Due to a class being pushed back a week and half, I could sleep in. I did and then I relaxed for most of the morning. I caught up on stuff and uploaded photos to Facebook of people and tried to continue uploading pictures to my Flickr. It is taking a long time due to the mass amount and the internet connection. I grabbed lunch and talked to people. After lunch, I chilled more before walking around for a bit. Back at home, I caught up on some shows and did my Spanish homework.
I then headed to a bookstore called El Ateneo here that is the largest in South America, with people from my group. It used to be a theater that got turned into a bookstore. I didn't take any photos this time, but I plan to next time I go. It was really cool. Saw a lot of possible reads despite the language barrier. I even saw a copy of Harry Potter put in the bindings upside down. From there, Nahuel, the leader for the day's excursion should us a place called Bond Street that was full of Tattoo parlors, skate shops and places of the sort. It was quite interesting. Then we moved onto a pizza place. There we ate a couple types of pizza. We then moved onto other places around the city. This is why I love CEA. They take us to all these places that many people don't necessarily see on their tours of the city. We went to a place that has a lot of cool places to eat and see live shows. I plan to hit up that area sometime. Then we reached an ice cream place and delicious ice cream. Then we headed home. Good day.
Tomorrow: Relax, Class at 1, Doctor's Appointment at 4, No se que mas.

Orientation
3-1-10
I woke up ten minutes before heading to orientation. The gang and I headed out to the university for the first time. I felt kind of excited. Eventually, we got there and met up with some other people in our program. Then, we and other people who are starting off at the university were shuttled off to the auditorium. They taught us all about our university and what not. It seems like it will be an interesting semester. Eventually, we finished minus our Spanish placement test. The test was okay. It was a bit vague in sections. After, I talked about one of the ladies in charge of it about my level and how I am better at understanding and speaking than I am on a test.
After, I headed out. I sat with one of the program heads and talked about various things. Then we met at as a group and started to head out. We learned about various stores and stuff in the area of our school. Then we grabbed food. I got to meet some other people in my program. We then got to know the area and some of the history of Argentina. I can't wait to start learning more. We eventually headed out. I had to run an errand but then I came back to the residencia. I hung out with the peeps. We had food and then relaxed, talking and listening music. We watched Gladiator. Love that movie. After I caught up in my journal.
