I woke up and hung out for a while during the morning. I read, watched shows etc. Then I ate lunch with some people. After, I uploaded photos and chilled with people. I then got the magical news that I GOT ACCEPTED FOR OFF CAMPUS HOUSING next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so glad. I will be living with Kelsey and Alex which makes me sooooooooo happy. :). I can not wait. I will probably leave Seattle or wherever like 4-5 days early so I can meet up with them and we can get our apartment together. After this good news, I headed out to see where some of the doctor's offices were. Some are by my school so I am hoping to go there on Tuesday. I then ordered one of my books for a class before home.
At home, I relaxed and started another movie, "He Got Game." It is pretty good. I uploaded more photos and downloaded some music. I then ate dinner. After dinner, some of us went to Plaza Serrano to check out the market. I and two other guys bought hats. Then we headed home where i have relaxed. Not sure what is happening the rest of the night. Tomorrow voy a Tigre.

Choosing Classes
3-2-10
I woke up and got ready for the second day of orientation. As we headed out, we ran into Pamela and a new girl. Her name is Chelseay. She was suppose to study in Chile but couldn't so she has joined us. We then took her to school with us. We sat and listened to the descriptions of the classes I could take. They sounded interesting. They there was a pizza lunch where I ran into other random people I know. After we all got on various buses for a city tour. It was nice to see lots of the various places in the city. It is an amazing city that I can not wait to explore. La Boca for sure is beautiful. I can not wait to take photos and stuff of it. Eventually we got back and headed back to the residencia. I printed and filled out my off campus application for Guilford.
I hung out with people and relaxed. We grabbed dinner. Then we decided to go out. Turns out a friend of Desiree's is a friend of my friend Christina's so we hung out at their mutual friend for a good while. Listening to music and chilling. Then we went out to a club since we didn't have anything on Wednesday. After being there for a bit, I had to take Desiree home because she was feeling ill. After I made sure she was ok, I crashed.

Another late night...
2-4-10
I woke up at ten because I went to bed at 1 after talking and hanging with the Argentines on their last night. I hung out and read for a bit. I then checked things online. My financial advisor at Guilford told me that I have to either try other or medical as my reason for applying off campus. I am currently trying to contact my doctor in Greensboro to sign off on it. He might have to exaggerate. Ugh. I then did some errands like get lunch and get a fake Argentine jersey for tonight.
Back at the hostel, I briefly talked to Abbey and watched the most recent episode of the office. I also looked at plane prices and I am trying to decide between Mendoza and Patagonia. There are pros and cons to both. I then hung out before school and discussed the plan for tomorrow. At the school in the art class, we made drawings that represented the values of the school. Some were really good, others were abstract per say. In the circle, we tried to play a game but the kids were too rowdy that we didn´t. In family time, we tried to the kids to focus. They kept fighting over rolls. The pinata was crazy and the kids fought over the goodies. I then headed to my hostel.
After a while, all of us who were going to the volunteer dinner left. It was a lot of fun. We ate delicious food and laughed at all our costumes. I got to meet a lot of the other volunteers who I had only basically said hi to before. Some went to USC. It was interesting hearing some people´s backgrounds. Some played bananagrams. After a while, we played 7 games of Flip cup that brought us Americans back to college. Then after that we hung out for a bit. Then around 11ish, some of us went to a bar called Bullfrogs because all the money raised was going to the people who lost their homes. After being there for a bit, we went to the club we went to last week. Equally as fun. So crazy. Electronic clubs are so much better than Hip Hop clubs. We all danced and sang and laughed. So much fun. Eventually around 2 something, three British girls and I headed back to the hostel and passed out.

Dirty hands
Day 21 (2-1-10)
I woke up around 9ish and cleaned up my room for a bit. Then I relaxed and read for a bit. Eventually I was able to chat with Abbey for a bit. It was nice. She finally gets to ride on a train. I also talked to Kelsey who was trying to convince me to come to North Carolina during my summer. I looked at flights and it was 400 US roundtrip just I don´t know my summer plans so obviously I couldn´t go book it without not knowing my plans. I also looked at the off campus application. I am trying to see if I can do it for financial reasons, then medical then try other. We shall see. Eventually I had to say bye and went to get food.
After food, I walked back to my hostel. There I talked game plan with the people who were in the art class with me for the week. Then we all headed to school. Today was my first day with the art class and the tigres (age 4-6). The art class, we made mobiles. Some kids were naturals at it but others had time focusing. I had to sit down a kid several times. In the circle, I had some of the young girls who were in group playing with my glasses. Then we broke up into our familes.
We told the children that we were going to be Mexico. We made pinatas. They were very messy but fun. The children in this group are a lot nicer. I have several siblings of the kids I had last week. My old kids missed me and were sad that I was not in their group. Eventually we had to say bye for the day.
After the volunteer meeting, Justin, Michele, Natalia and two new volunteers, Richard from London and Niko from Germany and I went out to dinner. We went to a resturant we had been to before. We talked about various things. There were many people who came in asking for money by playing music or singing. We had one kid who sang and when we offered him food instead, he just stared and didn´t know what to do. After a while, we paid the bill went back to the hostel. At the hostel, people are watching New Moon. Most of us are making fun of it.
