I don´t have time for a long blog post, but I just wanted to get some things down so I don´t forget my first few crazy days here in BA. My host mom, Leticia, is a single woman with 2 grown children and 3 grandchildren. But don´t let that fool you...she is an active, funny, social butterfly who looks like she´s max 45. We live in swanky Palermo, where there are a lot of fun restaurants, cafes, parks, movie theaters, cute boutiques, street fairs...basically everything I could ever want. AND she cooks me two meals a day? I must be in heaven.
We´ve been doing a lot of orientation stuff (signing forms, learning about public transportation, and later today starting our spanish placement exams), but we´ve still had some leftover time to explore the city. Maggie and Alex are still techincally on their traveling tour and are hanging out in BA since they don´t start their program for a few days, so it´s been cool mixing new program friends with familiar faces. We´ve been going to restaurants and museums and stuff together, which is really cool. We all came over to my house last night (because my host mom is super nice and let me invite a bunch of friends over) and watched the Oscars. In Spanish....good practice I guess.
Classes don´t actually start until somewhere between March 16th and April 1st I think, so hopefully I´ll be able to discover more about BA in the next few weeks uninterrupted by homework and classes (noooo)
