Today was the first day of class!! we met up with the group at 9:30 and walked to the university. It is one huge building with like 20 floors! There is a house across the street from the school that Albert Einstein lived in. That was really cool to see, it is now that Australian embassy. When we got to the university there was about 100 study abroad student there from all over the world. We all went into a big room and took a placement test and then had to wait around for awhile for them to grade the tests so Adam, Stephen and I explored a little :) After we all got placed into our classes we had a 4 hour break so us three went out to lunch and then Adam wanted to go skate so we went to a skate park near my house and Stephen and I talked while Adam was playing with his board. We left there around 3:30 to meet up with the rest of the group to drink Mate. It is a type of tea that is an Argentinean specialty. After we drank tea Raul (our program director) gave us more information about the city and about our calendar for the next fee days. We all went home after that and did our own thing. Overall it was a really good day!!! It feels like i have been here for awhile already and I can already tell im getting better and im more comfortable speaking spanish and having conversations with people. :)
Hasta Pronto!!!
