Semana Dos

Well, I have survived my first week and first full "Argentine" weekend. My friends and I tried out the popular Escra Boliche. It was interesting to say the least. Other than having a live band, it was comparable to clubs at in Raleigh, not that I've gone to a lot of those. It is better than City Limits, haha. We had a good time though..there were about 14 of us from our group, so it was nice. We didn't quite make the 6:00AM time, but I guess 4:00AM isn't too shabby.
Classes at the private University (Congresso) started today. I'm trying out a business class tomorrow morning, but I don't know if it is going to fit in my schedule. It will be interesting to see what it's like. I am really nervous about interacting with Argentinian students. I'm sure they will be nice and helpful, but it is intimidating.
We had a group walk around Parque San Martin on Sunday and it was luckily a really pretty day. Apparently, there is a free aerobics class from 9-1 on Saturdays and Sundays. Picture a Hispanic Richard Simmons on a stage shaking his hips Shakira style to about 50 Argentinian women!! It was hilarious! I have some pictures our group participating, so hopefully I will upload them soon. Wish me luck with classes this week! I hope everyone had a great weekend!
