Food, Friends, Classes and the Weird Kissing Thing  
      Hoy es lunes...and that means classes started this morning! On Monday i have Grammar for two hours, History, and then Folklore for two hours. Starts at 8:30am and i'm done by 4:25pm. Tuesdays I have fonética starting at 10:30am, History, and Current Events and classes are over by 3:25. On Wednesdays I start at 8:30am again with Grammar then in the afternoon i have Composition and Geography ending by 4:25pm. Thursday  starts at 10:30am with Conversation and then only Geography in the afternoon ending at--can you guess?--4:25pm. Then guess who has no classes on Fridays?! Ever. 


      So i said before the food wasn't that bad right? Well i may need to make a qualification. The food doesn't taste that bad, but is generally very unhealthy.

In case you are unsure as to what this is...this is the giant flap of cheese i pulled of my "pizza". And in the case you can't tell how thick it is, its like an inch thick. Yuck.Pretty much i eat rice and beans and salad because they really only serve white carbs and weird Adventist cookie thingies. I'm not really into eating slabs of cheese but that's just me...ok i mean maybe if its really good cheese on really good bread. But that is not the case.

   Friends. I'm making new ones every day and learning more about the ones i've already made. Here is a picture of me and Elena at El Dia Del Estudiante yesterday.

On Saturday night all of us WWU students went to a new friend's house and watched Buscando a Nemo.  I have now seen that crazy film in three languages. It was really funny, and fun.

Here are some photos from Saturday and El Dia Del Estudiante




Now you are all wondering about the last part of this title:the weird kissing thing. So in Argentina instead of shaking hands, high-fiving, hugging, or whatever else weird American things we do for greetings/goodbyes, Argentinians kiss on cheek. But half the time its not even your cheek they just put their cheek against yours and kiss into thin air...or that's my interpretation. But the problem is they were told Americans have their space bubbles so don't do that...so i never know when someone is going to or isn't and it can be super awkward or very shocking. Guy, girls it doesn't matter they will randomly kiss your cheek and maybe you are ready and maybe not. Mostly its a problem if you don't know which cheek they are going for and you turn your head and meet in the middle...so far i haven't had that misfortune but i'm very wary of that.

Lastly....yesterday a big group of us ACA students went off campus to get an impromptu dance lesson from of the girl's roommates. I would just like to point out why this is funny. apparently we ACA kids signed a paper saying we will not do this this and this...on that list included dancing. I find this hilarious...We all went anyways. I would just like to admit that i am not a good dancer...but i will be when i get back!
So far i have broken about 5 rules so far? I went dancing, i went to El Puente negro, i walked down an alley, i have an earring which i am hiding, and my jeans have a giant hole in the knee, which i had forgotten was there when i was packing...Oops. But as i am told, break as many rules as i want...just so long as i never get caught. My family should be so proud :) haha.
Also not sure why this is centered...can't figure this Blog thing out...
