Winter blues in Summer hues

     So its February...remember when i first got to Argentina and i was so excited about...well everything? I was making friends and doing new fun things, and all kinds of stuff. And then i had some great times traveling around over winter break and now its the middle term. And....If they told me i could go home tomorrow you'd be hard pressed stopping me. See, its not that its horrible here, or any of that nonsense....its just that I've been away from home since September and kinda like a hobbit, I'm rather fond of home. Also, like any college student in the pacific northwest, and probably other places, winter term is just exhausting. You have no energy for anything and everything sucks. So despite the blazing heat here and there, I'm just tired and homesick.

    But! On the bright side i have been learnign traditional Argentinian cooking in Folklore class, the Iguazu trip, spring break, and the Brasil trip are all back to back here pretty soon, and i have hamsters. So thats nice. Not to mention my friends here rock, i mean i can either excercise myself to death with Callie, make snarky remarks and serial watch movies/sherlock with Amairis, discuss the furthering of our hippie selves with Elena...ok clearly this was a mistake i'm not going to list all my friends and the things i do with them. But my point was i have awesome friends. And....i mean i can actually speak Spanish now. Does this mean that i feel like using it on a regular basis, however? No. But when taking all Spanish classes that's not really an option.

     So anyways, I'm fine. I miss everyone at home. Maybe i'll write more blog posts.

  2. Winter term is definitely the hardest one to motivate yourself through. The year will speed up and you'll be done there and headed to Germany before you know it!
