Today was a very busy day for me. I finally took a Spanish placement test; I was put into Intermediate B (the second highest level). This is exactly the level I was looking for! That is exciting. I met with an academic adviser at Universidad de Belgrano to talk about classes I can take. Their system for registering for classes is so much more relaxed than it is in the U.S.!! I almost can't believe it. We are supposed to sign up for classes on the first day. (This is crazy since I already received an email from my home university saying that I need to start planning my schedule for next year...oops). Next, we had a 3 hour long orientation to the university. I understood about 80% of the words they said. After that I bought a subte (metro) card and had lunch. After all of our planned activities ended some friends and I went out to try mate. Mate is a popular drink, and social activity, in south america that tastes like green tea with extra leaves
Overall, today was great...and super busy.

Arielle,
ReplyDeleteI am printing your blog to read to Grammy. That way we can share your experiences. She is really happy about hearing about your stay in Argentina. Please post more when you are not too busy.
I told Grammy you were going to learn the tango. She said that she and Pop pop used to dance the tango. I asked her if he ever dipped her, and she said, "Of course!"
Adios!
Love,
Aunt Jocelyn
