I finally did my laundry today. The first time in almost two months. That's a little gross. They don't have laundromats here, only places where you take your laundry and pay people to do it for you. You pick it up later and it's all folded. How nifty. Except I like laundromats. I've oddly enough had some of my best conversations and thinking sessions in laundromats. As I was walking to the lavadero with Carlos, I realized how many cafes and bars were righ...

So I decided I really should keep writing in this. I don't quite remember where I left off and I'm too lazy to read it, so bear with me if I make any repeats. So I have now been in Argentina for almost two months. It has been the most interesting two months of my life. It has been a mix of emotion, both amazing and tearful.

So I decided I really should keep writing in this. I don't quite remember where I left off and I'm too lazy to read it, so bear with me if I make any repeats.

Lots of times if you don't pay with exact change a store wont want to give you any change back. The only way you can really get monedas is to go to th...

Today was my first official day of class. Right now we are in a month of grammar before the actual university classes start. My class was supposed to be from 9:30-2:30, but the class I was put in was too easy so I was switched to an 11:00 class. It didn't end until 4 so I was there for an extra hour and a half.
