hellooo



currently im at the local paper. i have no assignments at the moment so i thought id take advantage of this down time and blog what ive been up to lately.

To be perfectly honest, when im not eating lunch/dinner, hanging with family, or at work i get kinda bored.

Im only here for 10 more days though so its okay. after that ill be in buenos aires where hopefully ill be living with my cousin so ill get a good feel for young life in buenos aires which should be very exciting.



lets see...what can i update on.

well at work today one of my coworkers informed me that i have to wear my hair down all the time bc it looks soo good and so much better than when its in a bun. apparently when its in a bun you cant tell that i have crazy long wild hair and apparently the wild look works better for me. good to know good to know.
oooh and he just asked me how old i was...i say 20 and hes like oooooooh i thought you were older and walked away.
it was hilarious.

i just finished writing and transcribing a really long article about the importance of recicling and this group of ppl that traveled in a car fueled by vegetable oil from canada to chile slash argentina in the city that im currently in. very interesting.
now im waiting for my editor to come back so im blogging.

i also noticed a few differences with this paper and the daily.
first of all the repeat stories here alot like prepreview, preview, cover, postcover....all pretty much saying the same thing which i dont see the point in but whatevs. they also have ALOT of car accident stories that take up full pages. and they have this lil section where the locals can send in pictures of them or them with thier families and it runs as a picture collection thing.
the paper is also really small staff wise, which i think i mentioned before.

last night my aunt had a dinner party with a few of her friends. it made me really miss my mom. bc she ALWAYS has dinner parties with random ppl and stuff. soooooooo i went upstairs and skyped with her for an hour. i think i got really home sick. cuz as much as i enjoy it here. when im not at work, or with the lil babies, with my cousin, eating, or talking with my aunt or uncle i get really really bored. i just sit around unmotivated. o well.
in 10 days ill be in buenos aires. im hoping there ill get a feel for youth life cuz here its pretty much gp and i get a glimpse of what married life is for empty nesters and for lil kiddies, or married reporters...but no idea what its like for collegeage ppl here.

tomorrow im going on a 9 hour drive with my aunt cousin and their chior. ill be in charge or probs writing an article about it and taking pictures and recording for my aunt.
hopefully itll be fun!

then the 25 is the bicentenial of the country! wooo. (tho im fed up with news about it bc almost every story i write is about things done in the name of it. blah blah) anyway.hopefully ill be at th glaciers for that!!


i also decided that lil anie is very very much like me.
adorable.

kk. the end of this blog now.
