TATTOO!!!!
i got mine! hurraaaaaaay! it actually didnt hurt really, it just kinda felt uncomfortable. lasted about an hour. the tattoo artist didnt let me bring my cousin with me so i had to do it alone...and the only thing i could stare at was the cieling or this poster of a half naked women...fun lol. i couldnt really talk with the tattoo artist bc the noise of the tattooing was loud and i couldnt hear.
speaking of the tattoo artist, his name is pablo annnnnd! he tattooed Diego Maradona, Andres Calamaro and a bunch of other famous people...SOO cool.
after it was all done i almost passed out..my blood sugar went down and almost calapsed down the stairs...but then they gave me pop with sugar and i was fine.
CLASSES:
well lets seee. i am now done with both seminars. the second one was during an intensive week with class everyday for 5 hours each day..crazy. the class wasnt bad. the prof was really good, she a. knew what she was talking about and b. knew how to keep everyone interested in the subject for a long period of time. in the four days that we had class we talked about movies, tv shows, instituional spots (i think thats how you say it in english..) and commercials. the prof wants me to do the final project so i have to analize one of those in depth and write a min 5 page essay on it in spanish...this is gonna be fun. (its a grad level class and she grades really hard.. O boooy)
everyone in my class was 24/25 + and everyone assumed i was that age..and then they find out im 20 they were shocked.. i think im gonna start lying about my age.
i also met a girl that has a similar story ... she was born in the states went to high school in france and her dad worked in argentina..therefore she speaks all three of those languages. very interesting!
the first day of the class the pipe inside the class room exploded causing a flood of soapy water..the class kept going. and each day they kept changing the location of the class room..so i got to see alot of different classrooms which was cool. theres also a mandatory break where they provide you with coffee or tea and in the morning classes they give you pasteries as well...awesome!
i also got to learn a bit about how argentina works and how the tv works (things dont start on time..depending on the popularity they are extended or shortened and there are no commercials between programs, only throughout the programs).
first day of class it went over an hour and that made it 830...very dark out and i never traveled alone in the dark here so iwas freaking out..and it was pouring rain..but i made it! and now i no longer fear it. hurray.
the last day i got invited to go out with the ppl from my first class which was really fun!
outing adventures:
friday night i went out with my mom and her work friends and we went to a tango place. there i found out that i really really like dark quilmes stout beer...its really good!
and i pissed off an old man. he wanted to dance with either me or my mom...we both just walked by. and hes like hmmpf! and throws his arms up all pissed..it was hiliarious!
my mother also introduced me to her doctor friends and insisted on saying ooh hes a nice young man to everyone...it was really funny.
saturday: i went out with my class which was realyl fun. we went to a bar called acabar where they have alot of table games so we played sexonary (pictionary but about sex) and jinga. and we also got really good food. soo fun! from there went to a pub but i left before it got exciting bc i had to get up early ish since i got invited to go ot a bbq to watch the game and i was getting picked up early.
sunday. went to the bbq watched the game... was again reminded taht i should start lying abuot my age and say im at least 23 cuz when they find out im 20 they all freak out lol.
i also got to talk to alot of ppl about politics, the current president here, their thoughts on her, their thoughts on obama, universal health care, the poverty, the corruption (the majority of the police here are all bought off by the bad guys), how no one really respects rules...like driving rules for example.
all very interesting stuff but WAY too much to type out so if your interested we'll talk about it!!
last update about work:
