Getting Lost in the Big City

The first day of classes started on Tuesday. I have to wake up really early in order to make it to school on time. I have been having problems with waking up I feel really tired. I am pretty sure it is just jetlag but still. I feel better now though this morning it was easier to wake up. On the first day we were told to take taxis to school. Well I ended up going to the GIC Argentina Main office instead of the University itself. So we had to walk 10 blocks to get to class. This was also the day that I had my oral exam that I talked about earlier. After the orientation and exam Alex and I decided to figure out the Subte...But we couldnt figure out where the Subte was. It was an ugly day in Buenos Aires. Raining in sheets and I forgot to take my umbrella. We got lost in the city for 3 and a half hours. School had let out at 1pm and we didn´t get home till around 7. However we now know the area prettyyyy well. I got home pretty soaking wet. Today we took the Subte to school and it was cray. Everyone is packd in the train cars like little sardines. It´´s really hot and stuffy and I sweat like crazy. Argentines have a differenct concept of personal space. I am just glad that no one smells on the subte.I have been spending wisely. Only spendng like 7 dollars a day. I am waiting till the 3rd week to buy jewelery. Right now I am just keeping my eyes open for low prices. I have yet to try the gelato here. I think Alex and I will be going when I finish this post. Tomorrow is the big game in the World Cup with Argentina. Apprently no kids go to school. They all stay home to watch the game, a lot of students arent going to show up at the university tommorrow. But I am. I did watch the game between Brasil and North Korea in a bar (which is really a cafe) with a group of people from school. Futbol is a sport that really sucks you in. I found myself feeling anxious for Brasil as the second half neared to an end. They won however 2-1. Everyone inside the bar cheered and started blowing horns it was funny. I need to figure out how to get pictures up. I am using an old cmputer right now so I can not upload anything. Yesterday after the futbol game we went walking around Calle Florida which is a district where everyone goes shopping. It´s like Bad Kreuznach´s centro but WAYYYYY bigger. Right in the center there were Tango dancers. I took pictures and video. I will have those up soon. My roommate has a computer and Im going to ask to borrow it. That is all for now I am really hungry. I don´t eat much here..pretty much toast in the morning and then dinner. Love ya´ll
