A Little Catching Up

I want to let everyone know that I did not get lazy and stop blogging. The blog site was not working and of course it took me over a week to figure out how to fix the problem. Actually I have no idea what the problem was.

Anyway, Argentina won the Gold Medal in fútbol and the Bronze in basketball. It was really cool to be here for all that. It was also fun to watch the United States win the Gold in basketball, even though I really don´t care about those NBA players.

This past week was an up and down week for me. I encountered many things that were frustrating, but I also learned a lot. It was a little weird in my house because my family found out that I would be moving houses. Most people would consider it awkward when your host mom asks you why you dont want to live in her house anymore. It was fine though. I talked my way out of that jam....(IN SPANISH TOO). It really was a great week in my house though. My family invited me places and were more patient with me.

This week was a tough week because I had to decide which classes to take for the rest of the semester. It was easy to eliminate a couple. I dont need a ethics class or computer class, so I dropped those; however, I did enjoy the classes. The other easy one to drop was my Institional Sociology class. I really like the class, and I was the only male in a small class of 10 very good looking chicas, but there is no way I was going to take a class on Friday nights from 5 to 8:30. That left me with the tough decision: Art class where I would kill my general education requirement or a public relations class where the beautiful girls always invite us out after class. We even watched the Simpsons in the Public Relations class. I decided to take the Art class because those same girls that I have gotten to know so well now are in my art class. The class is more difficult to understand, but what a perfect way to interact with my new friends. I will be asking them if they would like to ¨study¨ a lot.

So for those of you who are still reading this long boring blog (Probably you Tracy because you are the only one that cared which classes I am taking, which is the whole purpose of this part of the blog.) My classes are: My spanish grammar class which I really like, A popular culture class which is very interesting, A one credit culture class, Tengo, Horseback Riding, and a Contemporary Art class. I also meet with the director of the program here 2 to 3 times a week for extra practice.

Well now that you all are caught up, you can read my next couple blogs which will be a little more interesting.
