Buenos Aires!

So I am officially moved into my room in Buenos Aires, or "Baires" as the locals call it.  I am currently living in the dormitory for the girl boarders.  It's like being in college all over again, woo! Except that I'm not because I'm grown up, and I have my own bathroom, and I'm not very cool here, and I also don't understand half of what everyone else is saying.  But it's pretty good, everyone here is very friendly and welcoming, they are just very shocked when I correct them by saying I have just graduated from university instead of high school.  The administration here is super helpful too and takes pretty good care of us "gap students." About half the adults talk to me in Spanish and the other half in English.  I would prefer Spanish, especially since I'm required to speak English to the students, but apparently I don't look like I'm from the Argentine.  And apparently my Spanish isn't very good because last night I asked a waitress where the bathroom was - in Spanish - and she answered me in English. 

The weather here has been pretty for the most part, not too warm, it was probably mid 60s when I got here yesterday.  It's impossible to know for sure though because I don't speak Celsius.

The school is located about 15 minutes outside the capital city, in Quilmes, which is nice because it prevents me from spending all my money.  But Manu (EA's boyfriend) took me into the city for dinner last night at this local place called Cafe Piedra Dura.  Not really, but he did joke about it because it's the opposite of local, and EA gave him crap for it so, naturally, we settled for some "local" Irish instead.  Also, EA warned me he was a crazy driver, jokingly, but in all seriousness, I was scared.  These are the craziest drivers I have ever encountered.  Also, the widest roads I have ever seen.  Check it out.

Avenida 9 de Julio

That's 14 lanes, I think? It is a beautiful city though, and I can't wait to see more of it.  I plan on going to a soccer game with Manu tonight so I will let everyone know how it goes.  Hasta luego!
