This Week

April 1- Casa Holden

Let me just start out this post by saying Happy April Fools Day. but anyways i figured i would give a little update on the weekend and past events.

So during all last week i dont really think anything that exciting happened. there was school and a lot of work during the week. friday, i had worked almost the entire time in between classes trying to run around and get everything for the weekend event that i planned done aka we were going to this argentine show in spanish about the history of argentina. but so friday night i had to go down to get the tickets for the show the next night. the show was down in Boca and a shady part of Boca too so Russ and Zach escorted me down there on Rafa's orders. haha but we had a great time. we got the tickets and then went out to dinner and ate some really good pizza down in recoletta. but then i went home and just chilled out for a little while before i left again to go meet some people at a bar. we went to this semi-american bar that we go to a lot and i randomly happened to see my host brother there which was great. i spend the rest of the night hanging out with him because all the pepperdine kids were going to a club and i didnt really want to go to a club. then we got home at like 4 but i slept in on sat for a while so it was definitely fine. i studied for a little while after waking up and then i had to get ready and go to the casa to go to the show. it was fun because we had our own bus take us there and back to the show because there were about 40 of us that went. the show was definitely interesting. it was impossible to understand because it was all in spanish but they were singing songs and everything so almost no one really understood all of it. but the costumes were cool and it was definitely a cool experience to go to once. however we got back really late and i felt bad that we got back so late but oh well i think everyone had a good time. but then on sunday i woke up early and went to tigre with some friends that are in a different program. we took a boat tour type thing of the river and ate lunch at one of the restaurants located near the river. we then just relaxed on the lawn by there and hung out for a while. then we got back on the boat and went back into the town part of tigre. there is this huge market thing called punto de frutas which we thought that was going to be a fruit market thing but in reality it turned out to be this huge market thing with anything and everything besides fruit. haha. after that i went back to my house and ate dinner with my fam and then studied the rest of the night. i had a hum test on monday and i thought that it wasnt going to take me that long to study for it but in reality i was up way too late on sunday but i think i did alright on the test. last night i went to a movie and just hung out after classes and today i have class, break, class, convo, convo dinner and then i am not sure what after that. we dont have school tomorrow because of some national argentina holiday so i am sure that i will be going out tonight. tomorrow i am going to go do help out at this place (specific i know but i dont remember what it is called or what kind of place it is) but then i planned an event to go see the musical Rent in spanish so we are doing that tomorrow night. thurs and fri will most likely just be classes. i have to give a 7 min presentation in spanish in spanish class so i need to get ready for that. and then on sat morning we leave for Peru and spring break! i am so excited for that. i am sure we are going to have a great time. but i most likely wont write on this again until after spring break unless something epic happens between now and then... so i hope everyone has a great rest of this week and a good week next week and ill for sure let you know how peru was when i get back!

ps. i will get bariloche pics up soon. i have mine online but i was going to send some of my friend pics to so i am just waiting for those :)
