I have been here for two weeks, and I love it. This weekend was my first Rotary meeting. It was an orientation for all the inbounds and outbounds and there were over 100 kids in a hotel for the weekend. It was a lot fun, especially meeting new people. We had a party type thing and a talent competition. I was able to avoid performing somehow.
Im excited to take the big trip to the South in a month. Its a 18 day trip by bus and it seems like its going to be absolutely fantastic.
Today there isn´t school cause there is rioting and protesting going on in the city and tomorrow won´t be school cause the bus drivers and trolley drivers are on strike. Gotta love Argentina.
Life has a slower pace here. Things usually happen spontaneously and aren´t planned. For an Yankee like me, it takes some getting used to.
I have lots of friends all over the city now. Whenever we don´t have school or weekends we all join up in a house or something and sit around hanging out. This coming weekend is going to be nuts though. Its the first day of spring and the Day of the Students, so everyone goes crazy. Lots of clubbing and stuff. Should be fun. The cleaning lady is here so I gotta jet. Chau

Since you mention rioting and protesting...
I hope "clubbing" means "going out to clubs" and not "bonking people over the head." :D

Hey Evan, you can't just make a statement about rioting and protesting without telling us what is pertains to!! What is upsetting the people? Jobs? Economy? Safety? Food shortages? Please give us a sense of about the life of the people. And what the heck is Day of the Students?
Springtime? How is the weather?
I just wish I could picture how everything is for you!
