So its been 2 weeks since I last updated my blog and that time has gone by so fast! Things have been good lately. A few weeks ago all the exchange students got together for the afternoon and just chatted then had pizzas for dinner! It is so good talking to exchange students, there is always something to talk about and it's so cool learning about everyone's countries! I've literally never been so immersed in a conversation! I think this is because we all have the same things in common and are all experiencing the same things!
School has been okay, I've had to do some tests and I bet they are interesting for the teachers to read! I got a 'bien' good, on one so have no idea what that means haha. So far they have only been in communication and literature so you can imagine just how well they went! I am just waiting for the maths and science tests! These are the classes I actually can do all the work in and for an added bonus the teachers of these classes are all pretty cool too!
For a few of the teachers I have lost a bit of my sheen... One teacher (literature and communication) in particular gives me these weird looks and humiliated me the other day saying in front of the class, if I brought the photocopies and listened that I would understand better.. because apparently reading along with someone else and using a dictionary isn't enough haha "What the frick does she know about learning another language if she is only limited to Spanish herself..?" hmmm
As you can understand I was very glad we didn't have literature today and was able to play an hour of volleyball instead!
Other than that I have some really good teachers, my french, maths and geography teachers are my favorites!
Right now I'm getting ready for my trip to the Iguazu falls. Sounds like there will be a lot of travelling in a bus so lets hope it will not be too boring! Before coming to Argentina I had no idea how big the country is! For example New Zealand's Land size is 268,021km² and Argentina's land size is 2,780,400 km². So nothing is as close as it would be in New Zealand! The overnight bus trip to Buenos Aires from Neuquen, the closest city to my town, will end up being 13-14 hours so that will be the longest time I have ever spent on a bus!
There will be other students from all around Argentina going, theres one other person from my town but otherwise everyone will be new! I'm definitely looking forward to the trip and I will make sure I take plenty of photos!
Chau for now!
