Today was pretty uneventful, as days have gone. Yesterday I got back from the cemetery and took a nap due to the extreme lack of energy that was overtaking me. (I rarely take naps—unlike my father). We had a nice dinner with a guest of my host dad’s. Then we all watched this show that supposedly is one of the more popular programs on. It was a lot better than the dancing show. I headed to bed after we had finished the show and dessert (mandarin oranges). This morning at FLACSO (our home school) we had small group consultations about our classes. I am just going to let my classes organically select themselves. At this point I have done all I need to do, and with the random lottery and the other parts of the process some will get selected for me.

Right now I have a range of subjects I am looking into:

Some of the titles include:

Education and diversity

The state and the church

Intro to international relations

Personality psychology

Urban Young Groups in Buenos Aires

Those are a few of the 15 or so classes I have selected. As you can tell by the diversity of the subjects, it will be an interesting term. I went out to lunch with a couple girls from the program and then we headed to Florida, a pedestrian street lined with shops. This street is pretty intense. It is packed with people…all the time. I was relieved to get out of there and make it back to my little room in my 10^th floor apartment. Tomorrow I am taking the bus for the first time, which is a bit nerve racking, but hopefully all will go well. Then I am meeting up with a girl from high school who is finishing up her trip in Argentina. Then I will be pre-registering for my classes. Busy day tomorrow.
