Well, classes started yesterday...which is good and bad. First the good: I love having a schedule and something to do everyday. Second, the bad: With class comes homework. With homework, comes me being bored out of my mind...its a win lose situation.
Most of my classes are about 2o people. I'm taking five different ones: Argentine Literature, Cultural Icons, Spanish, Argentine Poetry, and a Teaching Internship (I go to an elementary school and speak in English to Argentine students to help them learn English.) I think I'm going to drop my Argentine Lit class and take a Media and Society class because it conflicts with my internship times. All of my classes are in Spanish and I can understand all of my professors pretty well. Back home, all of my Spanish-related classes were in Spanish so it isn't a huge deal to be taking only Spanish classes. I have Fridays off which is nice if I want to travel some weekends. Instead of having to buy books, we have to go to a place next to the school where they have copies of all the materials for us. It is very inexpensive and a lot easier to carry copies around than books.
Overall, everything is going great...thanks for all the encouraging comments, thoughts, and prayers.
Miss you all.

Glad your classes are going well so far and that the different language isn't posing a problem - I don't think I could do it. It looks like you're having a great time - keep it up. The pictures are great, especially Casa Rosada and the cemetery - very cool. We miss and think of you often.
What are your teachers' names? Do you have to call them Senora and Senor? What do they call you? CARLITOS? :)
Love you!!
They call me Carlos or Carlitos or Charles and I call them by their first name but I usually don't call them anything because they're usually pretty close by.
The cemetery was way cool and so was Casa Rosada too...I plan to go back to the cemetery often
Carlitos, that reminds me of one time when Ryan McD was here and we went to a Dragons game. One of the players' name was Habalito and every time they announced it you two would exagerate it with empahsis on the "lit" - Hab-a-lit-oooo. Remember? Good times!
And to me you will always be little Carlitie!!!! Love and miss you!!!!
who is carlitie?
You silly. Chuckie - Carlitie Get it?
