Week in Review

Amigos,

This past week has been really busy. On Wednesday, I headed down to the Immigration Office in order to get my Argentine visa. Right now, along with everyone else in the program, I'm on a 90-day tourist visa. But by the end of the process, which should conclude this week. I'll be considered an Argentine resident. We had to meet on Wednesday morning at 8, which was quite an early time to wake-up in the city. However, that afternoon I headed to the Plaza de Mayo, which is right in the middle of the city. Here is a picture of me and my friend Kelsey at the monument in the center:

On Thursday we gained access to the class schedules. There were so many classes to choose from, but I'm still narrowing down my list. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish two economics classes and a government class while abroad to lighten my loads for my majors during senior year. 

Friday we picked classes at UCA. I signed up for a few, and during the Drop period, I'll be able to drop any classes without any consequence. But the ones I signed up for looked really interesting so hopefully they'll be good. 

Today, I woke up pretty late and headed down to the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes with friends from the program. I arrived a bit early so I walked around the surrounding neighborhood, which is Recoleta. Recoleta is a beautiful part of town with many parks and statues. 

 This museum had so many interesting and cool works of art. Unfortunately, there was no photography allowed in the museum. But here's a look at the outside of the building:

hope everythings going well back in the US. I'll post later - with more pictures too, my Internet's too slow to get more up!
