Exams and Tandil

Hey,

So it's been a while since my last post. Hope everybody is doing well. Things here have gotten much busier during the past two weeks. 

Most of Friday I spent studying for my exam for World Economic History because on Saturday, our program, FLACSO, took us on a trip to Tandil, which is about a five hour drive from the city. We departed Saturday morning around 7, and after arriving, had a really great lunch. We were running a bit behind, so after we checked in at our hotel, we had a tour of the city. 

Following this tour, we headed over to a cheese factory, where for about 2 hours we enjoyed tasting different kinds of cheese and had tons of hot chocolate. 

That night, we had a dinner of Milanesa, salad and empanadas. 

The next day we headed to a ranch where I rode a horse. For lunch, we had a huge asado (barbeque). Then, we headed back to BA. It was a really relaxing weekend.

Then, we didn't have classes on Monday, so I spent most of the day again studying. Finally, yesterday I had my midterm- which was pretty hard, especially doing it in Spanish, but I'm glad it's over. After the test, I made plans with my Argentine friend, Patricio, to play tennis on Saturday. It should be a lot of fun. 

Not too much else going on here. Today is a feriado and I'm taking it really easy this weekend. My headphones broke, so I'll have to look for some new ones this afternoon.
