FINALS!

So, it's finals time and the workload has picked up. Unfortunately, my motivation hasn't. I'm planning a long night writing about Argentine politics and economics tonight to try to finish my take-home for Econ Development, but who knows how far I'll actually get?

Today, for my FLACSO class, we went to the Cancilleria which is kinda like a foreign affairs office of Argentina. We met with some ambassadors there who explained to us the role of Argentina in MERCOSUR and things like that. It was really interesting, but I was a bit too preoccupied with my exam to really pay that much attention. The building was really cool too, but I didnt bring my camera, so I wasn't able to get any pictures.

I have less than a month left and I finally figured out the date of my last final will be July 6, which means that I can head to Brasil (spanish spelling) with Val and Maureen on the 7th! I booked my flight to Rio from Buenos Aires and my flight from Iguazu back to BsAs and now all I have to do is secure my visa next week. Apparently the process only takes three days so it should be relatively easy, although a bit expensive- over $100, but by the end of next week, I should be all set.

Well, I'm gonna get back to work. I'll post later.
