I've meant to post more, but things have been really busy here lately. It's weird but although I haven't been traveling, I feel like I've barely had anytime to truly relax. This past weekend was a lot of fun though! Although I spent much of the weekend working to prepare for finals and a presentation, I also had a chance to go out to celebrate a birthday of one of my friends in the program! It was a lot of fun and a good way to chill out before the onset of finals.
Today, I had a presentation in my class at the University of Buenos Aires. It was on Venezuela and Hugo Chavez. Although I was nervous, I was in a group of four students and I was the only American so I was pretty confident that if I got confused I would be able to get help from one of the other kids in the group. The presentation went really well and I got a good grade. It was weird too because this project was my last real assignment before finals start up.
Tomorrow, I get my first final in one of my Economics classes. It's a take-home and I have a week to complete it. My professor has been telling us that it's going to be really hard, but he also told us that the midterm was going to be really hard too and that turned out to be pretty easy, so it's really hard to know if he's just trying to scare us into doing some of the reading before the test or whether it actually will be hard. But I figure that I'll find out tomorrow haha.
Two weeks from today, I also have my final paper due for my class at the University of Buenos Aires. It's a fifteen page research paper, and I have to admit that I've barely nailed down my thesis. Like I've said, these next two weeks are going to be pretty intense. However, I think I work better under pressure so I'm betting everything turns out really good.
I know that this has only been my second post in June, and I wish that I could post more often, but the ongoing craziness here has made it difficult to do that! I can't believe that I have just over a month left in South America and really only three weeks left in Argentina before I head off to Brasil to visit my sister and cousin, which should be really fun!
I'm off to try to churn out a page or two of my final paper, but I'll try to post again sooon.
Buenas noches!
