Things Pick Up

Hola Todos

So things are rapidly coming to an end here in Buenos Aires. On Tuesday, I had my grammar final and yesterday I passed in my final for Economic Development. Now, I'm working on my fifteen page paper for my class at UBA on Chile and next Wednesday I'll have my Economic World History Final. So much to do, in such a short amount of time. After that, I'll have my Listening and Conversation final the next week, which I'm a little stressed about, but after next wednesday, the bulk of my schoolwork will be finished. 

All this really means is that my time in Buenos Aires is coming to an end. The other day I was thinking about how long ago i arrived and how much has happened in the past few months. It's been quite an experience. I still have many pictures that I haven't posted in this blog to show when I get back to America and though it is sad that things are wrapping up, I'm so grateful to have had a chance to experience life in Argentina. 

This weekend, elections are taking place in the country. It's basically for the legislature and I ahve to admit that I dont really know enough about politics here to say which party is in the lead on the polls, but I'm sure that it will be smooth enough. Voting takes place on Sunday and it's obligatory. Sundays here are usually really quiet, so it makes it easy for everyone to vote, although with the gripe porcina (swine flu) I'm sure there'll be tons of precautions set up to prevent the spread of the illness.

I registered for the LSATs today. Its so weird to think that it's already the end of June and that the test is in September. That means I'll have to spend a lot of the rest of the summer studying, but I'm glad to take them in September when I get back. I'll be taking them in Massachusetts (DC's venues were all filled up).

Anyways, I'm going to get back to writing my essay! but Ill post again later.

Miss everyone!
