Un mes...

I have been here in Formosa for a month now. Sometimes I can't really believe it but this is really my life now. Usually every day I am busy with something and the time has been flying. I am really enjoying my time here and every day gets better. I almost never have a bad day, and if I am feeling down it is just for a few hours. It is almost impossible to be sad here. I am surrounded by really great people. I really don't even know what to write about because there has been so much going on. My weeks are filled with school and other activities in the evening. Hanging out with some friends or just spending time with my family and going to the store. In the weekend, I go out with friends, but it is totally different than in the United States. Instead of being home by 11, we are just going out by then. At first this was kind of weird for me but I am starting to get used to it. There is no such thing as "too late to go out". As far as weekends go I do anything from going to a 'boliche' to dance or going bowling. I always have fun no matter what I do though and I am enjoying everything. A few weeks ago I went with my family and cousin to another province of Argentina. It is called Corrientes and it is about 2 hours from where I live. It is really quite nice and I enjoyed my time there. It was nice to see another part of Argentina besides Formosa. As far as my Spanish goes, I don't really know to be honest. I know I have learned more and it is better than when I first got here but I can't tell any major improvements. It has only been a month though and I know this takes time. Sometimes it is frustrating that I can't communicate well but I really do think it is getting easier to understand. I know that I am probably leaving out a lot of things in this update but it is really hard to write about all that I have been experiencing. I am going to add some pictures though :) Some other things that have been going on are that I have been accepted to 2 colleges back home! California University of Pennsylvania and Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania. I'm not sure how many other ones I applied to, I think 3 or 4 but I am still waiting for responses from them. I really have no idea what I want to study or where I want to go to school but I guess I have to actually start to think that one through now. I hope all is well with everyone at home! Un beso, Kristen.
