Don't feeling like writing much now, but I haven't updated in a while so I decided to make a picture post. Everything is going really well and I would like to think I'm fully adjusted to living in the city. Next week I start my volunteer job an hour and a half outside the city at La Casa del Nino. I'm so excited to get a regular opportunity to a) get out of the city, just because it is so different than the rest of Argentina, and b)work with kids! I will start off every week by taking the subway to FLACSO during the most intense time of morning rush hour (between 7.45-8.30) where people are actually packed like sardines with not a square inch to spare! Then i'll take a taxi to the town where Casa del Nino is and Annie and I will get spend several hours teaching kids how to make puppets/reading stories/playing outside/eating lunch! I'm so excited, I definitely think it's going to be a highlight of my time here. Besides that my routine is solid, I rarely finish any of my readings, but I see new and exciting things everyday and I got complemented by a porteno that I spoke faster spanish than him! Not only is my grammar getting better (I hope..) but my confidence/intonation is too... maybe? Hopefully!
Anyways, ciao for now!
