First Weekend

Twas a long weekend of orientation.  I spent much of it sitting in a room listening to people ramble on about safety, the transit system, and academics.  I may have had my eyes closed, but I swear I was listening!  I wasn't nodding off, I was simply nodding in approval of their ideas...

Anyway, I haven't had much time to do anything other than obligatory school prep, but today I managed to walk around a bit with my camera.  I definitely got to see some cool stuff.  Here are some pictures!


This was just on a wall off  the street.  Pretty sick.




Congress

This was awesome.

Tomorrow I have my first day of class.  I'll be taking a Spanish class, an Argentine History class, and an Argentine Literature class for a total of 9 credits.  Not bad for a 6 week time period.

Unfortunately I have to leave my Starbucks to eat some dinner (it's 9:10 PM, almost dinner time here...)  Perhaps I'll write a real post tomorrow or the next day providing more information about my experiences here.  I'm also in the process of uploading a bunch of pictures to Flickr.com so that you can all see the stuff I choose not to include in the blog.

  2. Nick,

    I'm eagerly awaiting your future posts! Bookmarking...now! I'm glad you're blogging this, and if you don't mind I may share this blog with a few students to track you over the summer. One thing I wish I would have done more in my travels is to make mental notes of everyday life. What's different? How does it make you feel? How does it define the place or people? Just an idea... You're a great writer, Nick. Keep it up and stay well!
