A Glass Half Full, A Semester Half Done

It is hard to fully comprehend that I have been in Argentina for two and a half months and even harder to believe that I have that much time left. Looking back on the past two and a half months it is hard to believe all the places I have been, things I have learned and how much has happened in such a short amount of time. The time feels like it has gone by quickly but I know I have made the most of every moment. I have traveled, explored and built friendships. I have also learned a lot of Spanish which is a feat within itself considering I couldn't string a sentence together when I arrived.

The next two and a half months are going to go by quickly but I know I will continue to travel and fall more and more in love with this beautiful country. This upcoming weekend my host family is taking me to the countryside of my province, Cordoba, to see some of the nearby cities that I haven't visited yet. The following weekend I will being headed to Brazil for a few days to see some friends and host families. Lots of traveling still to come!

School is in full swing now and midterms have begun. The bulk of my assignments and exams will be this next week and will include: a paper about euthanasia for Spanish, a photography project, and tests in my Argentine Literature and Spanish classes.

I am loving my host family. They regularly include me in every family event and always make me feel at home. My host mom is a wonderful cook and my host dad can always make me laugh.

This past weekend I traveled to Jujuy in the north of Argentina. I was only there for a couple of days but I had an incredible time and got to see some breathtaking places. I will blog soon with a post exclusively about the trip but until then, here a couple pictures from my weekend.
