Testing, Walking, Shopping

Apparently I must know some Spanish because today I took a placement exam that put me in the second highest level, which is perfect to transfer back home. I'm very excited about it! I start school tomorrow promptly at 9:30 am and I'll be in class until 2:30 pm. I have class M-F and I'm pretty sure my class will be less than 20 people. Hopefully we don't play any dumb "get to know each other" games, but I am excited to meet the people in my class. My roommate Colleen leaves for Bolivia tomorrow until next Tuesday, so I'll be here with Beatriz by myself quite a bit.

I took the "collectivo" (bus) today with Samantha and it was very difficult to stay standing, but a lot better than walking for long distances. I'm going to have to adapt eventually, but for now I'm going to keep walking to school since I save 1,25 pesos and a lot of stress every time I do :)

Beatriz made us soup, personal cheese pizzas, empanadas, and flan for dinner tonight. She's just like a grandma, making sure we eat a lot more than we need to (or probably should) eat. I'm still very sleepy, or maybe sleepy again, but I'll probably go to bed early tonight so that I can get up early. I was almost late to take my exam today because I took too much time eating breakfast.

Tomorrow's Andrew and my 2 year anniversary and although I'm really sad that I'm missing it, I know that seeing him again after this absence will be one of the best moments of our 2 years so far. I can't help but think back on times we've shared together: all the weddings we've attended, birthdays and special holidays we've celebrated, the infinite times we've watched movies, the numerous Netflix tv episodes we've watched and the many seasons we've finished of each show. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to have this wonderful and unbelievably kind man in my life. I would not have even made it to Argentina without him! When I missed my flight, he answered my call while he was at work and took time to look up a number to call and figured out how to get someone to pick me up from my next flight.
I know I can always turn to Andrew and he is always so strong when I need anything at all. Thinking about him makes my eyes well up with happiness and puts a big smile on my face. There is no doubt in my mind that we will be together for many more years to come and we can make it through anything that comes along. I have to keep remembering that I will see him very soon and to be thankful that we have Skype and the internet to keep us connected :)

Tomorrow will be a very exciting day, my first day of school and our anniversary! I think it will be a great time :)
