Preparing for the weekend

Hi family and friends!

In class today I had a different teacher and I like her so much better. The way it works is I have one teacher (Yael) three days each week and my other one (Betina) two days. We met Betina today and even though she's really into literature, she is a lot more likable as a person. She earned a masters and doctorate in the US too so she knows her stuff. We are going to have to present stories and write for her, but at least she is understanding and knows about our culture.

Yesterday I got really sick with a cold and couldn't breathe. I woke up a million times over the night to blow my nose and have been sniffling all day. I think it has helped though because I do feel a lot better and I even went for another run today around my lake. It's really nice to get some exercise in, it makes me feel a lot better.

Tonight I am going to see a movie with some Argentine friends that don't speak much english and I am quite excited about it. I seriously miss seeing movies, especially with my Andrew. I'm sure I'll be home soon enough though and we'll get back into our movie watching routine. I talk about home a lot here, but I think that's normal. The other day we had to say 3 things we'd take with us on a desert island and I said I only need my family (Andrew of course is included with family) and nothing else. Being here really makes me appreciate my life back home but I know I'm going to miss it here when I get back.

Posting pictures isn't going very well. My camera has been dead (like always) and I keep forgetting to charge it so I've been using my phone..somehow transferring pictures from my phone to my computer isn't working very well. I keep losing videos that I've taken? I'll try to get some up soon though!

Enjoy the hot weather and eat lots of popsicles for me! Oh and in case I don't blog again in the next few days, Happy 4th of July!!! It's going to be super weird not to see fireworks this year, but I know you will all think of me when you write your names in the air with sparklers (which you have to do since I won't be there to do it myself).

Sending my love from Buenos!
