Hi,
hope everyone is surviving. Well
it has been a while since my last report and I’m very sorry about
that. I’m
doing great here in Buenos Aires. The weather is cooling down. The
streets are filled with people wearing thick jackets and layered
clothing. God, how I miss the warm weather. Well
school has started again. I’m a senior now.
At 7:00 am I have to be up and ready for school.
I am understanding much more this time.
When I first arrived I hardly understood anything, like any other
exchange student. Out of
placement is such a horrible feeling. I’ve
grown much closer to my classmates.
Sometimes after school we get together and hangout and on the
weekends we go dancing sometimes. I’m
living with my fourth host family.
I had to move from my third host family, because they live about
an hour from my school in bus. Now
I live four blocks from my school.
In my new host family I have a fifthteen year old sister, Melina,
host mother, Monica, and grandparents, Ires and Ramon.
Ires and Ramon own a building that consists of three apartments.
The apartment on the first floor is being rented out to a private
mailing service, one of the apartments on the top floor is where Ramon,
Ires, and Monica work, they own an insurance company.
The third apartment on the second floor is where we live. Next
year Melina, my host sister, will do her exchange. We don’t know where to yet, but we should know by the end
of this month. Her and I
get along really well. Actually
I’ve had luck with all of my host brothers and sisters.
It
is going to be hard to say good-bye to my families and friends here in
Argentina. I have about a
month and an half until my exchange year is up.
I’ve
made my reservations for my return flight for the 15th of
June, which is a Friday. I’m
nervous. It’s a weird
feeling. I
am still trying to figure out something nice to do for my host families
before I leave. So if there
are any ideas please e-mail me…. Next
week I’m taking my last for this year.
The rotary exchange district
of Buenos Aires is organizing a trip to the Iquazu Falls for a
week. We will leave this
Sunday the 6th of May and return the following Saturday the
12th. I’m
excitied, because this will be the first trip with other exchange
students. I might have to
get a visa to pass to the brazilian side of the Falls.
I should be fun. Well
that is all for now. I will
send pictures when I get back from the Falls.
Bye
for now, April TokashArgentina
