CLASSES BEGIN

Can't write much cause this is my busiest week so far and we're about to eat dinner (yes, at our house and in this culture they eat at around 11pm) but here are the classes I'm taking.

Seminar on Argentine Reality (history, tango, family life, fĂștbol, etc)

Seminar on Service-Learning (I'm working in the biggest ghetto in Buenos Aires where the biggest crimes are gun violence and paco abuse-- a drug worse and more addictive than crack-cocaine... wish me luck!)

Radio Workshop at the University of Buenos Aires (making a radio program with argentine students... the UBA is free for everyone and the classes are HUGE! I'm excited about this one.)

Spanish classes (Grammar and listening/conversation)

and A TANGO CLASS! Since the beginner class was full I may have lied with my dance background and got into the intermediate class where the average age of the students is about 83. Can't wait.)

Here's a pic of what the UBA looks like!
