Escuela y tarea

(above is a picture of the entrance to Universidad Blas Pascal)

Hola everybody! I haven't had wifi for the last few days, so here is my update for the school week as tomorrow (Thursday) is my last day of school for this week. It has been the usual, wake up, eat breakfast, off to three hours of classes at UBP, and to the gym afterward. I am loving going to the gym four days a week after class for a few hours. It makes the days go so quickly and makes me feel a little better about always having seconds or thirds of Graciela's cooking and for sneaking late night spoonfuls of Dulce de Leche. Dulce de Leche is one of the best tasting things in Argentina. It is a milk caramel sauce that Argentinians put on just about everything you can imagine: bananas, apples, crackers, cake, merengues, and my personal favorite, mini pancakes. Enough about Dulce de Leche because I could go on for days and back to my school week. I am definitely getting into a routine and like I said, it's making the time go so quickly. It's already nearing a month here and I can't believe it! I no longer feel nervous in the streets, confused on the buses, or dumbfounded by how fast the natives speak, which are tremendous victories in themselves. Two weeks from today I leave for Mendoza wine country. I am beyond excited for Mendoza because we will be spending time in the Andes Mountains (my reason for coming to Argentina, besides the beef excess). I am also roughly planning a trip to Buenos Aires for the end of April and a trip to Iguazu Falls in the beginning of May. My ankles are still sore from my hike on St. Patrick's Day, but it was totally worth it. My dance class on Tuesday went awesome! We are currently learning the Merengue and a little bit of Salsa, as well as dipping into the hip-hop video moves for fun. All is well in Cordoba. Thanks for reading. I now have over 1,040 views on this blog which is amazing.
Chao,
Alex
