I don't know how time keeps flying so fast here, but it's already Thursday- I can't believe it! I had my final written exam this morning, and it went pretty well. I have learned so much more about the language since going to school here- it's been well worth it! I will also end up bringing back the Rioplantese Spanish (Castellano) accent with my new Spanish skills...haha! The accent here is way different than most Spanish accents and different nouns and verbs are used. It was a little confusing at first, but now it's going to be hard to speak Spanish without sounding like I'm from Buenos Aires!

Able to understand the Argentinian accent
(even without a book like this!) |
After the exam, my friends and I went to a few local stores to pick up some last minute goodies we needed before leaving Argentina. I then walked back to my host apartment and took a
siesta! I haven't had a nap this whole time here yet, but hey- never too late for anything, right?! I woke up to the sounds of a man opera singing and whistling in the apartment connected to my bedroom wall. It was very strange, but actually quite talented. I also began packing (boo hoo)... :(

A bunch of friends and I went out to dinner together for a "last nice meal" together before the end of the program. We went to a place called
Don Julio, a restaurant my friend Anna's host brother said was his favorite. It was in Palermo Soho, just a few blocks down from my host apartment. The restaurant was really nice and the food was to die for! I ordered a glass of Argentina Patagonia red wine and
Pasta de Papas- a meat and potato pie topped with olives, raisins, and a special sauce. The price I paid for my wine, meal, and tip was awesome, especially comparing the quality and service of the restaurant. The only thing missing was the free water...but that doesn't exist here. ;)

Well, tomorrow is my last full day in BA. I have my oral exam in the morning, a goodbye lunch with the ISA program afterwords, and will probably spend the rest of the day with my friends and host family. Buenos Noches! Besos!
