Or if that was unclear

I'm dating Wolverine. Also... I know you've all been desperately waiting for a new post. So much so you've resorted to checking OTHER people's blogs who are also in Buenos Aires, which I just can't abide by. Unfortunately (but also thankfully), there's not too much to report from this hemisphere. After a long, but ultimately rewarding, adjustment period, I'm actually starting to see myself here permanently, so it's crazy to think that I'm nearly half way through the "academic" semester. Although academic is a generous term for describing the university system here, considering that only now am I starting to think about catching up with my readings. In addition, certain departments of the University of Buenos Aires are in the midst of a student takeover (related to the poor condition of many university buildings), so I've been over a month without my Sociology of Culture class.

I've been observing in a minimalistic sense most of the recent Jewish holidays and seeking out cafes in which to pass hours ordering pastries to make doing homework a little more glamorous. I've been checking things off my Buenos Aires to-do list, like exploring the Chinatown area of Belgrano (although I have an external motivation for going there as well), seeing Fuerza Bruta, this wild and creative acrobatics/dance company, visiting the Japanese Garden, the Botanical Gardens, and the Palermo Zoo, eating good pizza and hot chocolate and churros and taking advantage of the fact that I can drink legally here by ordering fancy delicious drinks (and even beer, which it turns out I love!). Well, I'm rambling, but these past few weeks have been beautifully indulgent.

Now I'm finally buckling down since all my work is catching up with me. My studiousness may be shortlived, though, since we have a program trip to Jujuy this weekend, which I hear is amazing, and it's feeling more like spring every day in Buenos Aires. I know it's been a long time since my last post, but I'm going to try to be more dilligent about keeping current in the coming weeks. Thanks for following and my thoughts are never far from home.
