Ave. Florida y mas

So first I should give you a brief update on life...

My host family isn't as great as I described them the first day. They are hot and cold...I suppose. They definitely don't like the other student or I to be on their part of the house or in the living room. Our rooms and the kitchen is our only territory. Also, I learned that I am supposed to do my own dishes, sounds obvious, right. At first, they were over the top in doing everything for me, but I quickly learned that was only at the begging and that I do my own dishes. I love my roommate (she isn't really, but that's the easiest thing to call her). We haven't really hung out outside of our appartment that much, but we talk all the time and it's nice to have someone other than my parents to talk to when I'm at home. Also, we steal wireless internet from other people in the building. The internet only works about ten percent of the time.

Yesterday we took the SupT (metro) to Avenida Florida and walked around. Avenida Florida reminds me of Santa Monica, but triple the number of people and stores. It is for pedestrians only and there are street performers and tons of little shops on the side. Very fun place to walk around.

Last night, lots of people from Pepperdine went to a club called LOST. I have class this morning, but I went anyway. We met at the club at 2 am, so I tried to sleep a little before we left, but it didn't work. Aparently, it is the only hip hop club in town and it was pretty fun. I liked dancing with the pepperdine crowd, but the other guys lingering kinda creeped me out. I got home at 4am and we were the first ones to leave. People were still arriving at the club. Now I have class at 9 and I'm really tired. That's the way in Argentina though. I'm not sure I'll go clubing a lot.

This weekend I'm going to the beach in Uraguay. We take a boat there. It should be fun.
