Friday was our official first day of classes. We have been having intensive spanish classes for a week now but, everything technically started on friday. So that included another spanish class, and my religions of the world class. im really excited for religions of the world, it seems like its going to be really interesting, somewhat easy, and we get to go on field trips! so fun. in between and after classes i got to skype a couple of my favorite girls- shelby and elle. that alone could make my day any day.
Later that night a handful of us dudes went down to Plaza Cerrano- the bar district - and kicked it for a few hours. it was great to see that there are men mature enough out there that can go to a bar and still have super intentional and deep conversations. Those moments are so much more enjoyable than the drunken binges and dishonoring dancing that most of the world subscribes too. I' really looking forward to more nights like the one we enjoyed. After we left the bar we went to a super bomb taco stand. For the first time in a couple weeks now i finally felt flavor! The food here is great, but theres not much spice or flavor to it. My mouth was on fire for a good amount of time after that.
Many people expect that studying abroad means crazy adventures and crazy stories EVERY night. Thats not the case. If anyone tells you it is, they're lying. Theres a lot more to it than that. Theres a lot of down time in which you can get real and get to know the people around you more intimately than you ever would have if you were back in the states. Thats what this is about.
