day drinking; not an argentine custom


11712
woke up early for class again, walk to the train station went more smoothly, today after the first break, i bumped up to the next level class. i liked this class more, but, it was a little heavy on the grammar and vocab building, it sounds like the next level up is almost entirely conversational, which is what i want. ill give it another day and see whats up. Claudia says that i should do what i need to do to learn, as this is my last class and grades are less important, and im not going on to more Spanish at NU n whatnot. again, give it a day, see whatsup. after class Claudia took us all to a cafeteria (read with Spanish accent) and purchased us a half-shitton of empanadas of various kinds, chicken, carne (beef), ham and cheese, spinach, all were delicious. also this happened
we then made our way back to class for a brief history lesson on Argentina, in Spanish. it was awesome, reminded me very much of my middle school days, lecture in Spanish, PowerPoint (though that was before PowerPoint, it was whiteboard in my day) in Spanish, it was fantastic. after that a good number of us, (all being of age that is) found our way to a bar and restaurant in the immediate vicinity of the instituto. had a few of the local beers (which were awful by the way, and im not just talking from spoiled experiences in the Czech Republic), and fancy mixed drinks. the place was empty when we got there, and remained empty till we left. i made my way home, screwed around on the internet, ate exquisite home made ravioli (ricotta, Parmesan and ham) now i write this, and will likely get to sleep, as early class times suck, and lone commutes suck more.
