I learned some new things about Argentina:
College is free.
There is no real recycling system; well, okay, they pay people to dig through the trash at night and find things that can be recycled. At first, I thought this was really disgusting, but once my friend explained that the only people who will do this for an actual job are homeless people and illiterate people, it made more sense, and I thought it was sort of a cool idea. But I still don't think it's very sanitary.
Argentines can be a little sensitive, so I worked on my cultural adaptation.
I think I learned more things but I don't really remember. All in all though, it was a good day. I feel happy and refreshed. I listened to some music that reminded me of home, and it made me a little homesick-ish, but for the most part it satiated my mountain longings.
I want to take more pictures, but unfortunately it's really ugly outside right now.
My newest favorite phrase in Spanish is "¡Qué feo!". I think it's such an adorable thing to say. Not when I say it, because my accent blows, but the way they say it just sounds very poetic and cute to me. I don't know how to explain it.
I have been talking in my sleep a lot recently and I don't know why!
