Yesterday I started my first day of school. I am working at El colegio rio de la plata. I work in the secondary school in the morning and the primary school in the afternoon. So far, it is really great. Some of the kids speak better English than I do. They learn British English so it is def more formal than mine. I think I like the secondary school best--they ask more questions and are super excited that I am there. Today I saw presentations on Martin Luther King, Jr. and Barack Obama in 1st form (8th grade) and attended a literature class reading Things Fall Apart in 4th form (Juniors). In the morning, I only have to work on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. Hopefully today, I will lessen my afternoon schedule.
After many miles of shopping, we finally found Paseo Alcorto (?). Last night, for a mere 2 hours, we got to shop at all of the stores for 30% off. It was crazy! There was a dj and free drinks, lots of traffic and a ton of people. Lines were out the door and you could hardly walk through a store. It is amazing I found as much as I did. This is everything I have bought thus far. I probably won't be purchasing too much more as it does not seem to be different than shopping at Cherry Creek (even with the discount). So what does one do after speed shopping? Well, what any Argentine does--has a fancy dinner at McDonald's. I had a McNifica which seems to be a big mac in regular hamburger size form. It wasn't quite the Q-doba I have been craving but what can you do? :-)

Hasta Luego!
