Going Out?

After a seriously long, but awesome tour yesterday, I went home and managed to get about half an hour of sleep before dinner.  After dinner, I went over to Bry´s to hang for a while, because just sitting around my host families house didn´t seem appealing.  I wasn´t planning on really going out, but once I was at Bry´s, a bunch of people were posting on facebook how they were meeting up to go to some bar.  So at 11:45, Bry´s roommate hailed a cab and told it where to take me.  We were meeting on the corner of two streets, and I was the first one there. It was pretty scary because there was almost no one around, and I had to wait about 5 minutes for the other people to show up. BUT, they did, so I ended up ok.

We basically just starting walking up the road hoping to find a bar we wanted to go into, and some guys that were sitting at a table outside of a bar heard us speaking english and asked if we were looking for something to do.  Not like super creepy Argentine guys, but a couple of guys that originated from California.  They live down here now and work as guides for a pub crawl. We sat and chatted with them for a couple hours and had a drink, then they took us to this club called QuiQue or something like that.  We had another couple drinks and had fun dancing.  Especially when the go-go dancers got on platforms around the room and danced :P.

We ended up not leaving the club until about 4 in the morning, so after walking home, I ended up back at 4:30. This probably wasn´t the best idea considering I had a test at 9:45 this morning, but it worked out.  I actually wasn´t all that tired getting up and taking the test.  It wasn´t until about one this afternoon that I really started getting tired.

This morning we took our Spanish placement test, and I ended up getting stuck in the basics class, which I don´t understand because the girl who doesn´t even know left and right in spanish got put in the intermediate group.  Oh well, I guess it´ll be easy at least.  So then we wandered around to find a restaurant for lunch, which was really good. I got this yummy rice/chicken/veggie bowl that was pretty good. A bit more wandering and now we have our academic orientation coming up. After that I really need to go home and sleep for a long bit. If I don´t get at least 3 more hours sleep before nine o´clock, there is no way I´m going out tonight.  I like my sleep too much.


Plus, I´ve only got the equivalent of like 5 dollars left in pesos. It´s amazing how fast 100 dollars goes!
