I haven´t blogged in a long time so here is a run down of the last couple days.

Wednesday:
In the morning five of us AFSers went to the local TV station to be filmed. We are the first exchange students who are here in San Juan to do community service. One of the kids went on the set to talk with the host and the camera swept over the rest of us, watching. It was cool to see everything happening live in the studio. In the afternoon at community service, I worked in the kitchen and helped make gnocchi (spelling?) One of the students was turning 23 and her siblings came in with a cake for her (they are triplets so it was all of their birthdays) and it was really sweet to see her siblings care so much for her.

Thursday:
Thursday was our last day of community service at the school. We got dressed up in traditional clothing and danced El Pericón at another school´s celebration and then at our school. A newspaper interviewer was there and the next day our pictures and an article about us was in the newspaper! I´m famous here! At the school, the parents of the students were there to celebrate and to watch us dance, and the director presented us and explained what we had been doing with them the last two weeks. Then students came up and gave us our finished projects and gifts. It was so nice. Then we gave a million kisses and hugs and goodbyes and left. But I will always remember them. At night, Ago and I went to a friend´s house who is hosting one of the girls I do community service with. We stayed out until like 3:00!

Friday:
Yesterday was Argetina´s independence day and we just sort of hung out. Then a couple of Ago´s friends came over and we read magazines, painted nails, and watched movies. Then Ago and Mani and I looked at funny videos on the computer and joked around. It was fun! We went to bed at 3:00 and I got up today at 12:00, my whole schedule is different.

Today:
Today I have a pretty full day. My family and I goes to the birthday part of their one year old cousin and then later I go bowling with all of the people from AFS. Tonight I´m going out on the town. Ago and her friends and I are going to a party or disco to dance from around 12 to 5 or 6. I don´t know if I will be able to stay awake!

I´ll put up pics on my next post!
