Big day tomorrow!

However, today was rather boring. Hahahaha.
I mean, as boring as Buenos Aires could possibly be. xD

-went on a rehab hospital tour
-went to class/some confusion
-ate a salad with raw fish in it for dinner


I know touring a rehab hospital in a different country sounds unbelievable/risque/superOMGawesome, right?!?!?!
It was not. I enjoyed the first part, which was actually walking around the hospital and describing all the forms of therapy that the paitients go through... but once we had a lecture, I was donezo. Hahaha.
The speaker would talk for about 10-15 minutes before letting our coordinator translate. I don't know what he was expecting, considering that over half of us struggle understanding menus in Spanish and whatnot... but yea, his lecture was tooooooo long. I feel pretty horrible admitting that I wasn't as into the lecture as I should have been, but at least 3-4 people fell asleep during his talk! Blegh!

On the plus side, I had a nice nap both to and from the hospital! Haha. :)

for lunch I went to Burger King for a soy burger meal... I don't know if I wrote about it before, but it was very interesting. Pretty mushy and stuff, hahaha.

Sidenote: Argentina must have won the game... Someone is singing something outside of my window that sound like "Argentiiiiiiiinaaaaaaaaaa..... Argenttttiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiina. ARgenTIIIIIIIIna!!!!"
It's very entertaining!

There was a bit of confusion when it was time for class, because I will be shadowing at a hospital tomorrow until 2PM... so I can't be in a class that starts at 1PM, haha. The original solution was to place me in a similar class that begins at 2PM. This didn't work out, because it was a bit too basic for me. Yes, my Spanish is improving!!!! :DDD
I know, that's super insensitive to the students in that class, but they all told me that I probably shouldn't be in their class, haha. They were working on how to say what they ate for breakfast, while my original class was talking about how to say what we ate yesterday [past tense], so it was interesting.
Since that didn't work out, I will be back in my original class and I'll just show up an hour late every day this week. No biggie. :)

Dinner was interesting as well. I can safely say that I am Pizza/Cheese/Pastry'd out! Oh my gosh. If I don't eat pizza for another month [impossible here!] it'll be too soon! Hahaha. That's something because my favorite food is pizza, hahaha.
Anyway, Brad and I went on a quest to find a decent salad... We ended up going to TeaConnection, the vegetarian restaurant less than a block away from us. :)
I accidentally ordered a salad with raw salmon. Maybe I'm not cultured enough to enjoy it, but I really don't care for the texture of raw fish. It grosses me out a bit. I must have been making a lot of faces (note to self- don't do that!!!!) because one of our classmates, who was also at the restaurant, asked me if I was alright. Hahaha. Oops. xD
I did order some AWESOME cinnamon tea. It was so delicious. I will probably go back and order the same tea, because it was sooo good. :D

Anyway, that was pretty much all I did for the day. :)
I'm also super tired, and my mom said I should get to bed! ;)
So it's past my bed time, Chicos! [This is said in the same voice as Natasha, our program leader, hahaha]

Buenas Noches!

P.S.: Did I mention I had pumpkin ravioli for dinner last night?!?!?! hahahaha
