Time seems to fly by during the week but the weekends pass by so slowly. Probably because I am not used to having three day weekends every weekend. School right now isn't very interesting. There are two classes that I enjoy, but even in those I feel like we are just reviewing. My spanish class is a joke. Hopefully we will move to something more challenging soon. Some people like easy classes but for me they are just too boring!
Yesterday (Saturday) Mia and I went walking up and down Santa Fe. Santa Fe is like a huge street with lots of shopping and restaurants and stuff. Mia got an awesome leather purse that was like stamped leather, which is like so hot right now here. I can totally see it becoming a trend in the US. It is so cute! Also, we walked into EVERY sunglass place on Santa Fe probably about 10. We would go in each one and try on all the designer sunglasses like Chanel, Versache, Prada, etc. It was really fun! They are all "on sale" because it is the end of summer here. On sale is pretty relative because they are so expensive in the first place! I think someday I want a pair of Chanel sunglasses. I am not one for designer clothes or shoes or anything because the styles change so much and clothes don't always fit. But sunglasses are so classic. I decided if I were going to own one designer thing it would be Chanel sunglasses. Maybe someday!
In the afternoon Mia and I met up with Sean for a cup of cafe. Sean was hungry so he wanted to eat so we ended up goign to McDonalds. Inside each McyDees they have something called a "McCafe" which is like the front part and it is really nice and kinda looks like a starbucks. They serve high end deserts and tarts like Tiramisu and then nice coffees. I got a Cappachino Mocha which I would never think would be good from McDonalds, but it was really amazing! Mia and I took pics of the McCafe, check out webshots to see them.
Also, I dont think I have posted about my new technological toy. Its called the Slingbox and it makes it so I can watch TV from home on my computer here! My parents bougth a box and hooked it up to our cable so now I can watch TV here! It really is amazing. I am so lucky to have great parents who want to make me more comfortable here. It is nice too because I like to fall asleep to noise and i have already exhausted all the friends dvds that i brought. Tonight I will get my first weekend of Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives. I am sooo excited!
This week my goal is to get out postcards to all my friends and family. I just haven't been able to find any that I love yet. But like I said, its my goal to find some!
I put some pics too that I took this week at Plaza San Martin. The Queen of Holland and the princesses were in town and I went to go see them lay flowers on the monument. It was SO cool! There were probably 100 horses making a fence around the red carpeted area. There were snipers on top of the buildings keeping guard. It was crazy! The queen and the princess wore big hats. They gave her a key to the city and it was overall pretty neat. I decided if I were royal I would wear big hats too.
Hope all is well in the US! I am sad to be missing spring but it is nice here because it is starting to be fall. It is really pretty.
