I have so much to tell, and no idea how to tell it! Okay, so in my first weekend, there was a "holiday" and a carnaval downtown, with women dancing practically nude! It was crazyyy!!! and a 4 year old girl pulled me into the parade with her to dance. Boys were playing the drums and the women, little girls, and some guys were dancing in very little clothing with lots of feathers.
I have been in school for a while now, and have gotten used to and am enjoying the relaxed atmosphere. We had convivencia today, so we did not have school. We went to a campsite to bond and chill. We dont have school Thursday or Friday either! :) We have many holidays here, apparently, which is fine with me! My family and I are going to Bariloche for the long weekend. I have "traveled locally" outside of Junin, to San Martin de los Andes and to this incredible lake, below the volcano. My sister and I sat on boulders and talked while she tanned, and I got burned :).
I can officially say I have friends here, which is exciting!! I go out to lunch with friends, and after school I go with a group of my classmates to someone's house, or we meet on the weekends to go out or "do homework". Anyway, I am adjusting well and I can't believe that in 2 days, I will have been in Argentina for a month. Five months no longer seems long enough...
