¡Rebajas!

Ahhh! What a fun day!

We went to visit a very prestigious university to see the course list and decide whether we want to enroll or not. There was only a small group of us who had the O.K. to enroll since you need to have a higher level of spanish, but a whole crew came along because it is a very liberal, outspoken campus...supposedly. You could tell by the posters that the students certainly had a voice, but it was so empty that it was hard to fully understand the picture they had painted for us. Anyways, I might take an art history of Argentina class there, although its a time commitment and...ehh...we'll see.

Anyways, a group of us got a café con leche after and just chilled for a while at the cafe. It was really fun and I understand why Argentines drink coffee, it's because they essentially call their midnight snack dinner, so 1. they need something to sustain them and 2. they need energy to be able to run on such little sleep. Crazies.

OHH and I bought the most beautiful, inexpensive leather jacket EVER. I was very uncertain because it is flat out leather and being a liberal, well, you can see my dilema. Anyways, I was assured that he did not buy any leather that was raised just for leather, they raise them to eat and conveniently use the leather for jackets (for tourists, like me!). Who knows if that was just a line, but it reassured me and got him a purchase, so hey, we all win. Except the cows and goats. They definitely drew the short straw...
Anyways, it was a liquidation sale so it was over 50% off an already inexpensive price AND he is altering it to fit me perfectly! For no extra cost! and he took an extra 90 pesos off to pay him cash! I LOVE ARGENTINA! and I love rebajas! (sales) haha It is a beautiful deep brown color with a purple tinge. It is gorgeous. Sad fact, though, I bought a leather jacket before I purchased a phone...My bad, mom.

ok, I am going to go eat another midnight dinner and then quizás drinks with some people I met?

Oh, side note, I really am enjoying the fact that no one has grouped themselves off. I can hang out with one person, then part ways and hang out with another person I've only met once with no awkwardness at all. It is wonderful and everyone is so nice! I am extraordinarily happy!! Oh. and I met my Señoras son. He is very cute. :)

It's been a great day that hasn't even ended yet!
