Im back

Sunday night was the Festival of the Nations here. this is where all the counties here (well most of more represented ones) make a booth and have some sort of brief history and sell some sort of food/drink for the rest of the people there. we had been working on this for about 3 weeks. i and another girl (megan) were in charge of getting some sort of food/drink for this festival. but the biggest problem was that we couldnt cook anything, which when trying to come up with ideas for food really limits your options (no burgers, hot dogs). so megan and i decided on a drink, we did floats. so we needed ice cream and root beer. ohhh wait root beer doesnt exist here, next options....orange and sprite. and for ice cream flavors? vanilla and lemon. it was a pretty big hit. espically because we have been having higher than normal tempatures here. the heat we have been having now people are saying we shouldnt have until December, so if thats the case i really dont want to be here in December, it is going to be ugly. unfortunatly the drinks werent quite the hit that we thought they would have been. according to other people from here at the school not nearly as many people came as usual. i would say around 200 people were there and i guess there is usually about 400. after everyone gets done with serving food, most of the countries put on a skit or some sort of play (which of course we did). then of course afterwards we had to take down and get ready for the next day. but all in all everything went well with that. this last week has been pretty normal. the whole ACA group is going to Buenos Aires this monday to thursday. and since thursday morning classes are cancled that day, i dont have any other classes, so im going to stay in Bs As though the weekend and have a bit more chill time there which im really looking forward too. i have been planning out my christmas break plans to........PATAGONIA!!! im so excited im going to be hitting up several cities like Ushuaia, which is the southern most city in the world, and Bariloche and a few places like that. i will make sure to take a million and a half pictures and keep my blog updated very frequently (not like i have the past few weeks hehe). but i hope that you are all doing well and i love you all!!!!
