Another [less eventful] Friday night in Buenos Aires
A quick note to say that I slightly updated the post about the residence (I forgot to mention the hammock and I made a couple small tweaks/additions).
Also, I changed the time on my blog [several days ago, actually] to reflect the time in BA.
I killed a tiny spider in my room this morning, and there have been two heavy rainstorms this afternoon and evening. I´ve explained to a couple people the Old Wives Tale of ´if you kill a spider, it will rain.´ A couple people already knew it, but noone thought it quite as amusing as I did...
I´m starting to put together some Spanish sentences here and there. I do sound like a six year old child... We did a little conversation practice in class today, and that helped. My profesora rocks. Hopefully next week will have me speaking more sentences. However, I only know the present tense conjugation of verbs, so that limits what I can say.
Tonight, I went with another guy from the residence and another girl who is soon to be living at the residence, to part of a clasical concert at a bank, in celebration of the bank´s 150th anniversary. The music was pretty good -- just not quite to my taste for classical music. Though, I do not regret going (it was free). Live classical music is always nice. I´ve loved classical music since I was a kid, and I played four instruments while I was in high school. While I still have my flute in storage, it´s been so long since I played it that I don´t remember some of the fingerings. When I was 12 or so, I wanted to join a symphony and work on recordings of movie soundtracks. Alas, I discontinued my involvement in the school band after my junior year of high school and have since played my flute only a handful of times.
I came back to the residence hoping to find that the others and go out with them (to be honest, after the concert I was more interested in finding the others and going out with them). Alas, most were already gone and now here I am at the internet cafe.
It will be nice to have a quiet evening, as I plan on going with another person or two to a travel agency tomorrow, to see about tickets for Puerto Iguazu. We´re talking about going next weekend, and we need to book flight and hotel reservations.
I´m about to go and get some dinner and I will likely read and do some writing afterwards.
My homework can wait until Sunday night...
