Chau Buenos Aires!

Today marks my last full day in Buenos Aires. I attended a poorly thought through BBQ put on my IES, and I tried to convince my teachers to give me my final exam grades. The question about all this, that I have, is how do you study hard for a test and still do poorly on it here? I would not suggest this program for the fact that it is not a GPA booster in the least; in fact you are putting your whole life on the line instead of getting everything you need to get out of a program. Ok, now to get away from ranting about every little thing.

I am sad I am leaving the country. I really did enjoy the nature here. It has been life altering. However it has been ridiculously expensive for a third world country. In fact I have to pay to get out of the country. I had never heard of this before, but apparently it is really common when leaving an airport in South America.

While I’ve been down here I have been keeping a journal, as suggested by my interim class this past year at Wofford. This journal started out as writing down my feelings, and ended up the most random scrap book of my travels I have ever had. There are my tickets from all my bus trips, as well as detailed information about my hostels I have stayed at and how to get certain places in Argentina when you arrive. I have written some interesting inserts, in which some of them were even in Spanish. It has been interesting, it has been crazy, but most of all, I have missed home more than I have ever in my entire life.
