I started off the morning with a cup of coffee and being rushed out the door for school. Luli and I arrived at school right on time for the start of school
at 8:15. All the exchange students were gathered in a classroom where we were given a schedule for the events that are to go on while we are in Argentina. Carlos, the principal of North Hills school gave us a tour of the school. Their learning environment is much different then ours. Traditional desks and taking notes on paper is the usual. We all met up with our exchange students in the cafeteria for a brunch including foods such as alfajores, dulce de leche, brownies, and coconut cake. We then proceeded to hang outside and meet everyone from other grades. Kids from younger grades would run up in groups and ask us questions. All of us were the center of attention. After break all of us, including our hosts, went inside to a classroom and played a game where you had to guess which picture was America and which was Argentina. It was quite challenging I must say. Lunch followed and we had rice/ fries with milanesas. My family had served me that the night before and it was so good. From lunch we went to visit the kindergarteners and teach and play some games with them. They taught us a song and then we taught them how to play four corners. We finished our games and then went on outside to participate in PE if we wanted. I hung out with some of the exchange people and then went and played soccer with some of the host girls. School came to an end and Luli took me to one of their grocery stores before we headed to a little get together at another one of the girls homes. Most all the snacks were different from what we have back home. We bought different chips and crackers. We left and proceeded to Delfi’s house. A lot of the girls came with their exchange student and we all just hung out, talked, and played some music. It was quite an eventful day.
