Taco Tuesday

I had my first Taco Tuesday experience last night, and wow, was it crazy. It all started when a class mate and fellow FLACSITO invited me with him to go have some tacos after class, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. So we walk into California Burrito Company (it looked JUST like Chipolte... exactly... same idea too, and spicy food...which is UNHEARD of here.) We ordered our drinks, which came with 2 peso tacos (66 cents each) and began the night. One margarita led to 4 more and the entire restaurant filled up with Americans. Everyone in the place got wasted and we ended up playing flip cup with the owner. It was a shit show. From there we went to another bar...then to a boliche (dance club). To make a long story short, I left the boliche at 3 am... It was Tuesday. I´m a winner.

The best part was today when I was talking with my host mom. She totally justified the whole situation for me... she said (in spanish though) "well, i know you are here to study (I have a test in my University of Buenos Aires class on Thursday and chose to party rather than study) but you are also here to meet people, and that takes time, and sometimes you have to give up some things in order to meet people and get accustomed to the culture. That´s what you did last night"

Well said Mariela.

I´m going to go "study" now... that might or might not involve a bottle of wine. (shared with becca.)

Alex comes back tomorrow and I´ll finally have a laptop!!! YAY! I just need to get internet connection in my house, but then I´ll be set!
