Chistes..

At dinner tonight two of my native friends were trying their hand at a few english phrases, which turned out to be quite entertaining. My favorite was probably when Jessica turned to me with a proud grin and said,
"Shauna... don't tell me what to me."

Trish, Tiff, and I kind of sat there confused, and then Vale, another native friend shook her head...
"no, no. you say, don't tell me what to you"

We cracked up laughing when we realized that what they were actually trying to say was,
"don't tell me what to do."

All us ACA have had our share of embarrassing moments, that's for sure. It felt good to finally be on the other side of things. Haha. Learning a new language sure is entertaining...

Puppy Kisses..

This last weekend my roommate, Beby, was babysitting this cute little puppy, named Pica. It was great being greeted by the little wiggly furball every time we came into the room, and puppy kisses in the morning. And for a few days our room had that sweet and sour smell of puppy breath....
It was great.

Argentinian Downpour

The weather here is always changing...although it usually stays a nice hot temperature no matter what.
Recently we will wake up to a smoldering hot day only to have massive rain fall in the afternoon.
I love the rain and thunderstorms here. The rain falls so hard and loud, it's like a base drum that almost drown out our professors during classes. Thunder is even better because when it cracks you can feel it in your chest. I've never heard thunder as loud as i have here. The buildings shake, and the windows rattle, and it is so awesome.
Today was one of these days. My friend Nancy and I went and stood out in the rain between classes and were completely drenched after a few moments. If there was any dry spots left, they were taken care of when we all had to run back to our dorm.
