the endless search…
On sunday night, we put in a request for the slightly more expensive but overall favorite apartment in Palermo. However, we are starting to grow frustrated because we still haven’t received confirmation. At this point, we are hoping we can still attribute it to Latin time, but if not, we’ll have to resume our search tomorrow….
***UPDATE- apparently they showed the apartment to some other people who have expressed interest, and the landlady will make her decision tonight. We, however, are not holding our breath and we have scheduled to see another apartment tomorrow afternoon.
cursos.
We are now on day two of our Spanish course at the Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA). This is a massive public school with multiple campuses throughout the city, and is considered by the majority of Argentines to be the most prestigious university in the city. It is also the cheapest- university is free for all Argentines, and our course (which lasts until December) is fairly reasonable.
Our classrooms, housed in the facultad de filosofia y letras, are about a 15 minute walk from our apartment now. Emma starts at 9am and cam at 11. Emma says that her class is easy, and she understands more than most of the students. However, this gives her more confidence to talk in class. Cam is enjoying her class because it gives her some much needed grammar review, and she has met a girl from Paris, and, somewhat ironically, two guys who were friends in high school and decided to move down to Buenos Aires together for nine months.
