We have our small group orientation meetings this monday for the argentina trip. Prior to this, we are required to read and do some quizzes online about study abroad. As an expat child of the world, I found most of the advice in the information valid, but extremely obvious. Try not to stand out as an American. and Don't hang out at US Military Bases and Consulates. Hello captain obvious. Be wary of strangers offering to carry your bags. Really. It's good blanket advice if you've never left the American heartland, but it was skimming material for me. Watch out for Gypsies and Gypsy children. Especailly if you're a US Ambassador. But then again, even I've been caught by scam artists. Mom was right, if they want you, they'll get you somehow.
Anyway.
Went to classes today, dropped Ben off at the student health and wellness center. He's not doing so well, although appeared a litle better tonight. Jen picked him up two cases of gatorades at Costco the other day, so he's been living off of those. Classes today were hist of arch and structures. Pretty boring day otherwise. Grocery shopping this evening. Picked up some fresh mozzarella. Not as good as the cheese I had in Italy. But still pretty good.
