I'm finally here

After months of planning and waiting, I'm finally actually in Argentina. So far all I've really done is move into my apartment and go to the first two days of orientation. We're learning about all about the grading scale of the classes here, which is a lot different from anything I've ever seen, and going through the process of getting student visas and all kind of stuff like that. Starting next week I get to sit in on all the classes I'm considering signing up for and then make my final schedule by the 18th. Córdoba is a really cool city from what I've seen thus far, the people are really nice and very helpful to foreigners, and my living situation looks like it's going to be pretty cool. So far 3 of my roommates are here - a French girl and 2 German girls, and 2 more German girls are getting here in the next few weeks. Don't know how that worked out; 5 European girls, me and one bathroom will never be boring to say the least. Looks like the other exchange students are going to make up a fun group too - there are a lot from France, Germany, and Mexico, a few from various other European and Latin American countries, and 7 or 8 other Americans. All of them I've talked to so far are really easy to talk to, probably because we're all equally lost and nervous at this point.

Photos: The first is the street I live on, about 2 blocks from my apartment, the second is a cathedral in the center of the city, the third is a street performer a few blocks from the campus - they're pretty common - the 4th is an American import with "I'm lovin' it" in Spanish underneath, and the last is the family right before I got on the plane out of Jackson. Hope everybody's well - feel free to email or Facebook me whenever.
