It's been way too long since I've updated you all! A lot has been happening here, and school is getting more busy all the time. As many of you have probably heard, I got mugged about a week and a half ago. Luckily he only took my ipod, which wasn't a big deal, but it definitely made me much more aware of my surroundings. I certainly had a feeling of violation, and now pay a lot more attention when i'm walking around the city. I also went to see Fuerza Bruta (Brute Force) a week ago, and it was one of the most amazing shows I've ever been to. It was a little like Cirque de Soleil, but a lot more intense because there's a ton of audience participation, and the whole crowd is constantly moving around the room. It was indescribable!

My new roommate finally came last Monday, and it's been really fun getting to know her. Her name is Jill and she's from Michigan. She's very very nice, and she has definitely made the house more lively because they three of us roommates now usually eat together every night and then we always sit around and chat after dinner. It has also been nice because we only speak spanish at home now, so I've been getting a lot more practice. Also, my quiet voice has finally paid off! My host mom is always getting on my roommates about speaking more quietly and more slowly, and today she told them that I speak like and Argentine! That was exciting because usually I'm always told to speak louder. I guess when I get home I'm going to have to go back to speaking up, but here I'm golden! A lot of my friends have also had new roommates come in the past week, they're all doing a shorter spanish intensive program, so I've been meeting a lot of new people.

I ran a 10K race today with some friends from my school's running team, which I joined a couple weeks ago. It was really fun because the whole team was there supporting each other, and Jill even came with me to watch. I did have some leg issues, which I've been having for a couple weeks, so I had to walk a bit, but I finished strong! It was a beautiful day for a run, and the race atmosphere is always so exciting. I'm also going to an Argentina v. Spain soccer game on Tuesday! Almost everyone I know is going so I'm really excited! It's a pretty small game because the club teams have already started, but I'm sure it will still be an amazing experience, especially after the World Cup!

Other than that I'm just trying to keep up with school (we have mid-terms in a week), and trying to fit everything in before I leave. I can't believe that I have less than two months left! I think I'll be ready to be home, but then after a week or so I'm sure I'll wish I'd never left. I miss all of you and hope you are all doing well!
