Busy, Busy Times

So this last week or so has been really busy.
First, a good friend (Clare) celebrated her birthday so some friends and I went to a beautiful restaurant all dressed up and just generally had fun!

(Girls - Me, Jobo Hobo, Clare Bear, Brittny and Linds)

Following that weekend, this week has been late night after late night, I feel like a student again just much more tired after a late night! I went to see Jason Mraz live in concert which was cool, he seems a little weird which I like, he was entertaining...fun times!

One of my lovely housemates, Joy, had a couple of friends visiting from the states so we went out to dinner which again was lovely. I love meeting people and was cool to get to meet some of the people who Joy loves most...made me realise how much I miss my friends though. I will look forward to some coming to visiting (hint hint)!!

I also got to meet up with some girls from London this week. Two of Lucy's (a friend from uni) friends are travelling and while in BA they met up with me for a coffee, well was actually some cold beverages and some mate. Was random as have only met them once before but was fabulous to talk about lucy (!) and just generally catch up. There are so many awesome people in the world.

Finally...on Friday my class and the Kindergarten class had a sleepover. Was not as crazy as I thought! The kids had a treasure hunt, had a visit from some bee people and just ran around like crazy people outside on the playground with torches before watching High School Musical 3 (awesome) and eventually falling asleep.

Result: I am really tired...good job I only have a three day week because of thanksgiving and am heading to the beach...xx

October News

So, life goes on as normal...work and play. My little kiddies are continuing to make me smile every day, they find everything hilarious, especially me so that is great! I have started to see how much they are learning and that is amazing. We have been practising ‘I have...’ and ‘I don’t have...’ so I get a lot of ‘me have...’ and ‘me no have’ which is definitely progress and probably not dissimilar to my use of Spanish!

Feliz Primavera! Happy Spring!

The end of September was the start of Spring here and with it the good weather, mostly. With every day or two of beautiful weather we have a storm, weird but true. Weather news...has been reaching highs of approx 32 degrees Celsius...lovely. At school we also had a 'Spring Fling' where the children came dressed as animals...check out two of my cuties!!


Spanish lessons are continuing...’going well’ would be a lie but ‘going’ would be an accurate description. Being the Special Needs child, the teacher loves me and I have special ‘talk when I want to’ privileges in class so is not all bad.


Had a long weekend in October so went to a town in Cordoba (about 10 hours on bus) for Oktoberfest, the German beer fest. There is a little town that hosts it every year and that was fun. A couple of friends and I didn’t book any accommodation so ended up sleeping in a hostel common room after paying to camp but without a tent...we considered sleeping in the open air however, those who know how ‘well’ I camp could guess that I quickly shot down that idea and went for the wooden bench INSIDE idea. Was a lot of fun; beer, friends, sunshine, hail storms, random people...


We have thanksgiving off, whatever that is, so am heading to the beach for a few days at the end of this month. Enjoying Argentina...places, food and people!


For you peeps that are praying for me can you please pray for the school and continue to pray for my Spanish and general settling in here.

New Blogger

So have decided this is probably the easiest way to keep in touch, especially as my email seems to hate attaching any sort of file. So from now on I will attempt to update news here and upload photos for you to see...
