A quick update!
I am now in my second full week of teaching English discussion classes. My students are, on average, the same age as me and they have impeccable English skills. Most of them speak with British accents since that´s the kind of English they teach here. In-class participation is really good. I think we can have a lot of fun this semester!
I am now in my third or fourth week of working with the Comisión Provincial por la Memoria. I am currently coordinating a video-testimonial archiving project for the William and Mary students doing internships there. Two of them are my former Sharpies. One of them is Walker, who I last saw in Honduras. I had my internship group over last night to have dinner at my apartment and talk about Honduras, William and Mary, life in La Plata, etc. Today we started in on our first trial run for their internship work.
I´m really glad to have Kristal (the other Fulbright ETA) and her husband Venicius around. We make a good exploration team. Over the weekend we went to Buenos Aires and I caught up with my colombianos from San Telmo. Then we went to eat Japanese food and decided we might apply to JET for next year. Then we went to my lovely friend Jackie´s house and had an international Mario Kart championship until the next morning. Adoro mi comunidad inmigrante - sacamos un poco de todas partes y hacemos algo aun mejor: Interculturalismo.
Other than that, day to day life has been the basics: getting to know people here, hanging with Tino in the house, buying clothes (now that I´m not a hippie backpacker anymore), cooking food, trying to form the world´s greatest rock band, etc.
Cariños desde La Plata,
Ch.
