Yay!

We just had our first movie night, complete with North American (read as: US-Mexican food, bbq chicken pizza) food. A big hit! My students are starting to email me more with questions too, and they´re enjoying our English Discussion Class blog that Kristal and I set up.

Things are going great in La Plata - loving life and making friends! I´m signing up for a Portuguese class and, actually, maybe a Chinese class depending on what it´s like. First class is tomorrow. And I´m signed up for a tango/milonga lesson, we´ll see how that goes.

I had placed a musician classified ad at a few music stores around here and got a few bites: a local saxe player looking to start a jazz combo to play some standards and a blues/rock band, both looking for a bass player. I´m glad that I switched to bass at age 12, it makes finding musicians to play with a lot easier. First ´band practice´(?) is tomorrow afternoon.

So I continue to feel at-home and happy in La Plata and I´m finding out what cool extracurriculars there are to do. So far I´ve found everything I looked for so, um, HAKUNA MATATA.

Next week is exam week (read as: no university work for Chuck to do) so I may head out to Mendoza for the second part of the week.

Rock,
