It's July 5, which means that it's been practically a month since the start of this program. Wait, what?

hellloooo hello!

excited to kick off my blog in the sky, en route to Sydney! 15 hours down, 2 to go.  The hype is getting way too real.

Changing things up a bit for this post – it’ll be English only this time because there’s too much to say to fit both versions!

In the last week(ish), we prepared a showcase, I’ve met new people and caught up with old friends, and I’ve hiked a mountain – just to name a few experiences. Like I mentioned in an earlier post, in Ireland, people don’t have a strong affinity for time. As I have spent more time here, I have started to adopt the mentality of letting life happen as it happens rather than adhering to a strict, timely schedule. However, this new lifestyle has led me to let two weeks pass without updating the blog. So here’s to adjusting to the culture.

The time has come: my last blog post. Please enjoy a final speed round of observations about Argentine society and culture I have compiled over the past four months.

Today, I went to Brighton with IES Abroad as one of their offered trips. It was a really nice day with the unusual sunshine. I was excited to see the channel and be on the beach, and it did not disappoint. We got on a coach bus early this morning and drove two hours to the coast. We had a quick walking tour that showed us the Brighton Pier, the old pier that was mysteriously set on fire years ago and has been let alone to die a slow death, the lanes, and finally the Pavilion.

Ok, so it seems I have failed at keeping a blog. I’m actually keeping a daily journal for myself and then putting the highlights in my blog, but it’s been 10 days since my last journal entry. Since I have failed so miserably, I’m going to write two blog posts this week: one for the week of June 20th and another for this last week (the week of June 27th). Now, sit back, relax, and let me take you back to June 20th…
