Waking up to Paulina's alarm has because normal, now. Her phone goes off at 6, the dean comes in a few minutes later... we all go back to sleep. Around 6:20, Pauline will get up and get dressed. When she leaves to brush her teeth, I get up. Usually, we're both leaving before Lucia gets out of bed. Most of the time, breakfast consists of cereal, and bread with jam. Every so often, we'll get a pastry. From breakfast we head straight to school. If you arrived on time, you'll stake your desk with your backpack, then head back out to the courtyard for flag raising. After the flags are raised (sometimes accompanied by the national anthem), we'll have prayer and a few announcements. Then classes start. Due to the light breakfast, by time 12:30 rolls around, everyone stampedes to the cafe. Lunch tends to be mediocre ... but still better than cafe food back in the states. To be clear, Argentinian food is not Mexican food. Yes, we'll have rice beans a few times, but on the whole it's just different from US food. What sorely is missed is hot sauce. While the food normally isn't bland, it definitely could use some Siracha.
As today was Monday, we exchange students had work in the afternoon. But after helping with Inglés class, Sarah and I hung out at the Rivera's apartment. I watched Sofia, and Sarah washed some clothes. I just chilled for the rest of the afternoon ... but after supper us American gathered and went across the road to the restaurant to watch USA vs. GHA. We had a great time. There was plenty of pizza, ice cream and coke to go around. And the US won... that's a plus.
