Day 23 •• June 18

     Sorry for skipping yesterday, but nothing really happened. It was just one of those days. So was today. Most of it, at least. Get up, eat breakfast, go to classes. Eat lunch, do whatever in the afternoon ... blah, blah, blah. However, today I was in the computer lab for 6 of my 8 classes. Yeah! Unfortunately, my computer was like the only one that had Facebook blocked. But I was able to work on my online Algebra class ... and add 90+ YouTube videos to my Watch Later playlist. No joke. I subscribe to a bunch of channels. However, YouTube doesn't load well here, so I have a ton to catch up on when I get home. After lunch, I hung out in the Rivera's apartment while Sofia slept. Watched part of a movie and read a little.
     At 3:45 she awoke, so I handed her off to Uncle Andy (who had just returned from teaching) and went to get ready. We were supposed to head into town at 4, but the bus didn't arrive till 4:45. (Typical Argentinian schedule.) In town, we bought some souvenirs, but mainly walked around with Nicole. When Arturo met us outside a shop, he informed us that we were going to be on TV. ¡¿Qué?! (I doubt I used the correct punctuation...) Anyhow, Nicole led us to the studio where we were introduced to the crew. It's a local show for youth called In Connect. First, Nicole was interviewed, then we students (and Julia) we brought in to be recorded. We were all asked some questions, then filmed seperately stating our names, ages, where we were from, etc... It was cool, except for the whole last-minuteness of it all.
     Afterwards, we students were dropped off at the restaurant across the street for supper. The Riveras were eating at Nicole's. We had a great time; each ordered a pizza, and we shared Sprint and Fanta. The wifi there is good, so we were all able to connect with home. It was nice to spend time as a group. We're all homesick at this point, but at the same time, we're disappointed that our time here is coming to its end.
Tomorrow we head to Iguazú Falls at 6:30am. I can't wait!
