Today was the first day that I went to the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo. We didnt have any official classes today; instead we had an orientation with the Argentine program director. I'm really excited about all of our weekend excursions that we're going to take- there's only one weekend where there isn't one planned.
My first two full days in Mendoza were good, but kind of hard. One of my friends had told me that I would become pretty frustrated during the first week with the language barrier. Maybe I'm less patient than she is, but I became frustrated within the first two days. I felt bad because I really wanted and still want to converse with my host family, but right now I'm very limited in my ability to do so. It also seemed that by the end of the second day both my host mom and host sister were kind of frustrated with me. Today was better though, probably because I spent about 7 hours at school.
Tomorrow we are going on a tour of the city, which I'm really looking forward to
