Decisions..

Do I stay here or go? Buenos Aires or Santiago? Argentina or Chile? Since the earthquake in Chile, I have been staying with Coti's family and went to the first day of orientation for IES Buenos Aires. They have invited me to stay in Buenos Aires and after emailing with UPS I have found out that they will accept Spanish credit from the courses here in Buenos Aires. I just finished talking with my parents, who before knowing I would get credit from Buenos Aires thought I should stick with Santiago, but now they are ok with either decision.

In the end I am staying in Buenos Aires, so maybe I should change the title of my blog? I finally decided that staying in Buenos Aires is easier and I want to have a more relaxed and fun time while abroad. Chile right now and even Santiago are in a situation that may affect people for a month or so. I dont want to be selfish or anything, but I dont know, it just seems easier to stay in Buenos Aires and deal with a country that has not been hit by a natural disaster than go to Chile. It would obviously be quite the experience, being able to volunteer, etc. However I also do not think IES would allow me to volunteer in the conditions right now, with riots and the army replacing the nonexistent police force.

So instead of here I come Santiago, I'm staying Buenos Aires y Argentina. Nos vemos manana. Un beso.
