Hi, I'm Anna and I am living as an exchange student in Cordoba. Argentina.
I am living with a family and attending school here. I arrived July 18th and have been loving every minute of my stay here!
I can't belive that I have to leave so soon! I have been having the time of my life, trying new foods, going to new places, and experiencing a new life.
This blog as been set up for my family and friends so that they can see all the crazy adventures I have been having here

a package can brighten up a rainy day : )

Yesterday was the only sunny day all week. Today it started to rain again. I recieved a slip in the mail the other day, saying that i had to go to the post office to pick up a package. I had no idea from who, but i had a pretty good idea. The post office here isn't nearly as effeciant as the post office in the United States. It is open from 8:30 am to 12, monday through friday.

So i went with a friend at 11 and we took a number, we waited until 3:30 before we were able to get the package. It wasn't like there were alot of people either. It is just a LONG proccess. You get your number, you wait, you get called, (or you get skipped like us) then they look for our box, and you wait more, they find it bring it out, you wait more, then they check that its your box, then they open it (i think to make sure there isnt anything illegal) but they open the box and the stuff in the box, then you have to show your docuemnts (passport or other identification) to another person, then you go to anther person, and show all the papers, then pay that person, and then... you get to take your package home.


Thank you grandma for everything. I really appreciate it!!


Today is a friends birthday, not sure what we are going to do yet, its only 9 pm. still alot of time to decide!
