Picture of me and my housemates (I've currently been without rest for almost 2 days).
Main Impression, Overwhelmed:
So this city is huge. Just really, really massive. There are always things happening and there's no way to keep up with it all. I'm glad that my roommates are pretty cool, and that I have someplace decently homely to collect myself in between my ventures outside.
Trying to Make it Work:
The conveniences here are all just a little bit less convenient than in the US. The internet is ungodly slow, and I have to be extremely patient when watching the news and searching for activities and jobs online. Sadly these are the things that I NEED to do in order to stick with my original plan of living here without bleeding money out too quickly. I figure I’ll do what I can, and I’ve heard work is much easier to find around March anyhow (although I’d have liked to have had a chance to travel around South America in that time). Either way, I'll just roll with the punches. Story of my life.
Rumors:
I've talked to a lot of people about places I should go and things that I should see. The people in the house are talking about going to Montevideo or Colonia, and I'd really want to, but I don't know if I should be spending money that freely. Everyone here seems to be on a bottomless budget and most of them aren't even thinking about getting work. Either way, I'm thinking way too much here, and trying to communicate in Spanish is making my brain hurt just a little bit more than I'd like. TIME, I need TIME, but time is money . . . and all that crap.
