School Day Two

Yowzer, is this the life of leisure I was promised? Two days of lessons and I’m knackerd! It’s only 4 hours a day but gosh it’s intense. At the moment we’re still recapping and any hope I had of things slowing down today were not realised... pacey pacey pacey. I’m not sure at what point she’ll bring it back to a pace that means I’ll retain anything! It’s almost funny. Still good fun though.

I’m finding I have to do quite a bit of work at home to recap what we’ve learnt before the next lesson. Although I'm finding it quite stressful, I am enjoying it. We did a lot of talking today which was cool. The "party" is def over though, no going out during the week I don't imagine!

After school we came home and had lunch. I’m heading out to meet a friend shortly, Maxi, the guy I met last week. Should be good. I might try and get him to speak Spanish to me a bit to me, or at least let me do that to him!

We’re having glorious sunny weather at the moment, I hope it stays like this.

While digging around I came across this interview that Time did with Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner in September 2007, before she was elected. It has some interesting quotes in it, and two in particular caught my attention and gave me pause for thought. You can't be a capitalist only when there are investment profits but then a socialist when you experience losses. and We're not averse to capitalism. But if they used to say, "Workers of the world unite!" then we also say today, "Capitalists of the world, assume your social responsibility!" I'm intrigued by both of these ideas. The former mainly because I it reminds me of the UK government bailing out failing mortgage lender Northern Rock earlier in the year and the recent US...

Yesterday Chris and I took a long stroll. Along the way we came across and area (just near Abasto) with thousands of shops selling store manequins. It was very strange indeed. In this city it seems that stores of a type seem to be located in the same area... all medical supplies in one place, all wool shops in one place and now these.
