Llegada - Arrival


Hola mis familias y amigos!  After too much time sitting down I finally arrived to the beautiful campus of the UAP - Universidad Adventista del Plata and greeted by my two very nice roomates who happen to be brothers.  Getting settled was a little hard since neither speak any english, but with broken spanish I got to know them pretty well.  The campus is pretty diverse; lots of people from all over Sud America as well as Germany and other places.  This first week is only orientation and after a placement test, we begin classes next week.  Even though in the surrounding village where the "supermarkets" are "super" small, it's still possible to find most everything necessary to survive; although the first have of the pack of ACA kids wiped all the "supermarkets" clean of clothes hangers...  Oh, and the other major detail is, there are tons of dogs and pidgins... keep a constant eye on the sky, of course with your mouth shut tight.
