Argentina and Me

I got off the plane, I got on the plane. The brief eternity in the middle was enjoyable

These two first months have gone by fast, in the sense that they are over and I am now in the present. Everything seems fast after its over. And I still have four more long yet brief weeks left. If you know what I mean.

Here's the deal. I'm in Buenos Aires and I am working at a pointless internship and taking pointless classes. But the most important part of what I just said is that I am in Buenos Aires. Just being away gives a whole new perspective and way of life. It's something I am finding very hard to express. When someone asks me what I did here and what my favorite part was. What do I say? Being there?

I got a sense of what life is like in another place. And I have traveled places before, lots of places really and nothing has been as different as this. Living for three months in a giant south american city has been eye opening really. I have found my passion for planet earth and found motivation to do something. I can understand another way of life and I also really think I am supposed to do something important. I couldn't have asked for anything better.

However, I will inevitably get the question, "What was your favorite part?"
I will have to come up with a response by the end of this trip.

I also say "I" a lot.
