Wednesday September 16

My first real day of class was today. But it wasn’t until 4 so I slept in. Ron and I went to the gym before class and then came back for English 380. Latin American literature, but translated into English. Nice! We had so many people in that class that at least 5 people didn’t have anywhere to sit.

After class we had convo. Our RA’s made some announcements and so did Rafa and some other people. A group of friends that give tours of their land in Cordoba. It sounded like a fun trip, you go to the salt flats and ride horses. However, it costs a couple pesos to go, so I’ll see about that investment. Then we all sixty of us went to a restaurant named Kansas. How about that immersion! I definitely enjoyed ordering a coke, steak, salad, and dessert all on Pepperdine’s money!

Later we headed to a place called Soho. One of the old hangout spots closed down, and apparently the owner is now a partner of this Soho place. Rafa gave Cole the contact for this place. So we took a taxi to the cross streets where we were supposed to meet Juan, so he could take us to the place. There was a decent group of us, maybe ten waiting on this corner. Then some shady dude whistles at us from this door at the corner. He invites us into this pretty sketchy looking place. Needless to say, as we walked in I was taking stock of who we were with. I decided that the dudes I was with could take Juan and the couple other people I sized up as we walked in. We walked down into the basement, of this pretty ghetto place. Despite the old, rundown feel of the place, it ended up being pretty cool. Nevertheless, it was the #1 sketchiest place I’ve ever been. But I’m alive!
