whoa baby, now I´m home

We took our first exam today. It was a stresser before the class began since we had no idea what to look for in our text book. Apparently they don't believe in telling you test format or in giving reviews or a study guide here. That is something strictly U.S. of A-esque. In any case, I think I survived it... we'll see after dinner if I don't think of something I forgot and go, "CRAP!" keel over and die of a stress-attack. I think that is a million years away from happening since, just this afternoon I was discussing the incredible differences between how our universities work here and I think the words I specifically used were, "slack" and "bull-s#*t" to describe the Argentine system. Some days I sit and have to revel in the extensive organization of my country, and I think when I do finally start participating in that system again I won't say a word ever again about how much paperwork there is to fill out on forms, requests, data entry, major purchases and simple returns, basic necesities require PAPER. Today, our test was four questions scratched on the black board. That is what I call preservation of resources!
