I am in Bahia Blanca teaching in a school called Colegio del solar. It is a bilingual school. My first day here was a blur because of how tired I was. I had just arrived back in Buenos Aires from Necochea and was ready to sleep when i received a call saying that I had to leave straight away and get a taxi to the bus station and then get a bus down to Bahia Blanca. When i arrived to the station I was greeted by a teacher from the school and brought to the school to meet the headmaster. But I got dropped in at the deep end and had to teach a class that day. I basically spent the class half asleep. But after school I finally got to go home to my host family and sleep. When I woke up I had dinner with the family and was feeling right again. And from that moment on what can I say. It has been an amazing experience. I quickly got set up with a rugby team called Nacional that have really been good and have taken me under their wing. We start a new competition on the 24th and I can't wait to get stuck in. The kids in the school are great although I am still getting used to the amount of affection they show and their obsession with me not having a girlfriend which seems to be an alien concept to the people of Argentina. The nights out are fantastic and the gym I have joined is also full of the most friendly people I have ever met. Basically it has been one of the most exciting and greatest experiences of my life to date and I hope it keeps getting better. But as much as I love meeting all the Argentinians and getting to know them, I still miss home like crazy and above all the people I have met in Argentina my irish/american creeps still hold the highest place. That is not putting the people from Argentina I have met here down, it is just putting the group of creeps up. But all in all, I couldn't be having more fun.
