leo...

the last three months, at home in germany were really wonderful. meeting new people, hanging out with friends, going out and having a great time really made me think about how I´m going to leave. i felt like really not wanting to go, accually. the afs weekends always kind of helped me, finding sense in what i am doing and what i accually want. Back in march, there was a midstay exchnage in karlsruhe, where i live. ernesto, a kid from bolivia stayed at our house and we had a really good time. in the group, there were several other kids, boys and girls from pretty much all over the place. back then i already knew for shure that i would be going to argentina. thats the funny thing about afs students. we all have this little something in common, in a way we are all really similar, although we are very different. leo and I, a guy from brasil, spendt a lot of time together. leaving is always hard for me, saying goodbye sucks, and having to say goodbye to him was way harder for me, than i thought. accually I´ve been thinking a lot about him in the last days. i was thinking what he felt when he went to a new place, needing to find new friends and stuff. now, i am pretty close to where he lives and were thinking of getting to see eachother sometimes. i am happy that he is there for me, we talk once in a while and all in all, now that I´m here, i just know that i am doing the right thing.
get back to you! anna

buenos aires!

Finally here! I arrived in buenos aires early friday morning, after a really long 13 hour flight. ulture shock hasnt been as huge as I thought it would be. From what i saw, I cant really say buenos aires is pretty- its pretty ool though. Us AFSers got brought into a welome camp right outside buenos aires- we stayed for two days, had first argentinian meat, a talentshow, met a lot of people from all over the world and really didnt sleep a lot. I still am jetlacking a bit, its fine though. At first, I thought there werent too many dark haired people, but at the busstation, i felt pretty awkward with my bleached blonde hair. Right now, we are at the busstation in buenos aires, in a VIP room. The busstation is like as big as our whole trainstation in germany, and it is a little different. We have WiFi here, but my battery is running low and I was wondering how long this still lasts. Now its almost nine in the morning, we stood up at six and our bus to pergamino will be arriving at about 11. I'll meet my family then, and I really am a bit exited already. 

I'll get back to ya soon, after getting new information :) anna 

things getting real- finally.

saying hello to one thing means seying goodbye to others. It's finally summer again, the sun came out. Finally, now things are getting real for me, I was waiting too long.
noticing what i'm accually giving up here, at home is getting pretty clear, and I dont know If I like it. Sitting at my window right now, I kind of am just hoping to get enough sleep tonight.
I decidet to go to a yoga class tomorrow morning, so I wont sleep out too long. my mums going to greek tomorrow for a week and i'll spend the week, doing my checklist of things i still need to do before accually leaving.
I dont have much to say anymore, i think all is said for now, i hope my mind blackout will kind of leave me alone,.
I guess I'm just tired and a little frustrated, and maybe even scared, that sound weird?
Good night....
