Getting lost...and then found again.

As you'll notice, there is no post from yesterday. I spent most of the day catching up on sleep and then running around Buenos Aires trying to find a bank that would allow me to take out USD instead of Argentine Pesos and not charge an outrageous fee. Unfortunately, I walked several miles only to find that there is no such thing and miss lunch in the process. As they say, no pasa nada - don't worry! After that, I came home, chatted with friends from home, and prepared myself for Day 1 of my summer job.

So, that brings me to today. I decided to try my luck with my converter and blow dryer and ended up looking worse than when I got into the shower or as though I had put an entire jar of hair gel on my head. Gross! Anyway, it was already time to leave, so I had no choice but to just go with it. I then walked a bit over a mile to work and enjoyed the looks I got for not wearing a coat. I actually ended up taking off my suit jacket because of the heat, even though it was only about 60 degrees around that time. Finally, I arrived at my summer office. I was greeted by some lovely receptionists before speaking with several of the firm's most prominent names. It seemed like every person knew and admired the University of Illinois, probably due to Cabanellas' influence, and, so, I became an instant celebrity. I spent most of the day translating a contract from Spanish into English and distracting my office mate, Justo Segura. He seems like a really great person so far. His sense of humor is very dry and witty, and he likes to ask lots of questions. He received his LLM from the University of Michigan (yes, Muck Fichigan, I know...), and he practiced at a law firm in NY before returning to Buenos Aires. So far, I like everyone. They are all concerned that I have a good time, and I am pretty sure that I will, mostly because of them.

Anyway, I must get some rest for a party that my realtor is throwing for Colombian students that participate in his study abroad program. I'm sure there will be great stories from tomorrow (night).

On that note, besitos and chau!
