My first 24days here in Argentina....!

Hola,
my first 24days have passed and then i thought about doing this blog. Just all of a sudden it came to my mind..:D
In my first 24days I have felt a thousand different feelings which i have never felt before.
1st week: I finaly arrived after 26hours and 3 Stops(Frankfurt,Madrid,Santiago) in Cordoba, Argentina. Of course i was excited to go out there and see my hostmum, but it turned out she wasn't there.....:/ I was quiet lost, but some guys from Rotary were waiting for me. After 10hours in Cordoba i finaly met my hostmum. The first impression was weird, because you know you will stay with her for 3months although you have no idea of who this person is. At midnight we took the bus to Catamarca. After a 5hours ride I was finaly there where I am gonna spend 10months of my life.
I was excited of what is behind this appartmentdoor. The first thing I saw when I opened the door was a 30x40 picture of me. After i had seen all the appartment i was shocked and thought about how can live here for 90 days...? I went to bed thinking about what the hell I was thinking about going to Argentina.
My first week passed quiet fast. I just had the feeling that my mind was still somewhere over the Atlantic, because there are so many impressions and furthermore there is SPANISH. I was sitting there and having no idea of what the hell they were talking about or if they were talking to you.
On wednesday I started going to school. It was a strange and uncomfortable feeling wearing a uniform to go to school. My first day in school was hilarious. First I talked to the director, then some guys from my class took over and introduced me. After my first hour(80min), which was English, I entered my classroom for the first time. All of a sudden 60eyes were looking at me, if I was an alien. The first lesson with my class was the best lesson I have ever had. Everybody is screaming around, a classmate kept on kissing the hand of the teacher and it felt all so different. The second break I was occupied by the other gender. I wanted to go down to the cafeteria, but suddenly 20 girls where sitting on and around my table, so there was no chance getting food.
In the 3rd break I managed to go down to the cafeteria, but in the cafeteria 200eyes were directed on me and about 60hands were touching my hair. The first week passed fast and there was nothing important that happened, except of the delicious asado i had that sunday :D
The second week was fun. I spent most of my time with the other exchange studendts eating ice cream or sitting in a park drinking mate. The weekend in this week was the best weekend in the days I have been here. I stayed over at a friends house and enjoyed every second of not being bored in my appartment. On Saturday I went to a Party and stayed there until 6:30 in the morning. Sunday we just went to the river, where a wasp decided to sting me and create a huge red mark on my belly.
The third week was even more fun than the second one. I tried to be out with my friends as much time as possible, because being alone or bored in the apparment would make think to much and maybe homesick.
The weekend was great, Friday there was a Birthdayparty, Saturday there was another Birthdayparty and then I slept over at a friends house.
Now something about my hostfamily:
I guess my hostmum is trying hard and i think she has a really good conection to me, I can't feel much of a conection to her! I just know that this is not what i want! And those are my reasons: I dont always want to hear the same opinion! I don't want to be alone with a mother! I miss having a father or someone else to talk to in my appartment! I getting upset of being alone at home for hours! I want to integrate in a family! I would like to have activities with my own family and not always do things with other families! I want to be understood! I want to have a hostmum who gives me time with learning Spanish! I want to get out of here, but there are still 40days left! The only positive thing i can mention are:
She is doing a lot for me, which i can not deny. The rules she told me to follow are really okay. I guess that is it.

So this was my first blog of me being in Argentina....:D

To all the guys in Austria i miss you like hell!
To my family thanks for letting me having this experience. :D
To the guys here in Catamarce. I just love you guys. You are great, everyone in his/her very own and special way.

That's it for the moment,
