Dogwalkers

Here, there are always people in the street walking about 10 dogs, or there are bunch of dogs tied up in the parks. Normally dogs don't bark alot, except for when there are a bunch of them in the park. There is also dog doodoo in the street so you have to watch out. I am curious as to how people let their dogs out, since there are no woods around. One cool thing that I have seen are people "walking" their dog without a leash or anything. The dog just walks right beside them, I don' t know how they do it. Comet would definitely not be able to do that. He'd bark at everyone, and get distracted and well, we can barely get him to follow us with a leash. They also don't neuter their dogs, so there are a bunch of strays. Someone told me that Argentines think that it is against a dog's right to neuter them. So that's definitely different than home.

Classes for me are set up very differently and I don't like it. I am taking 5 classes. All of them except for one are only once a week! But they go for 2-3 hoursssss. I can't handle the hour and fifteen classes we have at home! My spanish for international students happens twice a week, but it's 3 hours each time! It isn't too bad though because we do a bunch of different activities. So that class and my art class are my favorites. The other 3 (History of Spain, Spanish Literature, and Argentine Liturature) not so much, because it is just so much reading. Also, did I mention that there are no syllabi. I finally have a programa for each of those 3 classes, but they only say the themes covered in class, no schedule or dates of tests or papers or anything. But, now I'm getting the feeling that we don't have any tests, and that I'm going to have to turn in a huge paper for each one at the end of the semester. But of course, I'm not sure, I'm in a constant state of confusion!
