Di Tella a.k.a. Escuela de Hijo de !@#$%

Orientation for the Intercambio Program at Di Tella was today. The orientation itself was quite informative and it was a relief to become better aquatinted with some American student alongside some International students. All of the students where incredibly welcoming and charming. The students at Di Tella are another story. There are no better adjectives to describe these group of students other then, snobbish and pompous. It appears that because they are the bourgeoisie of Argentina, that they are somehow direct decedents of God and their shit doesn’t stink. Many of my colleagues and a few workers at IES would agree or have agreed with my statement. I’m sure not all of the students at Di Tella are this way, but the ones I have encountered have definitely portrayed this notion of elitism. Nonethless, Di Tella seems like a fine institution and the professors seem quite open and engaging.

Recién Llegado

So after about 18-20 hours on a plane I’m finally at my home-stay. My host mother who is pretty much the cutest and sweetest thing on this continent made me some food. She ended up conjuring deli meats, condiments and bread alongside something called “Vendi-Creme”. It didn’t turn out half bad. I’m going go sleep for a good day or so. I have class in the morning.
