Hello everyone!
Lookee here, I'm writing! Let's see if anyone is still checking back...
I wanted to share my movie with you; for the Middlebury program here in Buenos Aires, we had to make our own movies about some social issue that we experienced. I chose "the Buenos Aires Image (La Imagen Porteña)" and this is what I ended up with. The video is in Spanish, but I think even if you don't understand Spanish, it's a gorgeous work of art that should be admired anyway. So here it is:
I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope to write more in the coming days/weeks/months to try and be a better updater. So don't give up hope on me yet!

Hello my friends! I am a horrible person for not updating in so long, and for not planning to write anything of substance right now, but I've just had this feeling of "ugh, so much stuff is going on, so many pictures are postable, where do I start?" So I thought I would share something that I wrote for the Middlebury Campus, which they just published- the Campus is Middlebury's weekly newspaper, and I have never written anything for it, but they have this section called "Overseas Briefs" which is basically a little article written by a different student who is abroad, and so here in Argentina, at some point I got an email that they sent to all of the students abroad, asking if anyone would like to contribute anything, and I was like, "sure, why not." and then they were like "great, can you get us something by monday?" So I did, and this is the result. (But hmmmph. they took out my favorite line.) Oh, and I was distracted when I saved the document, and saved it as Overseas Briefing (instead of Briefs) and they published it with that title. Anyway, here it is, hopefully you will think positively of it.
Overseas briefing - News
And I guess since I'm here, I might as well put one or two pictures on, even though that's kind of a pain.
this is me, together with my friend Nasti (right) and her two sisters Nina (left) and Shannon (second from left) in Uruguay. It was a lovely trip.
Here are two of my mom's cousins who I met in Uruguay, Deborah and Liliana. They took me on a field trip around Montevideo, showing me stuff like my mom's family's house, and this tree that they're sitting on, where my mom used to take them to play when they were kids.
this is back in Buenos Aires, at my great aunt's Rosh Hashana fiesta last week.
Have a great week, check back soon!

hello everyone!
(although judging from the comments, that would make "everyone" a very small number of people. you guys are horrible at this!)
today i'm going to tell you a little about school. for this semester, i am studying at the universidad de buenos aires, in the facultad (or division) of philosophy and language.
most of the facultad is in one building, on street named "puan", and because of that, a lot of people say "i study at puan," rather than saying "i'm studying at the facultad of filosofia y letras." for me to get to puan, i generally take a bus from right near my apartment, and depending on traffic, it usually takes about 15-20 minutes to get to rivadavia, a very large street that intersects puan at one point. then i walk about 15 more minutes and i'm at my facultad. 
the building is literally plastered with political and other types of posters on the inside and out. the picture to the left here is the outside of the facultad, the wall directly to the left of the picture is the wall you walk along on the street puan until you get to the entrance. to the right, you can barely see some people and blankets on the ground- that's all along the entrance of the facultad, there are always people spreading out their wares on these blankets to sell them to students. jewelery, clothing, knitted accessories, bags, actually pretty much all that stuff is hand-made. also there are always people selling school supplies, coffee, tea, and mate all over the facultad. once you walk along this wall and past most of the blanket-vendors for a minute, you hit the sign, of which there's a picture above, and then you get to the entrance. once you go in, it's still kind of open air, and there are ALWAYS people trying to give you flyers for events or services or concepts. if you decide to go up the stairs that are near the entrance, this is the view you get on the first floor (or as we gringos like to say, SECOND floor): see all the posters and disarray? 
this place is an EXTREMELY stark contrast from middlebury, no doubt about it. posters go ANYWHERE, and they're advertising ANYTHING, and stuff in general is just much less cared for than things in middlebury are. it is hard to find a desk with no gum stuck underneath it, but that desk is still 999 times easier to find than 1 roll of toilet paper in any bathroom in the entire building. not to mention soap to wash your hands. and always in the building, sometimes even in class, people smoke! there is no such thing as "smoke-free" at UBA, apparently. classes in general are HUGE, and it's not all that uncommon for late-comers to class to have to stand in class, because there are simply no more seats left in the classrooms.
my shortest class is 2 hours long, 3 times a week, it's psychology (but it's in the anthropology department. so far ALL we've been talking about is freud and his thoughts on that woman who had a phobia of drinking water because one time she saw a dog drinking out of a glass, and she repressed it and then after she remembered, she was suddenly able to drink, ha, that's old news, i remember that from psych disorders at midd! thanks, professor g!). before i picked my classes, i was considering a class on history of education in argentina and latin america, which seemed very interesting, but if i had continued that, i would have class every thursday for 10 hours straight- psych discussion for 2 hours, then the education discussion for 4 hours, and then the education LECTURE for another 4 hours. i tried that out last thursday and i thought i was hallucinating and had to go home after 8 hours (i don't know how i even made it that long), so i think i've decided to stick with a class on cinema instead- 4 hours lecture, 2 hours discussion, each once a week. hopefully both courses will continue to be interesting, and as i catch up on the reading, i may even (GASP) attempt to participate some. and get laughed at or pitied because everyone will finally realize "hey, she's not from around here...." i'm not going to promise participation yet, though- these classes are HUGE- my psychology class has more than 100 students at the lectures! yesterday in psychology i had to laugh, because no way was even half the class there, and the professor sent out a role sheet for each person to sign in that they attended this class. and every single person in my row before and after me took about 5 minutes with the role sheet, because they were busy forging in the signatures of all of their friends who "couldn't make it" to class that night. and the role sheet took so long to get around the room, some people just spent most of the class period waiting for the role sheet, and as soon as they got it and put down their and their friends' signatures on the page, they booked it- they just walked out in the middle of class.
i guess a lot of the things i mentioned has to do with the fact that being a student at UBA is not something a whole lot of money is invested in. students aren't really paying tuition, so why would the school pay for "unnecessary" things like toilet paper or custodians? and students don't feel as obligated to stay for the entire class period, maybe because they or their parents aren't paying money for their classes? in comparison to middlebury, where i think one of the reasons most kids stay through entire classes is because they or their families are making some kind of monetary sacrifice for them to be able to attend said class? or maybe i'm reading too much into this, and UBA students leave class because they're bored, OR BECAUSE THE CLASSES ARE TOO RIDICULOUSLY LONG! (and they leave to go to the bathroom and never return because it took forever to find toilet paper. or something).
one thing that surprised me was the quality of the professors. with all the other aspects of UBA that i mentioned above, plus with the fact that, from what i understand, professors here get paid VERY little (they usually need to have another job in addition to their jobs as professors). so i would have expected the professors to... well.. suck. but they don't. from what i've seen, they are genuinely interested in what they are teaching, and they seem eager to encourage and help their students understand. and that, in my book, probably in anyone's, is a huge plus. now that i more or less have chosen my classes, i will be approaching the individual professors next week. one very sweet thing about this semester is that i don't have class on fridays! for now that's very cool; next week i will probably be starting my internship, and then i will probably
work on fridays too. but for now, it's a 3-day weekend every week! alright!
i think that you have learned enough about UBA for today, i'm tired now and am going to finish this off with a couple pictures (don't forget you can click on them to see bigger versions). to the left you can see people waiting at the bus stop on avenida rivadavia, sometimes there are many more people who ALL want to get on the same bus as you, which can be a pain. not to mention when the bus is already stuffed to the brim with passengers, so the driver blazes past you as you try to flag him down. the bus system in general is AMAZING here, though, as long as you're getting off and on at the right stops. what i've found is very
helpful is getting on a bus with your map-booklet guide already in your hand, and just following the route that the bus takes. that way, even if you know where you're getting on and off, you can follow along and orient yourself in the city and where you are in relation to other things. or maybe it's just me who enjoys doing that?
in case you haven't noticed, i've finally more or less gotten over my fear of taking my camera out in public with me (i've been worried it would get stolen, what with all the cautionary tales i've been told). (hopefully i didn't just jinx myself.) also, today was a gorgeous sunny day, so i was able to take some pictures in a positive light instead of ugly grayness that has also been pervasive. today i was running a couple errands downtown, and i took this picture of the obelisco. another gawgeous, no dahling? google it if you don't know what it is, or the famous street it's on. i would tell you, but i've decided it's bed time.
tomorrow i'm off to a weekend in montevideo visiting my very good friend nasti from germany- she's been living there with her family for the past couple months, and i am VERY excited to see her; now it's been a few months over a year since i saw her last, it feels like so little, but at the same time, so long since then! so to all of you a very good night and an amazing weekend, hope you're doing well, keep (or start!) commenting!

post #1
hello everyone. you are well, i trust. a little story, if i may: so there i was, going about my day today, checking my email, checking my facebook, and i noticed that joleen (a middlebury classmate) had written me and was wondering how to make a blog. as if i would know? i am not the biggest blog person (kind of an understatement), but i do know that a lot of people use blogger, so i started writing her a message with the link to this site, and then i clicked on it to make sure it worked. it did, and when i got on the page, it showed that i was already partly logged in with my gmail address. i thought, "hey cool, let's see if i try and get in with my gmail password, whether it lets me in." and it did! "well that's neat," i thought. and then it seems i accidentally set up a blog. so here i am, i guess it was a sign, i might as well try it out for a bit and see how often i actually update this thing.
now that i'm on here, i will be giving the link to whoever may want it (yes, including my parents) and i'll try and write about some thoughts, experiences, and in general my time here. also i'll try and put some pictures up on here so you have more of a visual look at how things are going. feel free to pass the link to this blog on, and also- COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT! one of the reasons i am not a blog fan is because i like to have a handle on who i am talking to, and with blogs you just don't know, i think that's kind of lame. but i love to hear from others, no matter who- i don't care if i've never met you, or if you were stalking me on facebook and clicked on this site, talk to me, let me know, i want to hear from you! if you have questions, i will try to answer them here, and if you have comments, i want to hear them! just don't be obnoxious, duh.
another thing- obviously, i prefer one on one contact any day, aka i prefer emails to one person, and then receiving responses, as opposed to writing to an anonymous audience, so if you want a more personal look into things here than this blog will give you, comment with your email address, and i might email you (ha. if i like you, that is.) and if you write back, we can keep going like that. i'm not putting my personal email address on this site because i just got a new one to keep spam away and i don't want to make it any easier for those horrible genital-enlargement-programs or african banks interested in money transfers to find the newest way to contact me.
*ON WITH THE SHOW*
so for those of you who don't know, my name is hannah. i'm just beginning my junior year at middlebury college. oh yeah, i wanted to make this blog visually stimulating, so i'll start that now. here's me at a party at midd. gawgeous, dahling, i know. thank you, thank you.
so anyway. although i attend middlebury, i'm now in buenos aires, argentina, starting off a year abroad. so far i've been having a lovely time. but i know what all of you gossip-mongers want to know- what do i not like about argentina? ok, fine, i'll humor you, geesh.
-it's WINTER! it's COLD! also, i've had a cold since i got here on july 18th- it's now august 19th, you do the math. it's very uncomfortable and i've been doing what everyone tells me to do, but nevertheless it seems that i am doomed to be "that gringa who blows her nose a lot" in this country. oh lordy. hopefully i will get rid of it though, and just in time for some warm weather. preferably sooner rather than later... (i know that in a few months, i'll be whining about how scorching it is here, but hey, that's later, focus on the here and now, please)
-i love being in a big city, and seeing all the different people and places and things, and in my case i have been getting to know all this exceptionally well, because i am always getting lost here. it's not a serious kind of getting lost, just, you know, realizing i'm going up a street when i should be going down it, or getting off a bus a few stops too early or too late, etcetc. this is a negative aspect now only because it's cold, and because it's a pain to get everywhere late. however, i keep telling myself this is only temporary, because as i get to know the city more and more, i will (hopefully) get lost less and less, and the times i DO get lost will be nice strolls because they will be few and far between and it will be warmer as i am attempting to to find my destination. right? RIGHT?
-i'm sure i will have more complaints as time goes on. stay tuned.
what do i like?
-that my spanish is improving. obviously i have lightyears to go still with the language, but just watch, i'll be talking like a porteñ
-that i am getting to know my argentinian relatives. pictures to follow. sorry, i still haven't taken any pictures of la familia, give me some time and i promise i will.
ok this compare and contrast what i don't like vs what i like is getting boring, so now i will change the subject. don't worry, i like more than two things about this place, i just don't feel like writing them all out, i've decided.
so in order to contribute to the visual-stimulation aspect of this blog, i will now take the opportunity to stick in some pictures that i already have of my time here (hint- if you click on the pictures, you can look at bigger versions of them):
these are the other middkids and me in buenos aires; we were at a yale function at the MALBA, a modern art museum here in buenos aires. schicki micki!
this is me after getting made-up argentine-style by my housemate, klaudia. in the background you can see a little bit of our apartment.
this is also me. hello.
this is me together with klaudia (my housemate, on the right) and her friend gaby. if you drink coca-cola, you will always have a good time.
these three are from when i went to tigre, out in the 'burbs of buenos aires with amanda, a middkid in BA, and ashleigh and alethia, two girls from middlebury who are studying abroad in chile for the semester, but came to take a break here in lovely city of buenos aires. in the first photo, you can see ashleigh and alethia's backs, and the second photo is somewhere in tigre, and the third photo is me putting on leg-warmers that i bought in the market in tigre. the market is very well known around the world. and my leg warmers are COOL, even though they keep me warm. amazing how some accessories can retain aspects of both temperatures, isn't it?
as time goes on i will hopefully put photos that show more of the city and time here, but for now this is all i've got. by the way, i forgot to warn you that i tend to write a lot when i write. if this bothers you, i'm not forcing you to read this, although i figure if you've made it this far, it probably isn't bothering you.
i'm going to go now, i hope you enjoyed my first entry, don't forget to tell all your friends, comment, and check back in a few days!
now that i'm on here, i will be giving the link to whoever may want it (yes, including my parents) and i'll try and write about some thoughts, experiences, and in general my time here. also i'll try and put some pictures up on here so you have more of a visual look at how things are going. feel free to pass the link to this blog on, and also- COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT! one of the reasons i am not a blog fan is because i like to have a handle on who i am talking to, and with blogs you just don't know, i think that's kind of lame. but i love to hear from others, no matter who- i don't care if i've never met you, or if you were stalking me on facebook and clicked on this site, talk to me, let me know, i want to hear from you! if you have questions, i will try to answer them here, and if you have comments, i want to hear them! just don't be obnoxious, duh.
