Yeah, I really do enjoy being an engineer. Math and Science are nice and fun. Literary analysis less so. Don't get me wrong, I am really enjoying my classes, and the material is really interesting. I did, however, have to read 120 pages in spanish for my lit class this week. And I'm about 200 pages behind on the reading for my history class (according to the syllabus), since I didn't have the book first week, and I let someone borrow it until last monday (at which point I was trying to get the reading done for my lit class). Good times, definitely.
In other news, I got onto the roof of my apartment building yesterday and last night to check out the view and take some pictures. I'll post those whenever I get around to posting the rest of my pictures. I'll try to do that tomorrow or friday. They're all on my computer, so all I have to do is lug it to a cafe and do what I do. The roof is pretty neat..... I'm in the tallest building on my block, and one of the taller ones in the immediate area. About 16 stories, so nothing ridiculous, but enough for a really nice view. I'd like to get on top of U Belgrano's main building (la torre)... It's about 20 stories or so, and closer to the river so I'm betting the view would be quite nice). The only problem with being on my roof is that there are no guide rails or anything.... It's basically ''unfinished.'' As in not a patio sort of deal. Roof vents and antennae and DirectTV dishes taking up space. And very windy. It was really easy to get up there though.... Took the elevator to the 15th floor, walked up the next flight of stairs to a kind of 16th floor deal (it has some maintenance closets and stuff and what looked like some kind of big open room through a door on one end with some construction materials or something in one corner). Went out one door and up a ladder and there I was. Very nice. Think I'll ask the doorman today if I can get on the roof. So as to find out if it's ''allowed.'' Might have to make a habit of going up there, it's pretty nice to be able to look down on the city and everything going on down below.
