9:00 a.m. Wake up because we have class. Fortunately for me, as an international student, my class is in my house, so I tend to wake up at around 9:20

9:30-12:30 a.m. Class with Profesora Elvira or Dr Rall (Depending on whether or not you're studying the advanced tract or the intermediate). Class is entirely in Spanish in order to help the immersion process

12:30 p.m. Lunch! Lunch and breakfast are delivered to us at our house from an amazing Venezuelan restaurant.

1:30-3:00 p.m. Class with Cristina or Dr Rall. We have class with Cristina Mondays and Fridays and class with Rall Wednesdays and Thursdays.

3:00 p.m. Nap time! Well, technically free time. The advanced students walk to the University at this point for another class but in a couple weeks, the intermediate students will have class at this time. Around this time, we like to relax, watch some Uruguayan Netflix (they have really good shows and movies), go walk around the city, or take a siesta.

4:30 p.m. On Tuesdays, a couple of us go to the University for a dance class. It's hip hop mixed with salsa, cumbia, and other Latin American dance styles.

7:00 p.m. The advanced students are home and we tend to congregate in the kitchen and talk about everything. Usually, at least one person is making something for dinner. If we are itching to get out of the house, or if it's a weekend, we will begin planning what we are going to do that night.

8:00 p.m. On Sundays, we have worship together.

9:00 p.m. After planning our night, we move towards the downstairs study room/class room and work on our homework (ugh). There is an app called PedidosYa that delivers food from restaurants all over the city, so if we haven't eaten yet a few people will order Pedidos.

10:30 p.m. On weekends, this is around the time when we start getting ready. A few of us go to the upstairs bathroom and jam out to music while putting on makeup and getting our hair ready. We also exchange clothes depending on where we are going. On weekdays, we are still in the study room or the kitchen talking, or maybe watching a movie. Some week days we go out to dinner around the time (believe it or not, the prime time for dinner in Montevideo is 11- 11:30).

12:30 or 1:00 a.m. Leave to go out! This is actually an early time to go out here. Everything begins about 2 hours after its supposed to. At Contutti (the name of the house), we have a weekend curfew of 2am but if we know we are going to be out late we will ask Diego, our host.

4:00 or 5:00 a.m. Arrive back at the house and talk and get ready for bed. Luckily, it is a weekend so we get to sleep in- for a little bit at least. Again, this is an early time to come home.

I have been living in Uruguay for a month now, and I cannot begin to describe how amazing it has been. I have already learned so much about the culture, the language, and myself. I can't wait to spend 3 more here!
