Misa Mascovich Buenos Aires, Fall 2011

I am Misa Mascovich. Originally I am from the small town of Grand Junction, Colorado. I am a rising junior at Santa Clara University where I am studying Communications with a film emphasis and International Business. I love movies and spend much of my free time learning about film as much as possible. When I am not watching movies, I am either traveling, being active, or catching up on a good book. I am excited to go to Argentina and have the opportunity to be completely immersed in the culture. I cannot wait to work on my Spanish, eat the great food, and explore the streets of Buenos Aires.

  My time in Buenos Aires ended two weeks ago and after spending a week more traveling around in Argentina I am now back in the states. I have yet to encounter reverse culture shock, but there are a few aspects of Argentine life that I wish I could take back with me here in the states.

  There is only one week left in the program and although I am excited to see my friends and family, I do not want to leave Buenos Aires. This week made me especially realize how much I will miss this city that never sleeps when I had two separate meals that made Buenos Aires feel like home.

  Unlike back home where Halloween means having a different costume every night regardless of age, watching really freaky movies, and going to haunted houses, in Argentina, Halloween is primarily for kids.

  You know those moments where you pause and realize that you are having a once in a lifetime experience, and you look around you and instead of being in a reality, for a moment, it’s like you are living out your own personal movie? That essentially describes my entire week spent in Patagonia.

  Spring is all around in Buenos Aires. And although it is welcomed, it is also a strange sensation to be celebrating spring in the beginning of October.

  Buenos Aires is a great place to explore art through the many museums and galleries that cover the city, but if you want to get a real feel for the art culture, the streets art and graffiti is the place to look.

  Since coming to Buenos Aires I have been making an effort to get up, go out, and see things in person rather than on a screen. I can watch movies anytime, but the city is only mine for a short time.
