So, I got up semi early which I wasn’t too excited about seeing as how I had gone to bed so late. I had my normal breakfast and started working on some homework and my updates as well. Right before I was about to leave for class, I got a phone call from Luciana (our coordinator at Expanish) who told me that our class was cancelled (again) because our professor was still sick. I felt bad for the profe, but was still pretty excited because…well, it is my summer vacation and I don’t know what I was thinking agreeing to all this class business. =) So, I called Bridget who had already left for school (she lives farther away) and since the school is close to my neighborhood, she decided to come over and hang out for awhile. I made some coffee (yes, I did, with her help of course. It wasn’t as good as Elsa’s coffee I have every morning, but it was decent) and we uploaded some photos for her and then I allowed her to look at my paper for Politics.
Now, I mentioned yesterday it was terrible…I wasn’t kidding. =) Bridget was like, “Um, maybe I wouldn’t say that…” and she helped me work through a lot of it and gave me some new ideas that I would have never thought of seeing as I don’t think economics or politics as much as Bridget does. So thank you, Bridget! =)
Bridget left after awhile to go meet with some Expanish students to go to La Boca. I got more ready for the day and went to meet Derek and Greggory for some Freddo. Last night, Derek asked me if I had any plans today, and I did at the time because I thought I had class. But since class was cancelled, I was free, so I texted him and we made plans to meet up. I was excited because it was Greggory’s first Freddo experience and he thought it was it too! Just spreading the Freddo love…
After hanging out with them for about 30-45 minutes, I went back to my apartment where I am now sitting typing this out. I have finally caught up with all my blogs and am quite proud of myself! I went to Coto (a huge grocery store, it makes me think of…Wal-Mart and Sears, minus the clothes…because they have food, drink, and like, a HUGE entertainment section. But that’s all, strange huh?) with Serri. It was a lot of fun. When we got there, there was a lady giving out samples of whiskey which I thought was hilarious, but no, we didn’t get any.
Now I am just waiting on the evening to go by. We (as in Bridget and I) have been planning a night out! I am pretty excited. Meaghan (from Expanish) might go, as well as Derek and Greggory and who knows who all else will come out. It should be a fun night. We are all actually planning on going to a boliche as opposed to a milonga; although I am pretty sure that a few of them are going to do both. We’ll see! More to come later tonight…
The next day…
Well, I had the best night ever I am pretty sure. Bridget and I met up with Meaghan, Eric and a few other people from Expanish at a bar to hang out before the club. The club doesn’t even get good until about one or two, so we showed up around there. There was a line outside the club, and so we had to wait for awhile to get it. I had to wait outside for Derek to show up, but luckily we were able to find the crew once we got inside.
When I walked in, I seriously thought we were thrown into one of those B dance movies, like “Step it Up”. There is a huge dance floor that was crowded with people and there was an open circle in the middle where people were break dancing. It was a pretty great atmosphere. There were so many people and since this was basically my first club experience, I was definitely excited. After we went to coat check, Derek and I moved to the dance floor where we found the rest of our group dancing. And then, that is where we began our three hour long dance session. Yes, you read that right. We danced for three hours – straight! No stopping, no water breaks (which wasn’t the smartest decision, but I survived!) And it was so much fun! I mean, yes, part of the time I was hoping I didn’t look ridiculously stupid, but then everyone else was just dancing and having a good time as well, so it was easy to just put that idea in the back of my head and have fun! By the end of it all, I was so wiped out. My legs were tired, I was tired…we finally left the club around 5 ish in the morning (and the club was still going too, it definitely wasn’t closed! Lol).
After the club, Derek and I met Greggory and Meghan and their apartment and had breakfast! He made peanut butter and jelly tortilla sandwiches which were wonderful (especially after a three hour work out) and I had quite a few glasses of water… I was so thirsty!
A little after six, Derek walked me to the bus stop and I headed home! It’s so funny because, after a certain time in the morning, you can just look around and see those people that are up for work, and those people going home after a night of clubbing. I felt safe walking the three blocks home too, because there were people out and going about their day to day business.
Over all, it was definitely the most fun night I’ve had since I’ve been here. There’s a girl in the program who leaves on Saturday, so everyone is thinking about going out Friday night to celebrate. I’m still pretty tired, but we’ll see…two nights in a row?! I don’t know if I can handle it! Lol…
And that was my wonderful day! I will write more later, as always!
Love you and miss you!
