Dia 45, Class, Therefore I reward myself with a movie! 31 de julio

Well, since the program decided to finally make up our Culture classes that we’ve been missing, I had to go to school today, which wasn’t the most fun thing to do considering the fact that I was out so late. But what are you going to do about it? That’s right…I sucked it up and went to class, and sat through another long Guillermo Bustinduy culture class. At least he’s an interesting professor, or I don’t think I’d be able to handle it.

Seeing as how I am typing this up a few days after the fact, I can’t exactly remember what all I did on Friday…I know I went home at some point after class and Serri and I watched some more lame television shows on her computer. But at least they keep us entertained right?

After she left to go have dinner with her program, Bridget and I tried to make it to the 10:45 showing of Public Enemies at the cine close to my house. Sadly, the buses were running slow, like they do, and Bridget and I weren’t able to make it on time, so we went ahead and bought a ticket to the next showing, which just happened to be at 12:50…am. Lol… the cine is the same one I went to with Serri on Wednesday, and its right next to the Recoleta Cemetery. Across from the cemetery there are restaurants, bars, boliches, and of course…a Freddo. So of course Bridget and I decided to spend some time there. As we were walking there, we passed this boliche called Sahara and there was a worker standing outside in safari-like garb. He had the safari hat and the brown shirt and pants. It was pretty funny. He started talking to us, trying to convince us to go to his boliche. Within two seconds of talking to him he told me that he loved me and tried dancing tango with me. Bridget and I were laughing so hard. After awhile he moved on to her and told her he loved her as well. Although I guess we could have assumed he was creepy, he was really funny and was just having a fun time, since it was apparently his job to get people to go into their bar. We had other plans, and left him after some talk and some more “dancing”, but it was a great start to our evening.

Next up was Freddo where we split a large triple flavored ice cream. We got frutilla (strawberry), dulce de leche con brownie, and chocolate suizo (my new favorite). And as always, it was wonderfully delicious. We sat outside for awhile before getting too cold, then we moved inside and Bridget read from the book that my host mom gave me. It’s called “Hide this Spanish Book” and has all sorts of street slang that is used in many Latin American countries. It’s not “proper” grammar so there’s a warning to keep it away from Spanish teachers, lol. It’s pretty funny and Bridget had a good time reading out loud from it.

We had a little over an hour to kill after Freddo, so we went back to my house (which is about four blocks, not too bad) and watched YouTube videos and just hung out until it was time for the movie. The movie was really good…and really long. Well, maybe almost two and a half hours isn’t long for movies anymore, but that late at night…it definitely was! I still enjoyed it. We got out a little after three and I waited with Bridget at her bus stop before walking the couple blocks back home. And then…bed early again! I went to sleep around 4:00… ending a basically wonderful day! =)

More later…un beso!
