I woke up around nine after barely sleeping all night on their couch. I went back to my apartment and took a shower. I still had a few hours before I had to go to class, so I tried taking a nap. Around noon, Elsa had company, three of her granddaughters who are all under the age of ten. Let’s just say, the house wasn’t very quiet for someone trying to take a nap. I got up and had my breakfast and headed off to class. I met Bridget on the bus (which was really lucky being able to catch the exact bus she was on. We’re pros at the bus system now! Ha ha).
In our Spanish class we had our “terrible examen” (said our professor). It didn’t really seem that difficult. It only took most of us about thirty minutes to finish, and the rest of the time I laid my head down and rested my eyes before we started talking about our class on Wednesday. The oral part of our exam is then and she gave us the opportunity to practice, or at least discuss what we are thinking about talking about. As far as I can tell, we are going to be given five minutes to just talk…about whatever we want, which is surprisingly more difficult to me then being given a specific topic, lol. I think I might talk about the things I will and won’t miss about Buenos Aires…Thomas gave me the idea and I have a lot of things I could throw into those categories, so if I do, I’ll share with you later!
After our Spanish class we had a thirty minute break before our next class. Yes, we’re still making up all the culture classes we missed, so we had to add two hours of class to our class (which we have to do again on Wednesday). I’ve been enjoying this class, but today it was just so hard to pay attention. I was way tired and had a slight head ache and he started talking about Argentine politics (which are obviously a part of culture), but I couldn’t handle it. I was never so happy to get out of a class (well…other than the politics class…they run close together, lol).
After class, Bridget and I had been planning on going to La Bomba again. It’s our last chance and we were so determined to go…but Bridget has been fighting off a cold and I was so tired…so we decided that we could miss it. I mean, I’ve already gone twice and had two great times, I couldn’t really ask for another time to be better…plus that’s twenty pesos I didn’t have to spend, so that’s another good way to look at it. We went back to my place and hung out for awhile. After she left I just sat around and worked on updates that I was finally able to post. I also posted for photos on Facebook for those of you who are interested.
And…that’s really all of my day. I know, not very exciting…and nothing else to really share. I can’t believe I have less than a week before I go home…how crazy! I have this crazy mixture of emotions…happy and sad being the main ones, lol. I miss my friends and family like crazy, but I am definitely going to miss the relaxed, laid back life of BA. I am going to have to go back to work and responsibility and…life, lol. Here, I can basically ignore the fact that my bank account is dwindling and that I have a life where I do my own laundry and make my own breakfast and my own bed! Ha ha…but I’m sure I’ll adjust back pretty well…or else my parents will make sure that I do! =)
Sigh…goodbye for now. More updates to come! (How crazy that there’s only five more BA updates left for you guys to read…please stop rejoicing those of you in the back, you know you’ll miss me!)
As always, un beso!
