Only 7 more weeks of school now I cant believe it. I know all my finals dates now so now this dream is really coming to an end. I have one on the 15th, one on the 28th, the 30th, then the 1st. Im not sure right now of the one on the 30th so until Im sure I cant say when I will be home exactly but Im thinking of taking a flight if available on the 1st and be home by the 2nd. awww sad but happy all at the same time. Im really starting to feel like I live here in Buenos Aires but I cant stay forever, I have things I still need to do there in Sacramento and the US as a whole. well all my classes are going really well, I do need to do some more work on Portuguese because I have been focusing too much on my Political Science classes which is good but I would love to be able to speak a decent Portuguese some day in the future. O my! Last week I had to in my Macro class do two really embarrassing things. First off, we were in groups so I had to say my name in front of the whole class in order for the teacher to write it down on the paper for the group. Rachel Barry is a real touch name for a Latino hahahaaaaaa! I was definitely the foreigner in that moment. I had to spell it out o my gosh I was so embarrassed. Then I had to explain the mulitplying factor of an equation and how it affects consumption from year to year. I was nervous and shaky. O well its over! Atleast now I have spoken my Spanish infront of them. Its ok whatever, I gotta speak Spanish in front of natives later on soooo...might as well do it now, in a professional atmosphere. So what else? O the guys are moving! Tito got a job in the south, almost to Ushuia the culo del mundo, the ass of the world. Its like a days drive to get there from the capital. He is leaving in 15 days to set up base and see how the city is, then Cris will follow him in about 3 months, after I leave, and go find a job and such. They are going to live there for a year or so and save up money because it is double the pay. Tito told me here he loves his life but he cant enjoy it because he works soooo much. So if he has the chance of being able to save up some money, he is going to take it. o but now i have to say goodbye to him in 2 weeks! Im so sad. I made him a scarf for the cold. Its freaking freezing in the south! They will be soooooo close to Antartica! eeek! But its good, I was going to have to say goodbye sometime right? Then yesterday I said goodbye to my Taiwainese friend who is from here but moved to Taiwan 10 yrs ago and came back to visit her parents. I met her in my portuguese class. She is leaving today, we spent the day together, her, me and Eli an argentine girl. We walked around San Telmo and were being real nerds drinking mate and looking at all the stores with all the antiques. Eli´s boyfriend says that she loves all the crap in those stores, all the stuff that is unusually small. hahaha. O man she is a good friend and a neighbor too. And her boyfriend lives in another city, so she is in the same boat as me. Shes a good person to have here in the city when you get lonely or just want to chat. What else? Nothing much...things are coming to a close. Im going to see if I can make it up to Brazil before I head out of here because I really want to go and who knows if I will have the chance to later on or in the near future....later on yes but now would be better.
Anyway, love you all!
Chau chau!
