Me faltan 2 meses

Today is April 18th and the semester ends in exactly two months, my adventures here in Argentina are coming to an end I cannot believe it. My dream of studying abroad is closing, I have done it, so cool! Last week was a good week besides I was still pretty sick. I have had this freaking cough for two weeks now, ugh! Anyway, so what did I do? I have been spending a lot of time with my friend from Brazil, Tiago. We went to the movies on Friday night and saw Date Night with Tina Fey and Steve Carrell. It was hilarious! But at the same time I hate going to movies like that because they really make me think about the US because the humor is just sooooo from the US and SNL and to me its just really that sarcastic Californian humor. The humor me and Steven and Lauren and Mom and all my friends share. But anyway it was good. Tiago is the sweetest little guy. He is my little brother here. I love it. Well as usual, I have found my gay boyfriend here, Tiago just told me that he is gay, which I kinda already knew...but I didnt want to ask him because its none of my business. But its so funny how I just always have a gay best friend. Maybe it means I need to do something in life with gay rights. Gosh that would be so hard in Latin America, they are just so behind still, I mean we are still behind too. The only place in the world that is ahead of the times really is Holland, they could care less. When I told my friend from Holland that Gay marriage is banned in California, he couldnt understand the concept. He was like what why?
So then also last week I went with my Mercosur class to Congress here in Buenos Aires and we watched a meeting of the Argentine diplomats discussing the argument of what to do about the Malvinas. It was really interesting because I have never been to something so official and so governmental! It really got me to really want to work in the government again. It was really cool! For that class I have to write a paper about integration and something that interests me, Im going to write about the Environmental Problems facing Latin America and how it ties them together and how they work together when it comes to Global Warming or something like that. Not quite sure yet but I got two months to do it ha! In that class I have a really good friend from Canada who is from the French part so its good because she DOESNT speak English. Gosh too many people here speak English. Anyway, I have gotten back to not speaking English so much and my Spanish is back to the level I want it to be at. I only have two months left, gotta take advantage. So, her so name is Coralie and she is a good friend to have here. She lives here with two other girlfriends from Canada and we all get along really well. I actually went to their house last night for Hara´s birthday, one of her roommates. It was really fun! There were Argentines there from the North who played and sang guitar and sang like old folk music from Argentina. The real gaucho music. It was really cool. Everyone was really sweet. And every Argentine that I meet cant believe that I chose to study here, they just dont understand why I would choose their country. Seems like a lot of ppl here dont like it here and want to leave. In fact they really like the US. I guess its like me, I wanted to leave the US and so I did. But now that I have, I realize that I really love my country and it is a great place. I mean Argentina is great too and a good place to learn from and I am greatful for all I have learned here but I really do love California. I think I will live in other places in my life but I will always come back to California, its what I call home. O and yesterday I went with my friend from my girl workout group here and we had lunch and went later on to the house of the English Ambassador. They had an openhouse thing here where you could go and play games and see the house. God it was amazing! There is a tennis court and a pool and there was grass. haha! I havent seen grass in a backyard here in so long. Thats such an american suburb thing.
