Long time no see

Sorry friends and family, Dad, haha! I havent written in so long. I just wasnt really having anything too interesting to write about. My weeks are quickly coming to an end here. I have 5 weeks left in school and 6 weeks until I come home o my gooodness! Time to come home and speak English once again, itll be so weird! So lately, things have been going really well and I have been having a lot of fun. I also have been studying a bunch too though! I finally dont have to use a dictionary when I read and definitely when I talk, I have learned how to either just explain the word and then figure it out or most of the time I just know it and then pronounce it wrong or sometimes if Im lucky I pronounce it right haha. So what´s left for school? Well, I get my Macroeconomics midterm back tomorrow night and if I didnt pass I have a second chance to take it on the 31st, then I have my final on the 28th, then for Mercosur I have to write a paper about Integration and Global Warming in Latin America and my final for that class is the 1st of July. Then for Globalization I have just my final because I passed my midterm so I dont have to do anything special for that. I believe all I have to do is write a one page paper and talk with the professor about what I wrote about and thats it. Thatll be on the 15th of June so in one month that´s nothing! That teacher loves me anyway because I actually read the newspaper and know history on Argentina and it helps that I have lived here for the whole year and actually know the politicians that he complains about. haha! Yesterday was Buddha´s birthday and I went to my friend Cinthia´s temple and celebrated, it was really nice. I believe I will be going back to the temple on Saturdays to do some meditation with them. The Argentines who are Buddhist really remind me of my friends in Sacramento, especially all my yogi buddys. Guess being a yogi and practicing eastern spirituality when you are not Asian makes you act similiar no matter where you are. I love it, it makes me feel at home because ppl here sometimes dont understand my diet nor my love for yoga and think Im just doing it for exercise when it actually is something so much more. O and Friday I went with my buddy Coralie to go dancing which was amazing and super Argentine because as usual we didnt get home until 6 am haha. which is early! We walked home and saw a Transvestite Prostitute get into the front seat of a cab and then later a taxi driver with his pants down peeing on the side of the road and then a bunch of nuts doing other things. The morning hours of Argentina are crazy. Anyway, it was a good night, I am REALLY going to miss Coralie. She is sooooooo fun! and she loves to walk and study and I dont know I just really love her and her two friends also. And I love that she HATES to speak English too, we always speak Spanish even though she speaks English because she is Canuk but French Canuk. Anyway, Im going to visit her when she gets home in January and of course I will force her to come to Sacramento and ride bikes with me. Well, today Im going to meet my Argentine friend for lunch and then a walk to the Planetarium, Im going to try and convince her to go to the MALBA because they have a Cuban Art exhibit going on right now. O and on Friday morning I will be in Brasilllllllllll until Tuesday night! YEAH! Itll be fun! Gotta get caught up on some Portuguese before I go hahaha. Im not as good as I wanted to be but I guess when i get home I can practice more since i wont be so confused with Spanish and Portuguese when I live in California.

Well loves! I love you all and I cant wait to see your shining faces! Its almost been a year can you believe it?????
