último dia de la facultad!

So today is my last day of school o my gosh! I´m all done after tonight, well besides having to study all next week for the final on the 28th. I already turned in my term paper via email because my professor is out of the country so we dont have class tomorrow. As of 10 pm tonight I will oficially be on summer vacation with one final to take eeeek! Unless I do awful on my term paper but I actually am pretty proud with what I wrote. My friend who corrected it last night told me that is was really good and that I´m an amazing writer in Spanish, there were only stupid little errors that I probably wouldve made in English as well. Its always prepositions that are the hardest for anyone and a foreign language, there just arent any rules. Anyway, so yesterday was such an amazing day! I just had a really good day. I woke up, went to class, where I dont have to see that awful negative teacher anymore thank god! Got my grade, 8 or A yay! And then went with Coralie to meet up with Tiago to watch the Brasilian futbol game. I was wearing my Brasilian tshirt and all the guys were going crazy. Argentines love Brasilian girls, it was hilarious. Everyone tells me I look Brasilian because Im colorful and beautiful lol. O well whatever o and the legs, Argentine girls have little stick legs and Brasilians have legs more like me. Anyway, then I went to my yoga class and afterwards met up with my girlfriend so that she could correct my paper which turned out to be an amazing help because I never wouldve thought to change my paper the way she did gramatically. Then we walked together and chatted about life to the bus stop. She is an amazing girl, she is from here but started learning English at 4 so she is basically native in both languages. However, I just never speak English here and she always says to me Boluda you freaking speak Spanish so well, I feel like Im talking to a native. I love it. Anyway, then I got on the bus and this city is so strange, I saw my friend from the gym on there at 2am and she was with her best friend, we chatted for a bit and some girl overheard that i was from California and said o I really want to go there! Its been my dream forever. And she was a little out there, honestly kinda goofy. SO I said well where in California? She said o I dont know i just love it all. I said well its a big state, lots of different places you could go and its completely different everywhere. She asked where i was from, so I decided to quiz her haha, so I said well its the capital do you know where the capital is? she said LA and then i made a joke saying nope you failed you cant enter california. haha. it was funny. I made a joke in Spanish, im back to my old whitty self, something I couldnt be in the beginning of my adventure here because of my lack of complete fluency in Spanish. But now look at me Im back I feel great! I speak two languages like they were equals. Anyway then today i helped out a girlfriend with her English, she read to me and I corrected her pronunciation, she actually read really well. Argentines are great! They are so eager to learn more than one language. I wish we were more like that. But i guess thats what makes me unique. Then I came home and started packing up my summer clothes since Im freezing my ass off here. I also threw away all the old junk that I dont need, school work, old papers, etc. I have one suitcase all packed. I know I still have two weeks to go but Im just soooooooo excited and i know its going to just fly. I mean 50 weeks flew by like a flash, whats two more? Well, Im going to get ready for my last classssssss! Yay! Tomorrow at 830am is the Argentine game, Im going to try and get up for it, we will see lol.
Chau all, see ya in two weeks, Im so ready for California summer weather. Im soooo cold!

O and I have almost finished my scrapbook, just the despedida and the salida left to fill but those havent happened soooo....yeah, chau!

Una obra espectacular!

Well I have finished my final term paper for the semester. All I have left to do is my final in Macro on the 28th and I am dunzoooo. WOw my term paper was super hard and detailed. I am looking it over now but I think all in all its going to turn out great. Besides the teacher isnt even going to be in class on the last day and we are emailing them to him. I take it this class doesnt really matter to him..anyway, thats how it goes here in Argentina. Good education with teachers who expect so much out of you but dont go to class. Anyway, nothing else. Tonight I went to see a show at the theatre that Cris works at, it was amazing! It was called Cariño, which means honey in Spanish. It was super crazy and spectacular! I cant explain it! It was just soooo cool! There we two guys, with amazing physics, one was a ballet dancer and the other was some sort of dancer but I dont recall, anyway freestyle dancer, doesnt matter and then a girl who had this most amazing voice. It was just really interesting. They acted sooooo I dont know emotional and inspiring, then when they were acting they were doing all of these strange things like screaming at each other, and speaking 3 different languages perfectly at once, then rubbing each other like a Madonna Vogue video. Everyone got naked on stage. Then the ballet dancer, male btw, walked around the stage for 5 minutes on his tiptoes with his ballet shoes doing all sorts of interesting and amazing things. Did I mention his legs? They were so defined! And all three had voices that were so amazing! It was definitely a show I will never forget and yes it was not anything normal, very underground theatre with lots of sex and sensuality and very very very good monologues. It was amazing that´s all I can say, enough said. Anyway, so I have three days of school next week then I have a week to study then the week after I have finals and chauuuuu! Off to USA, o my goodness! wow its really happening, its really ending. I cant sleep at night because my mind is turning in circles! Its going 100 miles per hour thinking about everything! Im so excited but yet super sad! Its such an emotional roller coaster! I wish I wouldve met my friends i have this semester last semester, well just more reason to come back to South America no? So Argentina won today, I am seriously in the best country besides Africa during the World Cup. They are crazy fanatics here! I love it! Brasil plays on Tuesday! Go Brasil! Anyway, hope all is well family and friends! Falta pocoooooo
Besossssss

A really good good day!

Today was an amazing day! I found out Steven got the job he wanted at Dimple Records, my boss at Starbucks told me that I can have my job back at Starbucks when I get home, and in my Macroeconomics class, because I studied so hard over the weekend, I understood everything and the teacher asked me a question in the class and I was able to answer it intelligently. Not like a stupid foreigner who cant speak the language well. Im so so so happy! And now that I have 4 weeks left, I feel super happy! Im so happy to come home and Im so happy with my Spanish and now my Portuguese. Im just in such a good mood! yay! So what happened in the class was we were discussing the exchange rates and how everything is in the perspective of the US Dollar and when it says that the exchange rate raises, this means a depreciation of the US Dollar. So the teacher said, this is very difficult because its opposite and we dont think in dollars we think in pesos argentinos. Then he said ok Ms. California what does this mean when you raise the exchange rate, why does the demand and production diminish. And I said it is like this because when the exchange rate raises, the dollar depreciates and this makes foreign products more expensive for us to buy, so we have less renta, less, production, and less demand. But I said this all in Spanishhhhhhhh yay! Im so so so so happy. Then I got home and read my email with my boss saying that he needs to know my exact date back and hopes that I still want my job. yay yay yay! What a good day. So next Tuesday I have one final, then I have another on the 28th and 30th. I still have to write a paper of 17 pages or less about Global Warming Issues and Integration in Latin America but everything will get done, especially once Im not in class anymore and I can just focus on finishing up my term papers and studying for finals. Its nice to have a 10 day break from school to study for finals haha. Anyway, family, friends...its almost here! I just paid my last months rent yesterday. Its been a wonderful year, now its time to make the list of things I want to bring home with me and what I want to see before I leave. I love you all!

Love happy Rachel
