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
