In less than 2 weeks I will be on my way home (a week from Sunday)! On my hourly countdown it says 11 days 23 hours until I'm flying out of Buenos Aires. I made this countdown because I am excited but also it is a reminder for how little I have left so that I will go and make the most out of the time instead of being a bum in my room all day.
Here's a little insight into my life during these last 2 weeks:
-I went to the contemporary church for probably the last time on Sunday (I will probably go to the Methodist church to say goodbye to our friends this Sunday). I am going to miss worship there. They played one of my fav songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-2zRhYoraU
-2 of my classes are completely done! I had a final today, which could have gone better but I'm not worried because my other grades in that class were decent. Here is a video clip that I had to make for one of my classes to share the meaning of the word "pavo" (literally meaning turkey, but also meaning a dollar, a stupid person, a preteen, or that something is important). If you know any Spanish or just want to hear me speak Spanish it might be kind of funny...I hope.
-Tomorrow is my last day of real class. However, there is a possibility I won't be able to get there because there is talk of a general strike meaning the buses, subtes, trains, etc will be on strike, which pretty much knocks out my options for getting there, and people will be protesting a block away from the Catholic University (which could be slightly dangerous)
-Monday I have 3 finals :-(
-I have 5 pages of writing (1 1/10 papers) and 3 tests keeping me from "summer break"
-After Monday, I have 5 days of hanging out with friends and doing last minute touristy stuff that I have not gotten the chance to do including Teatro Colon and possibly Lujan Zoo (which is a huge petting zoo where you can hold baby lions and stuff)
In the meantime, I am distracting myself from doing hw by drinking Mate. As you can see I'm in a long sleeve shirt. The last week we've actually had great weather, like 50s and sunny, but Argentines still dress in coats, hats, and scarves. Coming from NJ and MA I don't think I'll ever be able to comprehend how Argentines think this is cold weather.
This might be my last post in Buenos Aires, unless I do something exciting or take some cool pics.
Once again, your prayers would be appreciated as I finish up and travel 17 hours home. Thank you for being with me for these 4 1/2 months. I will miss Argentina but I am definitely looking forward to summer in the US.
Besos,
Bot
