Here I am in Buenos Aires, finishing up my semester. Earlier this week I was very stressed out because it seemed like I had an overwhelming amount of work to do. However, it just so happens that the week I need it most (that would be this week), I have a feriada (holiday) leaving me a 5 day weekend. God always provides the time and space I need. I have been trying not to worry about the whole picture of all that I have to do, but just focusing on one thing at a time. Today, I got my tango paper finished, which I originally thought would take me a lot longer but with 4 hours of focus I was able to crank it out! I actually kind of enjoyed learning about how Astor Piazzolla transformed the music of tango making it more electric. and the criticism he receive for it. I am 9/15 pages done with my architecture paper (which I will work on tomorrow).
A week from Monday, July 2, all of my classes will be done and I will have almost a week to rest/pack/finish exploring this country I have come to love. I am anxious to get home to summer, family, and camp, but have started feeling nostalgic to leave Marta and Ariel, to leave a city where anything I need is across the street (unlike when I have to drive 15 minutes to get anywhere), and to leave a city where there is so much to see and do. Today Christa and I just hung out and did homework while sharing Maté, which I actually really like now. On Friday I am going back to a milonga to practice for my tango final. When will I ever be able to do that again? Also, on Friday I am going iceskating with my "host niece," so that should be a nice way to take a break from homework :-)
Please pray that I finish strong, and especially pray for July 2. I have 3 finals on that day (one of which is going to be my hardest). I look forward to hearing from all of you and catching up.
Love,
Bot
