OOH when did I post last?
Whatever, clearly doesn’t matter – I got a lot to share (more or less).
Last week: Although it’s Monday, I hardly can remember that far back which is so embarrassing but still. I remember that Thursday, I went to my friend Hanna’s house and then we went to my friend Leo’s house to watch a movie with him and his roommates (great Spanish practice!). Then there was one day that I went to see my family from last year- They were so happy to see me and definitely loved the Victoria’s Secret Lotions and Nutella that I brought. I think I’ll go back sometime soon just to hang out because they were really welcoming and I miss Vacqui (the dog that would sleep in my bed)…
Saturday we had to be at UBP at like 8:30 am which was a real nuisance but I woke up on time and dragged myself to the bus stop just in time to hop on N11, completely clueless that N11 doesn’t go by UBP…When I finally realized my mistake, we had turned and gone 5 blocks so I had to get off and walk to another bus stop where I waited for another ten minutes before N5 appeared. From UBP, we went in a bus to a farm around 2 hours outside of the city where we ate homemade bread with jam and then watched some cowboys play traditional games on their horses. We ate an asado and the veg’s of the group got this DELICIOUS red pepper filled with uncooked egg and oily cheese…yum! I did not eat it BUT there was salad and bread and whatsits. When we finally got back to Córdoba, I headed home to eat a little dinner of homemade gnoccis and then went out with some other kids in the group.
Sunday, Hanna and I tried to work on essays that were due today about the visit to the estancia but I think we got about 5 words out of 800 written so then I went and stayed at her house so we could work on them and also because we had to be to El Centro around 8:30 am today. Why did we have to go to El Centro as a big group, you ask? To begin the VISA process…my absolute FAVORITE PART!!!
Naturally we woke up at 8:30 for whatever reason, so without brushing my teeth or washing my face- we were off! What a long day though, gosh! We had to go do Visa stuff then we had a break where we dawdled around the city and ate, but then we had to go back to UBP for 3 ½ more hours of classes and THEN we had dancing lessons. The highlight of the day, is that I found the HOTTEST pair of wedges while waiting for them to call my name at the Visa place- like they are seriously divine and I cannot wait to wear them all around the town.
The low point of my day? Seeing some boys we met Saturday night come into the gimnasio at UBP while we were rolling around on the floor sweating and doing stretches during dance class but that’s neither here nor there.
This week we have various activities and classes and then a test on Friday which should be a real treat, but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. After all, it’s ONLY MONDAY L
This upcoming weekend and the beginning of next week, however, is Carnaval (the huge party they have in Brazil--- like Mardi Gras) so we have Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday off to travel and whatsits. No plans yet, but I think we all know that doing things last minute is sort of my style.
Tally:
# of hours spent at a café attempting to write an essay but failing miserably: 5
# of pieces of pan casero (homemade bread) that I ate at the Estancia: 5
# of times I had to stop dancing because I was laughing so hard at our luck of seeing those guys: 5+
# of times I smiled to myself to day, just thinking about these shoes: too many to count
