Sabado

Oh my goodness, is it Saturday already?! I cant believe I havent updated since Tuesday!

Ok, lets see. Well Wednesday, I went to the gym in the morning and had my Spanish grammar class in the afternoon. In the evening, I went to an after-work bar with Sarah, Anne, Adam and Agustin. FUN FUN! Free food never hurts anyone. Plus, I had my first experience with dolce de leche helado from Freddos! (Translation: Caramel ice cream from the best place EVER!) It was a ton of fun!

Thursday I went to the gym and went to my history class. Oh, school. Its really putting a damper on my style. LOL. I wound up getting a notebook to put together my notes which was really useful. I highlighted all of the dates, people, events and places I know nothing about so I can look it all up. I highlighted A LOT.

Yesterday I got up and went to the gym. (Sense a pattern? Although I like going cause it is close, plus I already paid for it, so its FREE! Who doesnt love stuff that you dont have to pay for?) I went to the movies yesterday and had my first experience with someone who was less than pleasant due to my language difficulties. In my defense though, we were seeing Kung Fu Panda. Even if I spoke no Spanish, I could still say ¨Kung Fu Panda¨and he could have given me a ticket. This older gentleman (he was pretty old, actually) was just waiting and waiting and then he looked at me and asked which movie. So I said, ¨Kung Fu Panda.¨He turned to the younger guy next to him, handed him his headset and told him to talk to me because I speak english. So I looked at the younger guy and said, ¨No no, I speak Spanish too. And I just want a ticket for the goddamn PANDA MOVIE!¨Ok, I made that last part up. Id never yell. But I did tell him I spoke Spanish and then asked for a ticket. And then the young guy said, ¨You know its in Spanish, right?¨Wait a second!? YOU MEAN IM IN SOUTH AMERICA AND ITS IN SPANISH!? So I smiled politely and said, ¨Yes I know.¨And then we went to the movie. REALLY. LOL. It was funny. But Kung Fu Panda was really cute, plus it was on our level of espanol.

After Panda, we went home and then met up at midnight. I went to Club Mod with Sarah, Katherine, Mike and Alex. It was a lot of fun. We ran into some people from out program there. Lots of Americans there last night. But it was great. They had this band up there for a little while and I kid you not when I say the lead singer was wearing a leopard print shirt, unbuttoned. And at one point, we was laying on the stage doing pelvic thrusting motions. I WAS DYING. It was like a train wreck. You didnt want to look at the 40 year old man sweating in leather pants while he humped the air, but you just couldnt help it. Friday maybe just made me crazy lol.

Today, we were going to go to some agriculture thing but didnt want to spend 13 pesos to see cows. Sooo, we went to get lunch and then walked around for a bit. I went to a book store today and got some books. YAY! Now, I can just relax and read for a bit.

Im kind of tired so I dont think I am going to go out tonight. Id also like to study a little vocab cause it helps so much with day to day things.

There is no top-5 today but the next top 5 will be my top 5 favorite quote from my friends on this trip so far. (THEY´RE FUNNY!)

Miss everyone lots.
Happy August!
