well, it's sunday afternoon and i've got one week left in latin america. definitely going to miss it. looking back on every country, i think mexico was my favorite. everything about it was awesome. the food, the people, the music, salsa, the small town feel of guanajuato, it was all great. i loved peru but lima was pretty ugly. argentina has been fun but it doesn't feel at all like latin america. everyone else is white like me just they speak better spanish. but the steak and empanadas here are amazing.
last night my house mom cooked up some carne asade de la parillla. meat from the grill. i think it was the reddest meat i've ever eaten but it was so good. i had so many pieces. but i usually don't feel that bad eating a ton at dinner because breakfast consists of two pieces of toast and some fruit, and lunch i'm on my own so it usually consists of a $2 sandwhich in the university cafeteria. breakfast is at 9am, lunch at 1pm, and dinner around 9pm.
plans for this week. only three days left of school (mon, tues, wed) but they are going to be busy. we have a written/oral final in spanish and my politics class i have to write 6 essays (finished one, it was about U.S. intervention in the mexican revolution from 1910-1917) and my other ones involve such topics as the history of the formation of states (countries) in latin america, 4 interpretationes of classic populismo and how it relates to neopopulism (must have fazed out during this part of class, don't remember any of it, but you've got to the love the internet, comes in handy for times like these), and the effects of terrorism on the governments of latin america. yeah!!!! but once wednesday is over, i have no plans until my flight leaves sunday night. i think the rest of my group plans on being drunk those four days and not sleeping, but i plan on just not sleeping. should be fun. i'll be nice and ready for the 10ish hour flight from buenos aires to texas.
in case any of you are wondering, here are the classes i will be taking this spring at messiah:
applied statistics for management, decision making tools for management, business law, an honors class called personal narrative, pluralist world (sounds like a girly touchy feely class to me, but i have to take it to graduate, so let the sharing of emotions begin), music through piano (basic general education music credit, it was this or music through recorder) and judaism (which i'm really looking forward to, find out some information about the jewish history on my mother's side).
one more week. will try and steal some more photos from my friends to share with all y'all.
