Thurthday is not thuper
I have been sitting at this computer for more than four... no, five hours and I have written one page. It is single-spaced and in Spanish, but still. I am a waste of space.
The other day I went to a movie in one of the ritzier neighborhoods, where everybody pays with 100 or 50 pesos bills. I paid with eight 2-peso bills and the cashier got so excited to have change that he jumped around, taunted all the other cashiers, and gave me a cough drop in gratitude. Oh Argentina.
I learned how to write my name in Arabic finally. Also we learned the... things that tell you what vowel sound comes after the letter, I don't know what they're called in English. But we learned them. And after that, the professor yelled NOW YOU CAN READ! Then she gave us Arabic newspapers and I said, no no. Can't read. But I can sound stuff out. Marginally.
Right now, I think I would sell my soul (yours too) to play in a couple feet of snow.
