While my tummy gets a rest...
Today's my Mom's b-day, which meant having lunch with her, my grandparents (who came on Thrusday) and Vincenzo (Santiago is in Villa Gesell with his friends right now- comes back tomorrow- so obviously didn't joined us) at one of those "all that you can eat" places...this implies not only ridiculous amounts of food (I had chicken, seafood and salad, among others:P), but also my Mom breaking her diet, which she had started on Monday...FAIL!
Work's great, I've got scheduled 4 afternoon shifts next week and looking forward to it...my second day was pretty laid-back, but on my first day I did 3 guided tours, 2 in English and one in Italian...I still can't believe it myself...you guys, I'm so excited! I wasn't really prepared for the one in Italian, to be honest, but I was sort of forced to do it, as my boss was present when the Italian group came in...gosh, I didn't even know how to say cloysters in Italian! Fortunately I managed to say a couple of things more or less fluently and coherently, or else I would have felt extremely embarrased. Anyway, they thanked me a lot, and even helped me out with the vocabulary! Now I'm more prepared for the next time, yay! Bring it on! Have met only 3 of my co-workers (and they are...8, I think): Iván, the boss' son, rather shy but nice and with a great sense of humor; Helena, a 23-year-old History student, very enthusiastic and so far, my favourite one; and Belén, an apathetic girl of my age who doesn't know what to do with herself and hates the job. Tomorrow I should be working with Daiana, Belén cousin, so will see how it goes. There's so much to tell, but I'm afraid I'll bore you to death...maybe some other time...
Saw a couple of documentaries by Herzog with Sebastian on Wednesday (there's a Herzog special downtown, yay!Will probably go see another of his movies on Thrusday with an ex-classmate), and saw Nine with him yesterday as well...honestly, I was expecting more of the latter, and compared to Chicago, the result is rather poor...but anyway, great excuse to see Daniel Day-Lewis on the silverscreen again!*drools*
