Although I miss Argentina more than you can imagine, Christmas at home went pretty well. We spent it at the beach, drinking a bunch of good wine my dad had collected over the past year and playing Scrabble in teams. It made me want to play more frequently and get way better. I really really enjoy it.
My parents leave for Buenos Aires on the 31st.. I'm still trying to figure out what I'll be doing that night. It's the first New Years I've ever spent with friends. For some reason, New Years has always been a "family thing" for us.. which is never fun unless we're with our cousins in Argentina.
But this one will be sweet for several reasons:
a) Tom is here and it hasn't even been 24 hours yet and it's already awesome.
b)I'll get my first New Years kiss ever. (this is lame I know... but I'm a girl and these kinds of things are important to me)
c)The New Year will be way less stressful/busy for me and I'll have more time to have a social life.
d)I'll actually make money this semester from tutoring and substituting instead of working 40 hours a week FOR FREE.
don't get me wrong, I loved my internship but it made me angry to put so much work into something and not get paid for it....and rack up a sick amount of credit card debt in the process.
I'll pay it back soon though.. and then I'm saving money for summer travels and maybe a new laptop.
