kate, you dont need to read, copy-pasted from your email
i had a pretty crappy day yesterday.
i bought new boots, they´re really cute, real leather, good quality, have a little heel, but not much... but since i never ever wear anything with a heel, my feet hurt sooo bad. it was awful. and today they still hurt a little, but it was like i had worked out a muscle in my foot that i never used before. its pretty intense. so as im walking to school, which is about 11 blocks, they start hurting. but i talked to my friends host mom about it and she said its a good brand, and they´re normally really comfortable... so i think its just because my feet arent used to a heel.
then i just had a shitty ass spanish day. i had such a hard time understanding my class, we had a different teacher and she talked really fast with a thick accent, and i just had such a hard time following, and it was on subjunctive, which i just suck at anyways. then in my next class, the teacher gave us an assignment that we had to do an interview simulation, but we also had to read these suggestions for what not to do, and i was confused if we had do what we´re not suppose to do in our interview, and the teacher thought i was confused about something else... so it was really confusing... and the class was out ten minutes late because everyone was trying to explain it to me... and im just stupid and didnt get it... so that was lame...
after that, it was really fun, cynthia, margot, (who you will probably hear a lot about) wade and i all went to this little reggae bar, which was so adorable. i loved it. they played bob marley and had tie dye everywhere, it was cute. but then we were hungry, and most bars dont serve food here until after nine, so we went to a different place that we knew would give us pizza and ate there.
we still didnt want to go home so we bought a bottle of wine, potato chips and alfajores (which are like these little cookie/cake things) and went back to margots, where we played MASH(O) and hung out. that part was all really fun. the girl that stayed with margot´s host mom before her was still in rosario, because she met a boy down here, and so shes been living with him since we got here, and is leaving in a week. its really sad though because shes like crazy about this guy, and its obvious that he really likes her too, and its just adorable. they´re going to try to make it work and stuff, he´s going to study abroad in the states and stuff, its just cute. so hes trying to learn english, and shes pretty fluent in spanish, so they talk in spanish most of the time, but on tuesdays and thursdays they speak in english. its just cute i love it. she lives above margots host mom and their hot water wasnt working, so she was borrowing the shower, and while her boyfriend was showering she was telling us the whole story and stuff. anyways, it was starting to get late, so we decided to call it a night.
my feet were killing me, so i didnt want to walk home, so i took a cab. foolishly, i thought i had 12 pesos, one ten and one two... but actually i only had two 2 peso bills (4 pesos), so my total is 4.80something and i give him 1 two dollar pesos thinking its a ten, then hes like repeating the total and i realize my mistake, so i give him the other 2 peso bill, then i scrape together enough change... so i think im okay, then the guy refuses one of my bills saying its fake. im like omg what the hell am i supposed to do?? i didnt have any other money, and i told him that, and its just like, wft who would make a fake 2 peso bill??? thats like 60 cents! it would probably cost more to make it then what its worth.... so the guy just took the ¨fake¨ bill all huffy-like and i left. but i felt soooo bad, because i felt like i kinda ripped him off... but i didnt intend to... so yesterday was pretty lame.
today was a lot better, had a midterm, probably didnt do great, but i know i didnt do bad, and the fake interview went fine. after classes, we went to this amazing restaurant. they were pretty fancy. i had the yummiest drinks, and it was happy hour so i ended up getting two... it was vanilla ice cream, rum and some shredded chocolate in it. cynthia got two drinks as well, and margot got two beers, all three of us got three really nice appetizers to share, then shared two desserts... the desserts were amazing... and the total (they had it both in pesos and in US dollars) was only 35 US dollars! i couldnt believe how cheap it was.
anyways i think thats all for now. i have to give a presentation tomorrow for my other midterm... so i should go work on it.
