Mirameeee....
What a laaazy afternoon this has been after a fuckload of a morning. I got up at 6:30 am to go to school early to finish my giant exam make-up for Literatura. Sometime during the morning I lost track of time, so that when I left for school at 7:45 I somehow believed that I wasn't going to have any time before my 9 o'clock Spanish class to work. But a few minutes later I realised that in my rush I'd actually given myself an extra hour, and that's what saved me.
We had our first class for Espanol VI with Victor. It was a bit weird, we spent the first half of the class discussing our "feelings" upon viewing photos of crop circles, versus our "thoughts". It was weird, and I told him I had a hard time looking at them without thinking "people who believe in alien crop circles are crackpots". In spanish of course. Then we made a class list of who we thought were the ten most influential people in the 20th century; I have no idea why. We spent the rest of the class trying to decipher the insane, nonsensical "portfolio" project that is both our final project and something we have to work on and hand in every week. I stopped paying attention with twenty minutes left and just worked on Eugen's paper.
For the next hour between classes I worked like a maniac on finishing it, and actually realised that I finished with ten minutes to spare but decided not to give it a final edit because FUCK IT, that's why. It was 2000 words and five pages single spaced and about 5 hours more work than it would have been just to go to the exam. So I better get a thousand fucking per cent.
I didn't have time to eat anything though, and I only got through Eugen's unbearable lit class thanks to a five minute break when I went to get chips from the Oxxo, which is like the Mexico version of 7-11 only better because they sell beer and liquor.
Gonzalo picked me up afterwards, we went to the market and back to his house where Mine (who's BACK! yaaaay) made us delicious food. I've been lying on the couch ever since feeling absolutely drained and wondering where the last three hours went.
I'd like to write about last night too because it was so lovely wonderful even though we didn't really do anything, but I'm tired and want some Zucaritas so we're off to my house to nap before Italian food at Sofie's house tonight. Hooray for everything.
