semana de inferno

This past week has been loco. I decided NOT to go to Uraguay as originally planned with my roommates due to the fact that I had 3 papers due and 3 exams this week (all by weds). So I made use of the weekend with the apartment to myself by doing the most exciting of things- STUDYING! I didn´t even go play ultimate this week because I was studying (shocker I know). It was actually really nice to have the place to myself. I have to admit I was a bit disappointed when on Saturday night I got a text message saying they were on their way back. I hadn´t planned on them returning until Sunday or even Monday.

Still I did manage to have a little fun. Took a few hour break on Saturday to visit Orlando at his job and then stopped by the Jardin Botanico to take some pictures. I was really excited to see the lotus flowers in bloom, especially since they are one of my favorite flowers.

Monday I turned in my first paper that was due to my Traditions and Cultures class (basically an anthro course on Argentine culture). I was a bit surprised whem my teacher asked my opinion on someone else´s paper, citing that I was a ¨great observer¨. I guess he could tell from my other work that I´ve turned in. I just hope he´s not disappointed by my paper. It was maybe not as well developed or written as I had hoped.

Yesterday was finishing a case study for Negocios Internacionales that was due today. And last night I had a little fun with Molly´s computer, adjusting some of the photos I´ve taken since I´ve been here. Along with doing some reasearch for the other paper I had to turn into today. I was amazed at how easy I was able to write it this morning. I woke up and it was like a lightbulb had gone off in my head. I guess the sleep did me some good.

Turned in those papers today and took another final. The third test that I THOUGHT I had (and had been studying for all week), I just found out that I did not need to take it afterall. Good thing I was not too stressed about it.

Now it´s time for a little fun. This SHOULD be the weekend we finally go to Tierra Santa, the mini Holy Land in BsAs. I´m excited. It should be so over the top corny that it´s amazing.
