My life in Cordoba has changed dramatically the last few weeks. I have finished classes, and said goodbyes to some of my best friends in the world. The program is over, but I must have missed the memo because I am still here. Unfortuanately being here is a little bit like finishing highschool. If you elect to stay at home, your friends leave, but if you leave, you are leaving all your friends. Atleast 20 of my friends have moved away in the past week back to their home country, but here I am still in Argentina.
I have noticed that my typical day has changed. I dont mind at all though because I hate routines and knowing what is coming next. Now, I wake everyday without a plan and it is great. Throughout the program my day used to go something like this...
I would set my alarm for noon everyday. I know tough life huh. I would get up and eat some facturas or criollas with dulce de leche for breakfast. Then I would take a shower and finish whatever homework I had left over or needed to get a head start on. Sometimes I would just read spanish things for fun, or go online at my house. After that, I would eat lunch around 1 or 1:30 before class. I would grab my headphones and walk a half hour to the university.
Everyday I had class at 2 or 2:30 which sucked. It was right during the siesta hour. After class I would usually bum around the university, studying, talking with friends, or using the internet. It was always an adventure at the university talking with the girls. Recall my earlier blog where I told one girl I did not have a penis. Another incident occurred after I wrote that blog. I asked a girl if she wanted to go play soccer at the field. "Queres jugar futbol en la cancha". However, my wonderful pronunciation turned "cancha" into "concha". Instead, I asked, would you like to go play soccer in the pussy. Anyway, back to my day.
Tuesdays always sucked as I had class until 8:30 at night. Mondays I had to hang around school becasue I had Tango class at night. Thursdays were a little different because I had to get up at 9 am for horseback riding. Otherwise my days were pretty much the same.
At night I would return home for dinner with my family where they would eat and watch on tv "Por Amor A Vos". After dinner it would usually be "Bailando Por un Sueno" or something like that. Some nights I would go out to the boliches or bars. When that happened, I would rarely return early. I would be out until 5 or so in the morning and then sleep all day.
Now, I dont have the stress of school. I do what I want and go where I please. This week is going to be very fun though, as tomorrow my Brother Matt is coming to visit. I don´t have a plan at all, but we are going to find some things to do in the hot summer sun.
As for when I am returning... That is still a surprise.
