Well what can I say... It has been one fun and tough week. With little time to go before returning home to the states for Christmas and the New Year, I had to say a lot of goodbyes. I thought this week would be very lonely as all the other United Statesians were gone. I was completely wrong.
I was out everyday visiting downtown, other host parents that I will miss so much, and of course eating my favorite foods, all well trying to spend as much time with my host family as I could. I even made a stop to my first host family's house to say goodbye. Marta was not there but I had a beer with Edzui. It was really fun, but sad to start saying more and more goodbyes.
My "friend" Magui left for Rioja, where she leaves. We had a lunch date on Thursday, and then met again early Saturday morning to say "goodbye". Funny how that works though because she returned to Cordoba again yesterday morning. We met during the afternoon, drank a juice, and again gave eachother little "going away presents".
I went to my school the other day to say goodbye to most of the professors and some friends before the school closes for the holidays and summer. It was sad, but had to be done.
I benefitted in the fact that I downloaded a lot of the pictures that had been taken by others. I bought a pen drive last week when I realized that the folder I saved all my photos to was on a computer in Argentina. My brother informed me that the folder would be pretty hard to access in Minnesota. I responded with the fact that I have a lot of them on facebook too. Again he informed me of the hours it would take to save each picture off of facebook. He clearly knows how to make me look like a knucklehead. Anyway, he influenced me to buy a pen drive and it paid off this past week as I gained a lot of new interesting photos of my experience.
I also have scrambled this week to buy as many gifts for people as I could. Will see how many of you actually get something. Unfortuanately I suck at that part of life. Dont expect anything exciting hahaha.
It is a sad week, but atleast 37 degrees C (98 F)is better than 0 degrees F (-12 or something C)
