I figured after the past 4 blogs were about my amazing
adventures of family and friends I would update you on life here in Argentina.
Things have been rough with all the goodbyes. First, I said
goodbye to my parents and then Emily. Then I had to say bye to Dayna. I met
Dayna one of the first nights that she got here about a month ago. She got here
right before my parents did so I didn’t really get to hang out with her much.
However, the last 2 weeks before she left I got to know her pretty well. She’s
such an amazing person and I am so thankful to have met her.
It’s so weird how some of the people you meet, you never
would have had the chance to meet in the states. There are some people you
probably wouldn’t have even talked to. However, when you throw a people from
the United States into a foreign country there is an instant connection. You
become friends with anyone who speaks English and you build off that. She’s a
little bit older than me and lives in California, so we would have no way of
meeting each other back home. It’s crazy how that happens. The same goes for everyone I've met here.
My friend Tom will be leaving BA on Monday. He was
originally supposed to be here for quite some time, but things happened back in
Bolivia and he feels he needs to return to volunteer more. I’m sad that he is
leaving, but I know this is what will make him happy. When I start traveling
soon, I am going to go to Sucre and see him and volunteer for a few days.
Suji has decided to leave a week early, so now she will be
leaving on Tuesday. It’s going to be so weird not having someone at every
second to hang out with. I kinda got used to that. It’s nice to have my space
every once in a while, but then again I’m about to have a lot of that.
Work has been interesting the past few weeks. I am now only
teaching 2 classes a day. It works out so much better for me. I wasted so much
time sitting at the other company and just waiting for them and wasting time.
They didn’t like 1 thing about the class, so they asked to change teachers.
When is the last time that you had a class that you just LOVED absolutely
everything about it? Exactly… NEVER! Crazy ass people.
On Wednesday, I will start a Spanish tutor for an hour twice
a week. I figure I have a lot of free time now, so I need to do something
productive. I think it will be a little bit of grammar, reviewing what I have
forgotten, and then a lot of conversation.
On Monday, I am going to semi start interning for
Beerlingual, which is part of Spanglish. It will be the social media part, and
we all know I’m pretty good at that. I have to find sponsors for each week and
I’m pretty damn persuasive (mom and dad know all about that).. let’s just see
if I can do it in Spanish. I’m excited to see behind the scenes of Spanglish,
since that is pretty much where I spend all of my time.
I hoping to travel around South America before I head back
to the United States. I’m not exactly sure when that will be, but maybe I will
tell you. But probably not, because I’m trying to surprise someone. J my plans are to go to
Chile, Bolivia, Peru, and spend the week in Brazil before I come home. I have
some persuading to do on this also… talk to you soon dad ;)
Hope everyone is doing well! Love you all J
