New Roommate

3-22-10
I woke up in time for breakfast. An amazing feat. I ate the food and then with so much time to spare, I read and relaxed for a good while. Andrew and I got a new roommate for the week from Argentina. It seems strange that he is only here for a week but whatever. Eventually I grabbed lunch and ate with some people before heading to school.

At school, I talked to some friends about their weekend at the beach. I am kind of jealous I didn't end up going but I shall live. In history, we discussed some of the early parts of post independence Argentina. It was pretty interesting. In Spanish, we discussed how Americans are perceived as well as Europeans (due to us also having some French and Italian students). It was rather amusing. I walked and talked to people after class. Eventually headed home.

At home, I emailed some professors about classes for the fall and my credits here and making sure that they will carry over since I don't want to drop the major. I relaxed most of the evening since I had done my homework for tomorrow previously. Eventually I went to dinner. After food, I hung with friends. Then I talked to my friend Desiree, and I went over to her place to watch Babel. I forgot how incredibly depressing that movie is. Then I came back home where I wrote this before bed.

Maybe its due to all the healthcare stuff going, but I have these scabs on me that I have had for several weeks now and maybe they are not healing because I itch like the Dickens but I really am thinking I should have them checked out either here or back in Seattle. But priority numero uno, is getting a Gasto doctor here.

"Beside the ashes of the fire"

Today, was the first step in getting ready for my time away. I talked to a girl who seemed pretty chill. She goes down earlier than when I start because she didn't want to sit around for a month. Which is reasonable. After this, my mom and I worked magic and started to figure out health things like my pills and Remicade treatments. After lunch, my mom and I went to the bank to set up an account for me to get money. After I failed to get photos from my new Holga. I am in the process of getting a roll shot and processed. Then I talked to Hallie for a bit. Then I tried to fetch Nicky but I had to wait so I listened to ESPN radio. After getting back I read most, and later finished, my book, Angler, by Barton Gellman. It was real interesting. Now to read the controversial book, Open Veins of Latin America by Eduardo Galeano. It looks real interested and I am excited to read it. Later after dinner and a good game of Jeopardy, I watched Heroes, one of many shows I will not see live for sometime. Then I skyped with Abbey and imed with my friend Rachel. A pretty relaxing night considering I have my Remicade treatment in the morning and getting shots in the afternoon.
Wish me luck.
