The Saviour on Calle Sinclair

4-19-10
I was going to wake up for breakfast but preferred to sleep a bit longer. When I did wake up, I went to check Facebook and emails before heading out to the hostel. There, I was given the number of the IT guy who fixed my computer last time. When I got back to my residencia, I called them. They said they couldn't come to me but I could come to them. They were on Calle Sinclair. I laughed at the irony (is it ironic?). I headed out and got there. The guys were really nice. They offered me something to drink which I asked for water. The process of cleaning out my computer took three hours but they also showed me how to got rid of some other stuff that were dangerous as well as registering my anti virus so then I can now check in the future. After all their help, I headed back and dropped off my computer and grabbed my stuff for school.

I missed my first class, so I grabbed lunch before my Spanish class. In class, we talked about Space, what we would do with ten million dollars and more. After class, I headed home. At home, I chilled before starting to study for my midterm that is on Wednesday. I am not really excited for it. I also downloaded some music, including Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, a band I am considering seeing in Seattle, even if it is the first night I am home. As my brother described them, a flashback to Motown days. I also listened to a radio segment my grandfather did about living with Cancer. It was really interesting and cool to hear him talk so openly about it.

I am currently fighting a cold. I think the bug that entered my computer has left it and come into my body. I am trying to fight it with orange juice, tissues and cough drops.

The Tango

I woke up in time for breakfast (so hard to do). I ate with some friends. I had three plates of scrambled eggs and several glasses of orange juice. Yum yum. I then showered and got my stuff together and headed to school with my roommate and another friend. After some difficulty finding my class, I did. We discussed a book we are to read by next Thursday. It is Sarmiento's Facundo. It is one of the most famous Argentine pieces of literature. I am kind of excited.

After class, I picked up my copy of the book. Then I went to lunch with some people from my program. It was quite enjoyable. Then some of us headed to the Modern Art museum which was pretty cool despite my lack of understanding of how some things can be considered art and others not. It confuses me but whatever. After, we walked through a mall since the girls had to do some window shopping. I then said chau for a little bit. Back at the residencia, I relaxed for a little bit before getting ready to go out.

Eventually we all headed to and arrived at the Tango show that we went with our program. I ate delicious food and chatted with some friends. When the show finally started, it was amazing. Chelsey and I were in a photo duel. She might have won. I took more (nearly 700) but I am not sure if they are any better. I am now in the process of editing them (the one above is one of the few I have gotten to so far). I then took the bus home. On the walk back to the residencia, I met some Porteños who seem chill. But after I dropped off my stuff, they seemed to have vanished from our meeting spot. I was sad but that is life. Tomorrow I hope to find a doctor or so. Other than that. No idea. Maybe take photos.
