El Commandante

6/3/10
I woke up and got ready for school. I got to campus and bought myself a croissant since I missed breakfast. In class, more about Borges. I want to read more of his works some day, so I put his collected fiction my long amazon wish-list. After class, I headed home. There I ate lunch. I headed to Starbucks after to work on my History essay. I had planned to write about the School of Americas, but based on my thesis I couldn't find too much sources besides the basic information, and I didn't know what else to write about it. So I have gone to my backup option, Che. This way, I can find more sources and use quotes from books I used in a previous paper I wrote.

My friend Devin and I went for cupcakes. After, I went back to working on my paper but also talked to Abbey. I eventually had a quick bite to eat since I am now off to a birthday dinner.

On my way home in 17 days!!! AHH!!!!

Colombian Drug Dealing Model

5-31-10
I woke up and grabbed breakfast. I worked a bit on my homework and uploaded photos. I also dropped off laundry (maybe the last load before I leave). I then grabbed lunch and ate with friends. I then headed to school. At school, I talked to friends while waiting for class to begin. In history, we talked about our papers due next week, I am doing one about the School of Americas, as well as our final that is going to be less intense than our not so difficult final. We then watched a documentary about the failure that was the Falklands war.

I hung out with some of my program heads and friends. We talked about various things including my cuts (ps, I am slightly afraid of the buses now or at least really hesitant about getting off). In Spanish, we talked about another future tense as well as the subjunctive, my mortal enemy. I had my presentation about a newspaper article. I chose an article about this 30 year old Colombian model who got arrested here for being a head of a narcotics trade. Its been one of the big stories recently.

After school, I headed home, where I tried to upload photos and talked to friends. I had dinner and chilled and read for class.

Tomorrow's plan: Class, lunch, going to a cafe to work on a paper/upload photos, dinner, then a friend's birthday party.
