Craving Chocolate Eggs

4-1-10
So due to it being Semana Santa (Easter weekend), there was no school today. I enjoyed my ability to sleep in VERY much so. I relaxed most of the morning. Read some of the book I am reading since I want to finish it in the near future and move onto a new book, though so far in my searches of bookstores here, most of the books in English are James Patterson novels or that type. Not really my cup of tea. But I am planning to make an excursion to an actual bookstore that specializes in English books one day. I had lunch with friends where we all were tortured because the tv in the place where we eat was on a cooking show that was showing how to make those chocolate eggs.

After lunch, I hung out with folks and then did some history reading. I also continued to struggle in the uploading photos (I have 32 left, final push, here we come). I then had to go out and buy some toothpaste and I bought some chocolate since I was craving it. I relaxed and watched some episodes of Oz. I grew tired for some reason and took a 2 hour nap. I was impressed with myself. I woke up in time for dinner where it was pizza night. After, I watched Miami Vice movie, which wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I would say 3.5-3.75 out of 5. Kind of a typical Michael Mann film.

Dealing with the Argentine Health Care System...

Unfortunately, I am on a losing streak in terms of missing breakfast. I woke up and relaxed. I watched Lost and talked to Abbey for a bit. Then I headed out. After getting some money, I then headed to the bookstore on campus and picked up one of my books for class. I then ate lunch with some friends. After, I headed to class. In my economics class, it was again really all over the place. But it was talking about Globalization and stuff, which was nice since I knew about the topic. After class, I met up with friends. We talked about Semana Santa plans. Some are going away (to Cordoba, Patagonia or others), others are having their parents visit which is cool. I am thinking of relaxing, maybe doing a day trip or two. I am pretty happy with this plan. I then talked to my Spanish teacher and explained why I wouldn't be in class.

I then headed out and toward the doctor's office. Her office was in an apartment complex. I waited for her to come back from lunch/siesta. She was really nice. She is real versed in Crohn's and speaks English really well. The system here is very interesting. I have to go and order the Remicade from a Pharmacy and have it delivered to the hospital or something of the sorts. It will be interesting. She teased me about not really looking into reading much about Crohn's in Argentina. It is a lot more rare than I thought. I went home after and rested. I ate dinner and skyped with my dad. Now going to a friend's apartment while I hope more of my photos upload. They are taking FOREVER
