3 Days of School Left

6-14-10
I woke up and breakfast. After, I reviewed some Spanish. I had to make a copy of my visa as well as one of my pages from my passport. After, I dropped off my suitcase to get fixed. I studied some more but then I met with Ellis and her friend Taylor who are town. After, I got lunch before heading to school. All of which was while fighting the rain.

At school, I studied while waiting to get my history grade. I got a 9 out of ten which is like an A not A-. Then I studied more. The exam, I thought it was pretty good. The article we had to read and answer questions about was about Jacob Zuma, South African president, the man who has many wives and how the second one who cheated on him. She turned out to be the one who I met last summer at the G8 event in Rome. After,I headed home. At home, I read and took notes on readings for tomorrow's final. I spent the majority of the evening on this minus hanging with Ellis and her friend for a bit.

The Beginning of the End

I woke up and after getting photos uploaded, I started studying for Spanish. I spent most of the afternoon studying. I am not too worried but refreshers never hurt. I also skyped my dad and Abbey. I have so little time left. I am totally feeling bittersweet. Ellis is coming into town tomorrow for a few days which will be fun despite me being in the midst of finals. After Tuesday morning, I only have three orals. I got dinner and spent some of the evening studying as well.
7 days left. So weird. Final push we come.

Feeling like I ripped off a band-aid

I woke up and studied the majority of the morning for my exam. I felt like I had a decent grasp on the material though not looking forward to it.I ate lunch and headed to school where I did some last minute studying. I knew some of the questions, others not so much including one where I completely blanked based on the wording. We shall see. Never again shall I take an Econ class, I can tell you this though I know Econ majors who don't like this class. After,I hung out with my program heads and chilled until Spanish.

In Spanish, we did our final prep for our exam on Monday. At home, I worked on my essay while dealing with crappy internet which eventually went dead (so I am writing this in the other building). In my break, I ate ice cream with friends. Paper is now done. This means, I am 4 oral exams and two written exams away from being with school till end of August, some sort of freedom.

Cinco de Mayo

5-5-10
I woke up and grabbed breakfast. I studied most of the morning before I had lunch. I then took the bus and talked to friends. I then asked one of my program heads about taking the train here. I think I have the possibility of saving money if I do the 9 day trip, by taking the train where it would take 26 hours instead of 20 hours, but save maybe lots of money and I have done longer on a train so I wouldn't mind. Then I headed to class.

In economics class, we talked about the European crisis and its affect on Latin America. My teacher was extremely non-PC today. Among his things, he said that Bernie Madoff is a saint compared to some Argentine people. It was pretty insane. After class, I and others headed to our Spanish class for our exam. For me, I think it went well. I mean we shall see. I then headed home. I relaxed and talked to friends. I watched Lost and had dinner.

Tonight's plan, go out and eat Mexican food with friends for Cinco de Mayo, the American holiday.

Still Debating...

I woke up after a bad night of sleep. I barely made it in time for class. My professor wasn't there but my history teacher was. She talked about various topics. After, I hung out and I talked to my friend Mark, from Westchester MA. We talked our classes, our Spanish exam and travels. Other friends soon joined us. I grabbed some food and talked.

I eventually headed home. There I studied for my Spanish exam. I am not too worried about. Just have to get some grammatical stuff done. In my study breaks, I talked to people and editing some photos for the fun of it. I studied pretty much until dinner. I ate and chatted with people. I talked to Abbey and relaxed most of the evening.

Still debating the length of my trip to Salta.
This picture is from my friend's trip there. She has given me her itinerary and I would base mine off hers because her trip sounded and looked amazing.
