6-9-10
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.

Studying for a lost cause
6-8-10
Woke up and headed to class. We talked about the redemocratization and the final. So near the end, its crazy. After class, I picked up the paper I need to get my grades as well as some short stories for my literature class. I grabbed lunch at home. I spent the better part of the afternoon studying for the econ exam that I am not ready for. It just never has clicked for me and I regret not dropping the class when I had the chance. Wish me all the luck in the world.
Much needed

Forgotten Textbook
6-7-10
I woke up and worked on some Spanish homework and did some history reading. When I headed over to lunch, I was told I couldn't eat there today. So I headed to school, where I got a grilled sandwich and reviewed with friends. I then headed into the classroom. The test was pretty easy, I am feeling quite confident. After, I realized that I forgot my Spanish textbook at home. I called Andrew, my roommate to get him to bring it. While I waited for class and Andrew, I teased one of my program directors about the world cup and Argentina's chances.
Andrew forgot my book at home but it turns out it wasn't really needed for class. We mostly discussed the final next week. So it was all good. After, I headed home, where I started studying for my econ exam. I also finished off the paper due tomorrow. Found out most if not all of the rooms that were previously occupied by NYU students are now with 15 years here for twoish weeks doing a cultural experience, not even learning Spanish. Kind of strange.

Weekend of Goodbyes...Uploading Photos...Writing Papers
6-4-10
After a fun night celebrating my friend Melissa's birthday, I got up in time for my first make up class. We talked about the military dictatorships and the democratization. After, I headed home. There I got lunch and did homework for Spanish class, I eventually went to that class. We talked about the subjunctive. After, I hung out for the afternoon, and tried to start some of my papers. I then went out with two of my NYU friends, Lilly and Desiree, Andrea and Chelsey. We got some food. We then met up with other NYU people for their last night/two of their birthdays. It was fun though it was filled with goodbyes. But there was also a hello in the form of meeting the next door neighbor to my mom. For my final goodbyes for the night to some of the ones I am closest with, we got pizza and said goodbye. It was sad. I may go to NYC for my break in October to see them.
6-5-10
I woke up and worked on my papers. I also sent some postcards and got lunch. I eventually helped Desiree and Lilly get their bags in the cab and said my goodbyes, though I plan to see Desiree in Seattle where she lives. I spent most of the day saying working on papers and uploading photos. I got dinner and kicked it. I went out and hung out with some friends for a bit before coming home and going to bed.
6-6-10
I woke up and uploaded the last batch of photos. I met up with Matt and we got food and ice cream and continued our catching up. After, I wrote a good portion of my literature paper that is due on Thursday. I also skyped with my mom. I ate dinner and continued on my my paper.
All my photos are finally uploaded.

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!!!!

Harry Potter and the Israeli/Palestine Conflict
6-2-10
After a fun party at Desiree's/Kika's. I woke up and did the rest of my Spanish reading. I also did some reading for myself. I grabbed lunch and talked to friends. I then struggled to break some money because in this country change is valuable and the only way to pay for the bus. I will not miss that. I got to school and headed to Econ. While this is the last real class, he still gave us new material instead of reviewing for the final. I will not miss this class at all.
After, I hung out with people from my program before in Spanish. In Spanish, we practiced the subjunctive. My teacher is apparently Harry Potter because she feels like it is really crappy writing. We kept fighting her on it. It was pretty amusing. We also talked about the Israel/Palestinian issue. After, I headed home.
I went to the store, and got the shirt. I practiced with the buttons and it seems to work. Woot woot!!! Then I headed home. There I worked on my Political & Social Change paper. The assignment is two to three pages double spaced, and bullet points. I am writing about Mexico and more or less finished which is really nice since I have two other papers to write, and two finals next week. Not fun. I am hoping to finish out or get close to finishing another paper tomorrow afternoon, though I also have another birthday dinner tomorrow night

Broken Button and Canceled Classes
6-1-10
I overslept a bit and had to quickly ready for school. After showing up late, I found out it was canceled. So I wasted effort in the rush but I made the most of it and turned in my visa finally. I then headed home. I grabbed lunch. When I took off my new shirt to shower, one of the buttons broke. After, I went to try to get it fixed, the store told me that they can try to fix it tomorrow or give me the money back so we shall see what happens.
Most of the afternoon, I started to research for some of my papers, swapped music with friends, and chatted with some who are leaving on Saturday.
Tonight is the first of three birthday bashes this week
