Another Monday

I think I'm getting better at Salsa! I was able to do lots of new steps today, it was pretty exciting. I had a really nice partner who was just slightly beyond my level. This was perfect because he was able to lead me reasonably confidently but also didn't get impatient with my mistakes. His name is Diego and he goes to the Santa María. Hopefully I can dance him next time too.

I have so much work lately. Argh. For Wedesday I have a turn-in essay plus an in class essay test. On Thursday I have a test for the Chemistry unit of my Oceanography that's 25% of our grade. Oh, and then by the following Wedesday I'm supposed to have read two books to have a test on them. Two books!!! That's going to take me alllllllllllll weekend long.

Today was pretty fun. I had a great time talking to Dylan! He just got back from visiting Grinnell and is leaving for Tokyo on Thursday.

I've been really impatient and jumpy lately. Isn't it supper time yet? Why isn't the time till the next weekend going more quickly? Why can't it be time to go to La serena? Can't it be spring yet? And what about Buenos Aires? How much longer until I can actually speak Spanish the way I want to? And I want to see my parents and Dylan. And get back to Grinnell. And then go to Russia! There is so much going on right now, so many things to look forward to over the long term. Its very distracting. But in a good way : )
