Weekend

When Marjorie came back from Santiago the other night and asked me about what I'd done this week, I had a hard time remembering, even. I guess I haven't been up to much, or much interesting stuff at least. I had 500+ pages of reading for last week and I have two papers and a test for this week. I bought Rayuela and Cien Años de Soledad for a couple of bucks each and am starting to read them for my Literature class. Oceanography continues to be great, though we got an old, mumbly teacher for the marine geology unit, instead of the biology and chemistry unit teacher, who perfectly ennunciated every world. But still, I love that class. Maybe if I were a Chilean student who actually had to come out of college with a profession (instead of this wishy-washy liberal arts crap) I would have studied oceanography. We've been learning about plankton, deep water fish, whales, jellyfish, all kinds of cool stuff.

I hung out with a bunch of people last night at Carla's and had an amazing time. When I was there I realized how stressed out I'd been all week and how much I needed to be around people and unwind. I definitely talked some people's ears off : ) It had been a lonely week.

I bought my tickets for Buenos Aires yesterday! I'm going to try to see Cady (from Urban) while I'm there.

After studying most of the day today, now I'm going to curl up in bed with my lonely planet and a cup of tea... : )
