For the Record...

I realize that I may give the impression that all I ever do is travel and go to cafés and sing on the streets and let my hair flow in the wind, but this is (oh so sadly...) not the case. Turns out the "study" part in "study abroad" is a real thing, which is completely unreasonable.

But I'll have you know:

1) I read an almost-300 page novel in Spanish in a week and a half.

2) Last week I used the word "trifurcation" in a Spanish presentation.

3) I have spent most the weekend studying for a midterm I have tonight which is going to be LAUGHABLY hard. It's on interregional economic integration, ecoefficiency and design, direct foreign investments, and free trade agreements. Let's talk about how I know nothing about those in English.
If you take into account that two months ago I didn't know Mercosur existed (much less Comunidad Andina, SICA, Caricom, etc.), and that I didn't even know how to say "investments" in Spanish... this is... going to be interesting. I'm just hoping sympathy foreigner points are a thing. Sólo tengo que aprobar. Sólo tengo que aprobar. Sólo tengo que aprobar.
(I do, however, know how to say "Estoy en el horno. En serio, estoy jodida." though, which has to be worth something.)

Also I just found this, and this is the story of Buenos Aires... 

But guess what after this midterm nightmare is over, I have one day to pack and then we're hopping on a plane to BARILOCHE! That's in Patagonia. It has mountains and lakes and cold and I'm so looking forward to it.

See you on the other sideeee :]
