I'll start with Wednesday. Actually earlier than that, Monday I have class until late, but, Tuesday after class got out at 10, I went out to a lomo (sandwich) place for dinner and chatting in Spanish and that was fun. I had French fries with scrambled eggs on top. It was amazing. And then I got home and the family was like where were you and stop opening the doors so loudly. I obviously fail spectacularly at opening doors correctly in the house here, they have yelled at me 5 times in the last week alone.
Wednesday after school I went downtown with Michelle intending to go to a theater production (since I had to for homework). And she was like sure I'll go with you which was great because it ended up being a part of town I didn't need to be alone in at 9pm. But when we got to the theatre it was sold out so we just went to the park and ate ice cream!
After my one class on Thursday (so great) I went downtown again to get into the theatre this time and i nearly didnt make it in. I was the last one they let in and I had gotten there an hour and a half before it started. But, I saw the theater production, which was awful (like the worst play I've seen in my life), but I can write a paper about how bad it was no problem.
Today, I finished packing for my weekend in Iguazu, and then went to exchange some dollars for pesos in the most sketchy place. So I met with this old woman, Francesca I think, 'selling plants' from a little kiosk thing and she directed me to this shop on the other side of the street with a super faded sign (to the point I couldn't read it). So I walk in and it looks abandoned, or like it should be for rent, but then behind a door I saw some shadowy figures moving around, and one of them opened the door so I walk right in like I'm supposed to be there and I knew what I was doing. And the guy was just like what are you doing. And I was like changing dollars? And he gave me a debatably creepy smilie and said sure, follow me. They had definitely tried to make the offices look like offices when you go to the bank but they were just a little too empty. But everything went fine. They took my dollars, gave me an excellent exchange rate. So I went back to the house and ate lunch, grabbed my bag, and left. I was proud of myself for taking the bus to the airport. It required a change of busses and a bus I had never taken before but I made it in plenty of time.
I did fail with Movistar and the phone but I'm still working on that and as soon as I get Internet I'm sure I can figure it out. So I'm writing this on the airplane which is
actually not a bad airplane, I was expecting something alot more rickety.
But now I'm in iguazu with the fam! Excited for this weekend!
