I´ll do a quick update for yesterday and hopefully get my pictures up for all these blogs if my computer is ever fixed. First of all, after class yesterday, I got my right ear triple peirced and my left ear double pierced. For the most part, I feel no pain, but my piercing in the cartiledge REALLY hurts. I can´t wait for the pain to go away. I´ll put up pictures when my computer is better.
Afterward, I went with a friend to the prettiest book store in Latin America. I´ve posted two pictures for you. It was in an old theater that was beautifully restored and all the 5 levels had books, DVDs, and other things to purchase. In the stage area was a cafe with live jazz music. It was absolutely gorgeous.
Following the bookstore, my friend Clarissa and I left to head home since it was about 8pm. Suddenly, the sky split open and it poured. And poured. And poured. We ran for a cover in the nearest cafe. While the streets flooded and the resturant workers fretted as the water seeped closer and closer the restaurant doors from the lack of proper draining in the streets, we sipped coffee and chit-chatted. Finally, the downpour slowed enough to a sprinkle so we ran the four blocks to the subte (metro) and were home by 9:30.
After a delicious supper of vegetable lasagna, I headed out with some friends to a bar called Salvame Maria (Save Me Maria) that is a few blocks from my house. We had a good night chit chatting but were not at all fond of the ¨Happy Hour¨two for one drinks that were so disgusting we hardly wanted the second drink... We happily munched on the popcorn they served before heading home for a night of sleep.
Today, as usual, was 5 more hours of Spanish class. I received a paper back as well as my midterm (a total of 50% of my grade), and received 9s on each of them, which is an A, so I´m fine with that. Hopefully I´ll do well enough on the final two exams to end with a good grade in the course.
