This is SO WEIRD. I have 10 days left in Buenos Aires and 18 left in Argentina. Time is flying by so quickly and I can't stop it!!
Since it started becoming close to the end, I've been out and about in the city more and more and am getting less and less sleep. I just can't justify staying in and sleeping when I could be going out and exploring the city, meeting people, going to different bars / clubs, etc since I have so little time left. I've done a lot recently in terms of going to see everything in Buenos Aires that I have on my to do list but haven't yet got around to doing. It's definitely weird trying to plan out what my last days are going to be like; as of yesterday (sunday) I had alaready planned out what I was doing during the day most days this week and what I was doing at night from Wednesday to Saturday. I can't believe I have to start packing all my stuff in a week so that I'm all ready for when I get back from Patagonia to leave the country.
Besides from freaking out about leaving so soon, the past couple weeks have been really great. I've had a lot of finals in school so far, which I think have gone pretty well! I get back some of my grades this week so hopefully I'm right about that one. I have two oral presentations this week (and its the last week of classes!!) and then next week I have two papers due right before I leave on my trip. In one of my classes I found out I got really good grades on our first two assignments, but then found out that neither one of those grades actually counts. For a lot of classes here, the midterm grade is only so you can find out if you pass or not in order to take the final, and the final grade is the only grade for the entire class. I really don't like this system because it literally puts the entire weight of the class on just the final and all the midterms I've done well in basically mean nothing.
The weather here has gotten really nice!! It's in the 80's every day and sunny, and it's a really pleasant environment when it's so nice out! I've been laying out on my terrace and am getting a nice tan to return to the cold ass weather with. My two friends and I went on a bike ride the other day through the ecological reserve here, which was really nice and relaxing. I've been visiting more museums, famous streets and buildings, fairs, etc and have now almost completed everything on my to-do list.
I went to Creamfields Buenos Aires the other weekend, which was really fun! Creamfields is a worldwide electronic/house music festival, and they had 4 stages with tons of artists. David Guetta was the main artist to play, and when he was about to go on we got really close to the stage. Once he started, the crowd went so crazy that me and the girls I was with literally got lifted off our feet and taken it whatever direction the crowd was going. We couldn't move and it was really scary because we were literally sideways at some points. If someone had fallen down, they definitely would have gotten trampled by the crowd and died. We managed to fight our way out of there, which took a lot of time, and hung out around the outside of the crowd. In the craziness, me and 2 other girls each lost one of our shoes. We were all wearing sneakers, and it was so insane that they were taken off by the crowd craziness and there was no way we could go back to get them. We had to hop around the rest of the festival (for 5 more hours) without our shoes. At least I don't have to take them back to the US with me! Still overall a really fun night.
I'll probably only have one more blog post before I leave for my trip and then for back home. Craziness.
Que sé yo?
