...

ive been away for awhile because:
1) no time to write
2) dont feel like writing.


BECAUSE...im getting depressed about leaving. and writing about my experiences doesnt really help. even though i know im going to read my blog over and over when i get back, to remember. but still, the days go by so fast, even faster the months. i try not to think about leaving and try to enjoy every second that im here (even when im bored to death in school), but its hard. the only thing that pops up in my mind is june 26th. these weeks in school ive been spending a lot of time with my fellow classmates in the lab. we´re doing an experiment on all the bakeries of my city (there are 70). we have to by bread from each one and then we do an experiment to see if that bakery uses an ilegal substance called potasium bromide...it can cause cancer but it makes the texture and flavor of the bread more appealing. so far weve done the experiment 10 times, only 2 showed up negative. i actually really like doing the experiment. at the end of the year theres a national science fair. last year my school got third place in all of argentina. also in my nutrition class we´re learning about conservation. so we´re doing a lot of pickling. today we made pears conserved in sugar. i like that too. were also going to make noodles. in my social life, well, it mostly consists of maxi. we do everything together. friday was workers day, meaning that everyone who works has the day off. in other words, nothing is open and its the most boring day of the year. not even the supermarkets open. this weekend i didnt go out dancing or anything. its getting cold and i dont really feel like getting all dressed up to freeze my butt off all night. but stilll, i enjoy weekends to be with my mom, re connect with myself and all that. time to relax. i also am dying to go out with GIRLS, but i dont really see rocio very often and its kind of like shes moved on and is hanging out with girls more her age. so. yeah. and the girls in my class are very immature. nice girls, but outside of school its hard to be myself and i have to act like a 14 year old to get along with them. on saturday i cut my hair SHORT...everyone likes it so it helps me get used to it to. one girl in my class wants to cut her hair like me too. other than that, im planning to go on a trip somewhere before i leave. i also want to have a going away party. so much to do, so little time. im going to go study for my oral exam now. chau,

not dead

hola....sorry i havent written. number one last week was crazyness at school. i had about three million tests. today i gave a presentation on the effects of noise on our health. i think i did well. plus ive been a little bit depressed lately and havent really felt like writing anything. my mom says that ive been "absent" these few weeks. i honestly have no idea whats wrong with me or why i feel sad, but its true. i go to school, go home, go to school, go to sleep. maybe its because im thinking a lot about me leaving. who knows. on saturday maxi and i will celebrate our 3 month anniversary. how sweet. since ive been away from the blog we got into our first fight in which maxis mom totally took my side and scolded maxi for making me cry. hahahahaha. but everything is okay now. i finally reconciled with rocio. last friday we went out together for the first time in a long time. it was really nice to be with her again. i missed her. also this saturday a new club opèns so everyone is excited about that. it sucks not having money, or a camera. anywho, the girls at school im also started to get along with, although they are very fake and very expressive. when theyre happy, the scream. when theyre angry, they scream even louder. i get some bad headaches in school. for example on tuesday when we were supposed to get out early from school but the secretary had made a mistake, you have no idea the fuss they made about that. some of them grabbed their backpacks and left. how daring. well , thats about it for now. hope everything is going well .. chau

got robbed

yes, on thursday i got robbed. was walking on the sidewalk. listening to music. a motorbike came behind me and snatched my purse with my camara in it. so that was just a great start to my holy week. on friday i went to a birthday party with maxi. on saturday it was maxis ex girlfriends birthday so he went to visit her for a little bit, then we went to base. of course we didnt realize neither of us had any money for the taxi back, being that he gets paid this friday and i got robbed so i dont have any money, so we had to WALK BACK. we left at 6 AM and i arrived at my house at 8. so that was just great. then being that this sunday we celebrated easter my mom woke me up at 1:30 to eat. and then we ate chocolate eggs. and thats all. today i went back to school. i have a little cold. this morning i went on a field trip to see a play about the Falkland Islands. April 2nd we didnt have school to comemorate all of the young people that died fighting to keep the Falkand Islands. IT was a very bloody and unfair battle and the Argentineans still consider the Falklands (here Islas Malvinas) still belong to argentina. anyway since last night i was up coughing i fell asleep during the play. then i was in school all afternoon. i have to give a presentation on thursday and i have a test on friday :/
maxi got sick today. he came by my house and said he just got back from the doctor that gave him two injections in his booty. hahahahahaha

holy week

today is monday. i only have three days of school this week because this week is holy week. holy thursday and holy friday. so no one is allowed to go out these days. and im like, what about the people that arent religious? oh well. this weekend was fun. on friday i didnt go out, my throat hurt and it was really cold. on saturday i played board games with maxi and then we watched silent hill, disgusting. then we went to base. his dad was working on saturday so we got in free :)
today is maxis ex girlfriends birthday, so he went over to wish her a happy birthday blah blah blah...........tomorrow i get out of school early because there is a teachers reunion. wednesday i have a psychology quiz. the grading system is you can get a one out of ten no matter how many questions there. so you if you get 100% its a 10. and i got a 9.25 in my ailments class and a 10 in my labor environments class! so yay me. my grandma came back from buenos aires, shes staying here until she decides if shes going to rent a house in venado or go back to buenos aires. right now i have a house full of boys. my three brothers and their friends. ugh. i think its about time for me to go buy more paper for school. oh and on saturday i made a SPECTACULAR cake for maxi and his family and his mom said it was delicious. she loves me. :) and according to maxi shes never liked ANY of maxis girlfriends............muahahahahahahahaha. ok. nothing else for now. chau

tired

hi ppl. basically school has me tied down. ive taken three tests tomorrow i have another one. im in my friends house and i havent studied and im freaking out. still fighting with rocio but everything is better with mariano. plus my mom told me that my brothers are going to live with their dad now, we´ll see if that happens. anywho, there are two more kids from the US here in my city, one i met through a friend, and the other i was shopping and i heard her accent and started cracking up. so thats news. super tired. saturday i went out. after i went to maxis house and his mom made us breakfast. and then i went home. friday i watched the daddy yankee movie at ricardos house. right now im at daianas house, she was in the same class as me last year but she repeated. were about to eat pizza. im trying to study, i really dont have any more energy to do anything school related. at least we have thursday off. and next week is holy week so we have thursday and friday off. i remember when i went to peru that holy week was really amazing. so im excited. what else.....not much. im going sight seeing up north of argentina in may. otherwise everything is good with my brothers and my mom and stuff. i sold mariano my cell phone and bought myself a new one. so he is really really happy about that. the only bad thing is the fight im in with rocio, but i dont really have time to think about her. i dont even have time to think what im going to do 5 minutes from now.

me mata me mata

sorry ive been away for awhile, ive been busy with school. i started tango, i love it! its a lot of fun, especially with maxi. we laugh a lot. school, socially wise, is a lot better. i get along with everyone and the girls too. so its good to finally have girlfriends. tomorrow is one of their birthdays so im going to her party. so im getting invited to places and stuff so thats good. becuase im in a fight with rocio. Because basically she left me alone on saturday with all my money and then texted me an hour later that she wanted to go dancing, and im like NO, im in my house sleeping thanks to you. so i havent talked to her since. what else......not much. school isnt that hard but its TIRING. man, and right now im really nervous because i cant get ahold of maxi and im in an internet cafe and its friday night and i want to go out...hahaha. oh and on tuesday i got into a huge fight with one of my brothers and now he wont talk to me. i dont know. sometimes i want to leave but other times i really dont. very confusing. hope everything is well in the US....nos vemoss chau

sucks. i am in school all day. usually from 8 am until 12 then 1:30 until 6:30. so yay. school sucks. and it occupies all of my life. after school i see maxi, and nothing else. oh well. im still happy. anywho, tomorrow i start tango with maxi!!! hahaha luckily i was able to fit that into my schedule. i havent seen rocio since monday. we kind of have conflicting schedules. she works until 10 pm. so i probably wont see her all week. otherwise nothing else has been going on. just school school school!!!! and without reason because these next few months of classes dont do anything for me. but oh well. i have a psychology class that i really like. the problem is now that we are seniors they give us really heavy and detailed subjects, focued on the sciences of course, so its hard for me to understand. i have one subject called ailments. all about food and nutrients and stuff. i have for 4 hours a week!!! ugh. i have another class where we are learning about human rights. stuff like that. very specific. i have another class, labor environments?? not really sure what thats all about, or ecology of urban and rural environments??? WHATEV. im outtie. have to look up information for ailments so we can copy it down monday.
