many many hours and many many bug bites later (my room is infected with something. or different things. I haven´t found Off, and I feel bad spraying the aerosal can insecticide my host mom bought for me in my room and keep the windows closed at the same time) I finished two MORE papers- this weekend was sociology and literature. for which I read sources in English (lots), spanish, french, and that portuguese book the soc prof assigned (more or less). I´m my biggest hero, at least for the night. Though when I told mom about Buenos Aires plans, she was all against my going (possibly) alone, and all excited when she located an old friend of hers in the phone book. It would be cheaper, sure, and I know she wants to make contact, but I was looking forward to tackling a big huge city all by my (maybe) self. and interacting with people I don´t know directly is really really hard for me. though if I DO do it on my own, I should probably at least get a map. sigh. I want to feel grown up, but part of that is knowing when to be practical. I´m bad at that.
But I finished TWO essays. My host mom apparently told my mom I spend a lot of time on the computer. their computer, as well as my computer. so which I say, though since she hasn´t approached ME about this, probably won´t ever say directly: when I wasn´t finding and downloading articles for my 5 papers, or uploading and optimizing photos for my "website", I was downloading badly needed updates for them. Considering she once turned off the computer mid download, I think this is lost. There really is no direct communication, and I don´t know how to bring up issues with them without feeling plaintive or petulant.
saw sed du mal (Touch of Evil, Orson Wells, Janet Leigh) with Dan friday night post sociology. then hung out at Paula´s mid asado. We started talking to this guy who bore a slight resemblance to Luke Wilson, then Dan left and I continued talking, then the girl next to him got up and started wandering around bored, and only THEN did he saw she was his fiancé, and despite the fact she was so ready to go home OTHER people (including me) where like, look, she wants to go, he kept on talking to me. so much for Chilean Luke Wilson look-alikes. finally I escaped inside, and read Barman and listened to Elliott Smith
