ah....lunes

so Sunday was weird then great. I had to meet my paper writing partner at a Starbucks in Belgrano, not my choice, twas hers. Anyways, Belgrano is a really nice neighborhood with your usual bunch of high class snobs, add to that the fact that it is STARBUCKS, capitalismo capitalismo capitalismo. Anyways, I hate being in places like that, so not me and I hate it. I got there and just wanted to start pushing put out of the way, they were trapping me in and surrounding me, I hated it. I feel like I'm drowning in social situations like that. To add to the fact, that girl was there with some other FLACSO girls and she didnt bother to save me a seat. So I was standing there, already awkward, then add to that the fact that I don't have a chair..hmm....awkward standing pursues...

Whatever, she had it all figured out and I was out of there within the hour. I got home and Colby called and said they were still in San Telmo, so I took the subte down there and had a snack with them. Then we walked to the Kiosco where Colby's new guy works. This is the same one who picked me up and spun me around at the club. I hadn't seen him since there, but he had one of those stupid smirks on when he did see me. idk, something urks me about this guy....but Colby's into him so can't say anything.

We left them there and Kristina and Natasha and I continued up Defensa, came across a band playing and people. So we opened up a botella de vino and joined the rest of the artesanos there and drank and were merry with them. SO MUCH FUN!!! Then the police drove right threw so the band stopped. We proceeded up Defensa some more and came across a small outdoors milonga and all these cute couples dancing tango. It was absolutely beautiful. jajaja and some old man came over and offered us free tango lessons if we would teach him english, then he asked for my name and I told him and the creeper was like, "Oh Cristal, tenemos q cuidarla, ver q no se quebra!" jajaja smooth man...whatevs...Colby joined us and we bought some food from vendors, it was gorgeous, then we all had to pee so we found a cafe and snacked and such.

Twas a good night.

Today was meh for the most part, errands, casas de cambio, and such. A bit of studying and planning to go to iguazu. I got to finally talk to Shanon and hear from her, that wasn't too happy for me. I'm just scared of having to deal with so much change when I go back, changes in my family, changes in relationships, it's all so scary.

Whatevs, but I also got to talk to Kim, then my mom and robert, and that was good. While I was talking to the familia, Eduardo, the kid from Avantt started texting me and asking me what I was up to. He was inquiring as to our cafe date and asking when I was free and such. Turns out he's a busy man, works at night, then organizing community theatre that centers around pointing out social problems. Yes, then after I hung up with the familia, he called me and FML, I get so nervous!!! Seriously, he was talking it up and telling me all about his amazing theatre aspirations about calling out social injustices and mobilizing people through theatre, and there I am unable to make coherent sentences. BLAH!!!! why!!! He probably thought I was so stupid or so disinterested or so apathetic, but no I swear you're super cool I just get nervous! kfaldskfjaldkfja whatevs, but we have plans to try to hang out sometime this week before I leave for Iguazu this Friday...hopefully that goes well!
