A Late Night Weekend

After lunch with Julia on Friday I did some homework then had Elise over to my apartment to make some plans for our upcoming trip. We booked all of our hostels so we knew where we would be sleeping. After dinner I met up with Elise and Liz for a drink at Rubia and Negra. Nell and Jane stopped by for a little, but Elise had to leave to go meet up with some other friends and Liz was going to spend some time with her boyfriend, so I walked and then took a bus to the residencia to hang out with some friends there. Once there I realized that we were going out to a club for a girl on my programs birthday. We got there around 2am, were able to cut the line (not sure how) and got in quickly. The club was really fun, and had an outdoor patio area right on the water. It was a beautiful night so it was nice to dance and be outside. We were there a long time, and Elise even showed up to meet us there. We left around 5am, and Sarah Lauren and I decided we wanted some food. We hopped into a cab and asked him to take us to a cafe that was still open. We ended up only a few blocks away from their building, but it was the worst food I have had since in Buenos Aires. By the time we left, I got home around 6.35am as the sun was fully out for the morning. As I walked in a ran into my host father reading the newspaper and enjoying his morning coffee. He said good-morning, I said good-night and went off to bed.

Saturday I got some work done for my classes and relaxed. I watched Argentina's World Cup qualifying game against Bolivia which they won 3-0. For dinner I met up with my friend Raija for dinner at this really good Indian place. After dinner she went to finish some homework and I took a bus over to Plaza Serrano to meet up with some GW kids to celebrate Deepa's 21st birthday. We all met at Congo, a very cool upscale bar with a cool outdoor patio. I had a fun night there talking with GW kids that I had not really known well before. I split a cab home with some people and got home around 4.20am. It was another long night.

Sunday I woke up early and got more reading for classes done. After some lunch I met up with Nick to go to the Alamo, an ex-pat bar that shows all the football games. I went and had a blast watching the JETS beat the Steelers in a great close game. We ended up staying for the first half of the patriots game that night as well. I got home and was exhausted from a later weekend.

Today I handed in a paper and took my final exam for my culture class. I have a few papers to write, a Spanish exam next week, and a presentation Friday and then I am done till next semester. This semester is coming to an end, and it all seems very fast. Hopefully Ill get a better grasp of it this week.

Also, everyone be safe if you are traveling this week for Thanksgiving!
