I didn’t think it was possible, but I have actually done less today than yesterday. Hard to believe, I know. It’s true, though, I’ve literally done nothing today and it’s almost seven (everyone needs a day like this every once in a while, right? Or maybe two or three…). No, I take that back…I have done something—I swept my room earlier! Some may find this fact disgusting, so brace yourself…but the truth is it’s the first time I’ve swept since I arrived here three weeks ago! I believe that I did not inherit the clean gene…I’m not like my mom or grandma—hardcore Queens of Clean! You can stop cringing now though, it actually wasn’t that dirty, just a few dust bunnies here and there.

The whole reason I’ve been lazy today is probably because we didn’t get back (from the bars…that’s about all there is to do here) until after four this morning and I didn’t actually make it to bed until right about five! My voice has kind of been hit-and-miss the last few days, but by the time we got back last night/this morning, my voice was reduced to a series of squeaks (it’s better today, but I’m still squeakin’ quite a bit). I was laughed at by Gunita and Will. It was funny, though. I tried asking Gunita something like four times at one point and she was like “I can’t understand you!” It wasn’t anything important, at least. Sacrificing my voice was worth it though…the night was really fun…

Javi came over at 8:30 and thus began our conversational hours. We walked around Socu for maybe 30ish minutes and then went to Cuatro Estaciones (Four Seasons) bar. We were there for a couple of hours and then were joined by his friend Moises (super nice, btw, he spoke slowly for me!). We spent a couple more hours there and then Jesús popped in and we went to La Comba and met up with some others (including the roomies, who showed up around one). People slowly trickled out and Gunita wanted to go somewhere with a better dancing atmosphere, but Javi and I were still talking (about everything—music [The Cranberries…dad that’s for you!], family, TV, Franco, Obama, ETA, you name it, we probably talked about it!) so Jesús, Gunita and Will left and went to Bianco about 2:30. We were probably there for another hour and met up with them at Moma. At that point, I was getting tired and therefore I stood around and watched them play darts. We weren’t there too terribly long and then left.

I believe the others were talking about going to dinner tonight, so I imagine it’ll be another late one—seeing as how we probably won’t go until 11 or 12, eat for an hour and a half-ish and (I’m guessing!) visit the bars once more after that. I’m not complaining, though. Last night was the first time I’ve been out in a week, because of my constant caca-like feeling…it’s nice to be social again!

Xoxo,
