I would give today a solid 8 out of 10. Productive and mostly eventful overall.

Trying to kick some pigeons. Not actually, but trying to get them the F out of my lane.

I had incredibly vivid dreams last night, to the point where I legitimately thought the events happened and texted people about them, only to send a text a few minutes later saying, "Wait oh my god, that was my dream." Anyway, reading a book before bed seemed to help me sleep better throughout the night so I'm going to try to make a habit of that.


When I woke up, I resumed reading the new novel because I thought it'd be a relaxing way to start my day - and it was! I got to work on my final presentation about 3 chapters later and that was swell. Presenting on what you've written about isn't that hard because you've already written it and know what to say, it's just a bit tedious and the thought of presenting isn't that fun.


At 12:30pm, Cassie and I went for a run and I decided to start doing the workouts from this summer twice a week. Today was the first one and it went so well! I was so relieved because I was worried that maybe I was out of shape, but it turns out I'm not really! I also realized I missed work out days... what can I say, I'm a #runnerd.

From 1:30pm until I left for class at 3:20pm, I ate lunch (beans / lentils again) and worked on the presentation. When I got to UBA, I saw these posters mocking Trump and enjoyed them. I thought the first picture was trying to call him a fishbrain lol but Julie thought those were torpedoes and not fishies... let me know what you think. Pretty ironic and tragic that Trump is coming to Argentina for the G20 Summit. I came here to avoid you, bro. Don't follow me.


I have never in my life paid so little attention to a class. Julie and I turned in our paper today so there was literally no point in us being there. I doodled in my journal, made a packing list for Chile, ate a banana, fiddled around on my phone... anything to make the wretched time in classroom HU204 go by faster.

The subway home was super super crowded, which I haven't dealt with in a while, and I was sweating up a storm. Just my luck, it broke down about 100 meters from my stop. It finally got going again after a few minutes of all of us just roasting in that underground tunnel and I was free at last.


Clarisa had somewhere to be tonight so she left me dinner and I ate it at 7:30pm, earlier than I've ever eaten here. Reminded me of those good times in the U S of A when I ate at hours that actually made sense...

After dinner, I did an extended lift routine in my room which had me sweeeaaaatin'. I also sprayed a TON of Raid in my bathroom because I am so sick of the bugs that invade my room and my bathroom. I removed my toothbrush so that I wouldn't be inadvertently brushing my teeth with Raid lol and I hope nothing else got contaminated.


For the rest of the night, I am going to finish typing my presentation, put it all on Google slides, write a thank you note to my teacher, and maybe go on a walk. By this time tomorrow I will be completely done with my semester!!!!!!


Turn up.
