But he did.

Today was my last Wednesday morning class, woo woo! Class was chill and I gave the teacher a little thank you note at the end and that was a cute moment. I realized that was my last time ever seeing those classmates (besides Loli) and that was a woah moment.


Loli and I went to Cafe Martínez after and were ripped off. I ordered the same incredible wrap I got last time, but they didn't bring me dip this time and the wrap was only half full. I want my money back. Oh well. At least I wrote a whole page and a half while I was there!

I walked over to IFSA early so that Cassie and I could get ice cream. Screw eating healthy, there was the classic 2x1 Wednesday deal. I tried the Snickers flavor for the first time and that was no mistake. God it was good! And only 50 pesos!

Did you miss seeing photos of my ice cream?? No?? Too bad, here's some more.


During my IFSA class, we just worked on the essay the entire time. I was shockingly productive and wrote an introduction paragraph and the outline for my paper. Swag on emmmm. This girl offered me a snack during class and I have no idea why I was the chosen one to receive this gift but I wasn't about to refuse that offer. Ate it up.

After class, I went to Parque Las Heras and a group of us played ping-pong and hung out like last week. We brought a speaker and mate to drink and it was super chill. I found out that one of the guys plays basketball every week and I am gonna play with him tomorrow - so excited!!

Julie and I walked home together around 7:15pm and from 7:45pm until dinner I worked out in my room and naturally watched some food videos. Clarisa ordered a pizza tonight and it was so fricken good. The pizzas here always come with whole green olives on top and it may be my favorite part...

At 9:30pm, Cassie and I walked over to Cinemark Palermo to see A Star is Born! We were worried there wouldn't be any seats left but bless up, there were. We met another girl on our program, Mary, at the movie and the 3 of us watched it together.

It is an understatement to say I cried during that movie. I aggressively sobbed. At one point I was worried I would actually cry out loud and be heard by the theater. I held it together. But wow. Bradley Cooper did not have to do it to us like that...

As we were leaving the theater, sure enough the couple next to us left a half of a massive bucket of popcorn behind and, well, it's ours now. I am crying in the third pic.

Raise your hand if you got free popcorn!

The movie ended around 12:30am and we walked home. I'm not really sure how it came to be 2:15am but here we are...


When I got home, I received news that a student at Davidson College, my college, was discovered to be a neo-Nazi, white supremacist, anti-LGBTQ, and just entirely racist person. All of her social media accounts were found and the horrible things she said were exposed. I felt sick. I feel unsafe when I think about being on my own campus... I had a class with her, I can't believe it. There's some sick people out there, some really sick people. Gotta keep fighting for what's right.


Goodnight my people, be kind.
