El Lavado

¡HOLA! So today was a good/bad day. It was bad when I heard that Hugo Chavez (who I didn't have strong opinions about) got reelected, and not only did he get reelected, but he passed a referendum so that he can be in office for an unlimited amount of terms. Soo...needless to say, that's pretty bad because extremes are bad. But otherwise it was really a good day. The highlight that made me laugh a ton was when I called the Lavadería and I understood everything she was saying on the phone, except when she asked for my name and I thought she asked for my number. So the conversation pretty much went like this:

La Sra: ¿Y qué es el nombre? (And what's the name?)

Yo: ¿Mi numero? Bueno no sé exactamente...un momento, no recuerdo...ammm okay cuarenta veinte nueve...(pausa de más o menos 5 segundos) (My number? Well I don't no exactly, one moment I don't remember oh okay here it is 40 29...) There was a five second pause so she did think I was crazy.

La Sra (interrumpido): ¡No! ¿Qué es el NOMBRE? (No! What's your NAME??)

Yo: OHH! Ammm lo siento, es Julia. (Oh I'm sorry, it's Julia)

Anyway she prolly thought I was on crack because I said I didn't know my name. LOL. I almost peed my pants when I found out I did that. Soo embarassing.

Okay I hope you thought that was funny. If not sorry. I'm no comedian. Anyway, I went to the grocery store with Marcela to get sandwich meat for lunch this whole week. Mmmmmmmm and much cheaper. I got cured ham and something else plus cheese and bread. I also got Pringles (pronounced Preen gless) which is hilarious.

On Sunday I went to the Feria de San Telmo and I bought postcards and a cute little poster thing (but really small). I eventually want an Argentine flag (a big one) to put in my room when I go back to the states.

Last week...what did I do? Hmm I went out to lunch one day with friends, and really pretty much just went home after school.

Tomorrow I'm going to a Leather Factory which should be a blast. Hopefully I don't spend too much. Well that's all for now!!!!

Un besito,

Julieta (July)
