Game Time!

Well it is game time here in Buenos Aires, no, not soccer game time, but Ana writes her ISP in record time game time. I just finished up a meeting with my advisor and promised her a finished (although rough) copy of my ISP by Thursday (yes not tomorrow, but the next day). You may be shaking your head thinking, no she can't do it, but I must. This is because we are writing our final papers all in Spanish and it is required that our advisor reads through it to check for our grammar mistakes so that our director who gives us or grades in Chile doesn't have to deal with grammer issues when grading. This will be incredibly helpful when I hand the paper in to UPS for credit (they will think I am brilliant) but not helpful that I have to finish this thing up in the next two days. And on top of this deadline nearing I am fairly positive I will not be able to get any work done on Thursday because I will be mourning the lack of my dad's turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, apple raspberry pies, and of course missing my family. But to try and combat this looming sadness the 5 of us who are still in Buenos Aires will be going back to Sigue La Vaca for a delicious meat filled meal...it will be tastey but not like home :(.
Although I have just less than one week left here in Buenos Aires, things are really feeling like they are starting to come to an end, and every time I sit down to dinner with my mom and dad here they sadly remind me that this will be the last time I eat breakfast on a tuesday with them. !Que triste! (how sad)...and oddly being told this at every meal is not getting old...I am really going to miss them too.
Obviously I am sitting at a cafe right now, with my half eaten ice cream next to me trying to think of more things to write about so I don't have to get back to writing this paper but I am running out of anything interesting to say...so I will go and try to keep plugging for just a little longer...I am fairly certain tomorrow will be a rough day scrambling to get things done.

Sending all the love I have back to the states and wishing everyone safe travels this week!
Ana
