Highlight of the day: Back to literature. We went to Raquel's house to watch Love in the Time of Cholera. Although it was a movie that showed a lot... I really liked it. It's sad, but it's a good movie. We were supposed to watch another but she couldn't find it. Then when we wanted to watch that movie, the image wouldn't show. Later her son arrived, Paulo, and helped us out with it. In the meantime we watched a bit of America's Next Top Model... wow it was great to watch something from back home. We ordered pizza from Domino's and used a coupon Raquel had - 2 pizzas and 1 soda for $17. It was good, but too bad the guy forgot to take the coupon. After the movie she asked us to read our homework. The homework was a poem for our loved one. Overall, Raquel's company was great and it was good to hang out with her. I can't say enough how good of a teacher she is.
She took us back home and we worked on our final presentations/paper some time. We went to Quicentro before dinner to buy a big t-shirt to cut it and make it into an off-shoulder shirt. This was for the 80's and 90's party we were invited to. Below is what we received through Facebook:

We had dinner, got ready for the party and went out.
Well, overall the party was honestly not fun for me. Although Yonseili and I danced a bit and interacted somewhat with others... I just wasn't feeling it. It was more for the drinking it seemed like, than for the dancing or whatever. There were bean bags we sat on, Yonseili and I had a mini balloon fight... uh... what else. When we wanted to go home, no one could tell us how to get a freakin' taxi. We waited a total of about 40 minutes to find Yonseili's ex-professor who owns the hostel to ask him for the number, and for the taxi to get there. Most people were 'out' by then...
Then we got home safely. That's always good.
it appears that some instructors are indeed committed to academic excellence and others may not be. too bad. good that it was the last class for that subject.
ReplyDelete'suppose a student gave a party and there was alcohol'....seems to be the theme to follow in student social life. like so many students in our university, they end up missing most of what they COULD experience from others.
glad that you got home safely.
