Love this nail polish color

I was going to add more to the last post, but the pictures made it really long, so I decided to break them  up, which is inconvenient, because I have to think of another title. Wasn't prepared for this. Just so you guys know, sometimes, these blogs don't go up until days later, because I can't think of a title. But let's get to it.

Soooo, the count down to Farriggs girlfriend coming to visit is less than a week now. It's the most anticipated event of the semester lol and the guest list is very exclusive. I'm on it. We're all really excited to meet her, because Farriggs is super cool. When you guys get to know someone, aren't you interested in what the person they're dating would be like? Especially if they've been dating for a while. Not like those couples who just use each other as jewelry. The only downside is we're going to the most expensive restaurant on earth to meet her, but I hear they have good food, so it should be fun.

Sometimes, when we have spare time, the American students sit downstairs and complain about the cleaning ladies. And we end up downstairs because we've been put out of our rooms by the cleaning ladies. It's funny, because it's like the best problem a person can have, but we find it so annoying because we're not used to it. It's so hilarious, the lengths we go through to avoid them. They come and clean your room every single day. My room does not get that dirty to where I need someone else to come straighten up my things every day. And sometimes they mix up my thing's with Lydia's. So we sit around an exchange stories. Some of them are pretty notable. One time, I heard them rolling the cart down the hallway and knocking on some doors (the anticipation is the worst) so I went into the bathroom and turned on the water to pretend to shower, and they knocked, but then went away. (Victory!) I went out to run some errands that day, came back a few hours later and my room had been cleaned "..." Farriggs' biggest issue is that they don't come at the same time every day. So, you can't even plan your day around it. So, sometimes they'll come at 11 in the morning, but sometimes it'll be 5 in the noon, but one time they went to his room at like 9 am. lol. He was so upset. Then he tried to explain one time that he doesn't need his room cleaned (I've tried that too), so they left, then a few minutes later, he got a call from the front desk "Alexander, you have to let them clean your room". It was hilarious. Then Nick, who gets drunk during the week, sent them away twice one morning, because he couldn't get up, then the third time just said forget it, and told them to just clean around him while he slept on the bed.

Other notable news is, I found another internship. I don't know too much right now, but ask me for details later. I start next week. I think this one is serious. Apparently, Argentine students think Americans are suckers for doing any free work for "experience", but that's how the system works in the states. Internships aren't really a thing here, and I feel like that's the main reason I'm able to find so many. I've gotten two internships and had four interviews so far. In the states I'm crying every day, because employers use my resume as company toilet paper.

And, finally, I'm considering changing up my scene for the last two months to see if I can maybe branch out and meet some new people. I was thinking of joining a gym outside of the neighborhood and with the internship, hopefully I can meet some people there. So we'll see.

*Sometimes I find myself translating from Spanish, or using Spanish grammatical structures in English.
*I bought Fight Club in Spanish, for reading practice and a copy of GQ.
*Looking forward to seeing everyone back in the staytez.
