Buenos Aires has been really fun, but every time I think about my life here, it seems like an illusion. In some ways it is. In some ways, college in general is an illusion. Mostly, because a lot of us have the comforts of being a dependent student. Here, it's like, my friends are perfect, classes are leisurely, weather is nice. I'm not sure how to describe it, but life is unrealistically good right now. And I take advantage of it because I know it's short. Maybe living in one place too long makes room for too much comfort, and I should just become a nomad.
I've had a lot more opportunities to hang out with the girls lately and it's obviously been the time of my life. I don't have to tell you all how much I prefer the company of women (hence, moving into the all girls dorm sophomore year). They're like the perfect combination. Unfortunately, they leave in a month, and it'll be back to me hanging out with the guys, although not really, since one of them confessed that he liked me, and now he feels weird, so I don't really get invited anymore, I usually invite myself. I'm just going to have to find some hobbies, which I'm working on.
Sometimes, I think about when I'll come back to Buenos Aires, which I realized, translates to "good air". And I feel like I'll inevitably come back, and I would stay longer if it were continuous. But since I have to go home, then buy another plane ticket sometime in the future, might as well experience another place. I keep imagining coming back, and it being like Big Fish, where it's too late the second time. And I don't want to return hoping to have the same type of experience, because I know that isn't possible.
*I'm convinced that everyone in this city works out ... except for the men.
*Also, I finally found peanut butter, got really excited and finished off 85% of the jar in the first three days. So I've refrained from buying more.
Just some thoughts,
TB

You should become a nomad.

DeleteAlexis was laughing the whole time while typing her message and I think she, and Q., would get on a plane to join you if they could. We're all enjoying reading your postings and living the experience through them. Can't wait 'til you get home. We will have all types of food ready for you. Love, Auntie Nessa
ReplyDeleteI do wish you all could come out. it's very beautiful here. And interesting. Time is winding down. I'll be back soon.
DeleteI feel the same about London. So surreal.. I bet when I'm back in the US I'm going to not believe that I was even here. Insane.
ReplyDeleteLol, yeah. That's super weird. UM is so stressful/expensive. *sigh*
