This is probably the quickest I have ever started working on a paper after it was assigned--no procrastination here! My friend and I decided to head over to a bar right after class and get this assignment out of the way! We each had a glass of wine and a few tapas to share! We got the fried eggplant and honey, pisto, and patatas bravas! They were all sooo good! and I was glad to spend a meal at an authentic spanish tapas bar! The guy working there was really nice too! I explained that we had to drink some wine for our class and he even brought out the bottle so we could take a picture of it (because we needed to include that in our paper!)
After Tapas I did some walking and wandering around the central until I met my friend Maaren at the bus stop for our weekly adventure to Tres Mil Viviendas for volunteering! Something must have changed in the water in Tres Mil, because the kids were great this week! They actually WANTED to learn! It was so fantastic! However, one thing did make me a little sad/ disappointed. I was working with one girl who was 16 and we were talking and she said she wanted to be a nurse, but then went on to say how that's a lot of work and years in school and she didn't want to do all of that. It's so sad that the motivation is not there for some of these kids, they know no better than what they've seen. They need to see a success story in order to know that if they work hard they can accomplish whatever they want!
After volunteering I headed off to my least favorite class-- finance. After 90 minutes of my teacher rambling on, jumping around to random pages, and basically having no control over our class I was so glad that the weekend had finally arrived. So, I went to grab some more wine with some girls from my class.
Moral of the day: You can never have too much wine.
