Today I had my ethnography class again in the morning. Then I went home. I was going to run some errands and just kinda wander around, but as soon as I left Larissa texted me that she was in the area, so we met up and got pizza.
After pizza we walked around the area. We walked past a bird store (a bird store only, not a pet store or exotic animal store). The birds were so loud. I took a picture for my mom because she hates birds <3
We also walked by a bookstore and I had to go in. I got this book even though I'm an ebook girl. But they don't have a digital copy at the library, it was only 5 euros, and we studied this writer last semester in my literature class.
Then we met up with some other kids at the Matadero. I never went last semester. It used to be a slaughterhouse; now it's a park/arts space.
The Matadero is cool, but there's really nothing to do there, so we left and went to the mall right by it pretty quickly. We hung out there for awhile.
I stayed after everyone else left because I was teaching my English class and it was so close by that there really any sense in going somewhere else because I'd just have to turn around again. I sat and ate ice cream and called my grandma for a little before going to English class.
English class was good! It was my first session back after break. I like talking to the kids. We really just hang out, as I've said I don't really feel like I'm teaching them at all. Beltrán was studying though so I didn't get to talk to him :(
After English class I came back home and ate a granola bar really fast because I went to a movie at 9:30 with Rose and Jisenia. There's a movie theatre right by our apartment, and Jisenia and I have wanted to go since last semester. We told Rose and Alana about it, and Rose looked at the showings and saw they were screening a movie based on a Murakami novel. She's a (reluctant) Murakami fan, so she wanted to go, and we said we'd go with her.
I'll be real. I didn't like it. Had a bad time. Rose told me the run time was 179 minutes, but I didn't do the calculation in my head to figure out that was 3 hours until the opening credits happened like 45 minutes into the movie and I was like "Is it over?" Then I realized. And then I was like "Is it over?" three more times before it actually was. We got back to the apartment a little before 1AM, I made pasta, and then I passed out.
