Tuesday, October 16, 2007 Back to the hussel and the bussel
I woke up on the bus and spent the next 12 hours reading and sleeping and watching the TV on the bus. They played the movie Déjà Vu (dubbed in Spanish), with Denzel Washington that takes place in New Orleans, so that was pretty exciting. But it made me miss it! I finished reading the book, notes and highlighting included, so that was a relief. As you can imagine, not much happened otherwise. We got in a 7ish and I headed home, ready to be back. I took a shower and had once with Olga while I recapped my adventures. She loved the gift I got her and how it’s hanging up on the wall by the door. It actually looks really good, so that was a relief.
Side note: More wisdom by Olga: I explained to her my anxiety about giving people gifts because I’m afraid they won’t like them. She told me that it was only my insecurity and that I shouldn’t care if they like the gift or not because the fact that I got them something is what is important.
I had to do an essay for my Biblia class for tomorrow which required watching the movie Blood Diamond with Leonardo DiCaprio about the diamond trade in Africa. Nothing like waiting till the last minute, but luckily Calli’s family had a pirated copy, so I went to her house and CJ and Calli and I watched it together. It didn’t finish till after 1 am so I took a cab home (it only cost about $2). I worked as late as I could before I crashed and was able to get a good outline done.
