Happy Belated Halloween

Happy Halloween to all a little bit late! I am in my final week of classes with exams the whole week. Its kind of sad because the people who are not traveling after classes end are all going home and I probably wont see them again (or at least for awhile) because most of my friends I have made live on the other side of the U.S. We all are making the most of our final days together. Wednesday night I returned to the bar I had mentioned awhile back that has a band every Wednesday night that plays tango music. It was a relaxing night after a somewhat difficult globalization final. Thursday after class, Griffin, Jessica, Liz, and our friend Kathleen went to a district called Once to look for our Halloween costumes. I was surprised by how many costume and party stores there were that were packed with people buying decorations and costumes for Halloween. Halloween for the most part isnt celebrated here, but I guess occasionally little kids have Halloween parties. That night I went to my Italian friends' house for an asado. I met some of their friends from their Argentine classes who were very nice and said I spoke Spanish well which was good to hear. Afterwards, I met Jared, Lizzy, Rachael, Brenda, and her friend Floppy (nickname for Florencia) at a club called Lost which a lot of people go to on Thursday nights. We had a good time dancing as usual. Friday wasnt too exciting. Saturday rained all day but stopped just in time for the Halloween/Lizzys birthday party. I dressed up as Audrey Hepburn. Virginia even lent me some of her pearls to wear and made Liz a cape for her costume. Liz was Mujer Maravilla (Wonder Woman). Rachel was a greek goddess, Lizzy- Waldo, and Jared and Indian. We all looked really funny on the bus on the way to the bar dressed up in costumes. Liz got hollered out quite a few times. i was kind of afraid someone was going to mug us because she was being loud and attracting a lot of unwanted attention to the group. The party was a lot of fun, with the exception that I had been having terrible stomach pain all day and it continued throughout the whole party. Instead of drinking like rest of the people, I made myself the official photographer of the night. i got some great photos and wasnt hungover in the morning. Everyone who came had great costume including: chiquita banana, trailer trash pregnant girl, our super gay male friends ( cheerleader and catholic school girls), alphabet blocks, ronald mcdonald, harry potter and ginny weasley, the guys from La Bomba (L a Bomba is the drumming concert every Monday night), and the coolest pumpkin costume Ive seen in awhile. Yesterday, my terrible stomach pain continued, so I attempted to study for my exam today and relaxed. I am ready for exams to be over and go to Peru. I leave on Friday! Cant wait to tell about my next adventure.
