Today was a pretty fun day. It was only a half day, so we
got out at 12:50. Also, Katie W came back to school today to say goodbye to
everybody because she is leaving in like 2 weeks. Mariana, Chichi, and I ditched
English to go practice the alianza dance, and then Katie joined us when she got
to school. She was pretty nervous to come back to school after having been gone
for so long, but everyone received her with open arms and she went through the
rest of the day with her class. After school, Katie, Cata, Pablo, and I walked
into the center to get lunch. Louis joined us later. We ate giant sandwiches
from Tio Manolo, and then we walked around the center for a while just
basically doing nothing and hanging out. We went into the mall, and on the top
floor there were these little kid rides. Just to be funny, I got onto one of
them and we tried to put in the money to make it work. This old janitor guy
came up to us and told me I had to get off. I politely did so, but then the guy
kept talking about how we should really grow up and how obviously we were too
fat for the little kid ride to hold us, and Pablo got angry with him. We
decided to just walk away, but Pablo didn’t walk away before getting up in the
guy’s face a little bit. I guess it’s a pretty sucky job to be a janitor for
your whole life, so I don’t really blame the dude for being so rude to us. Anyway,
we went into another part of the mall and bought ice cream and talked for a
while. It was Katie, Louis, me and Pablo, and so obviously we spoke in English.
It was honestly impressive how Pablo was able to understand and contribute to
the conversation. And he never even went on exchange. I’m kind of jealous to be
honest. I got home in collectivo around 6, and immediately went for a run.
After the run, I sat in my room and watched a movie. Downstairs, my aunt was
getting the calluses shaved off of her feet at our dinner table (gross, I
know), so Lilian brought me dinner on a tray to eat in my room. It was the
cutest thing ever, and I felt so grateful to have such a thoughtful and caring
mommy.
