Stay until it gets dark.

so i was on the bus today and was looking out the window and saw this guy running. but like, it was really beautiful running. like, he should have been in a field of daisies and approaching a beautiful lady. he was very springy. it was lovely to watch. other things happened today too, but it was just the most noteworthy run i ever have witnessed.
so the past couple of days have been good! the sun is shining, i'm keeping busy, i'm spending less hours wandering the streets with no idea where the hell i am or how i'm getting home. life is good!
was in a high school today and for their english class they all had to gather their desks around me in a circle - much like an interrogation, or a nightmare - and ask me questions. then all the answers went on the board and they had to write a paragraph about me. it was essentially a class about me. they are teaching jordan in argentinian schools. it was pretty weird. and this morning i just hung out in the uzzi college staff room and drank tea and sang beatles songs. i am actually working hard though, promise.
going for dinner tonight with these english and swedish characters i met last week. i've only really hung out with one of them properly. his name's wackamole. or wackim? or guacamole, or something swedish anyway. but yeah, that should be good. getting to speak english all night without repeating myself a thousand times will be nice. there's definitely a bit of a 'gringos stick together' mentality out here.
still home alone. some of the girls from the neighbourhood were gonna come stay over tomorrow night but cecy emailed me today to say she was coming home early, party-pooper.
oh, and it was 'dia de la tradicion' in school today. they asked me if we had a 'tradition day' in northern ireland too. i said yes, it happens on the 12th of july. everyone dresses up in orange and has parades and fireworks and it is a happy occasion for all. my spanish vocab doesn't quite stretch to police raids and pipe bombs yet.
