YAY! My family got here this morning! And all in one piece!

It's great to have them around. But unfortunately it's so hot here that we all want to die so we are frantically trying to find a way out of the city. It's proving not easy.

In other news, I have never met so many rude, stand-offish, and unhelpful Argentines as I have today. I won't go into the details but I am seriously disappointed in the people. Maybe it's the heat. But really, come on. Anyway, you probably have no idea what I'm talking about. Everything seems frantic at the moment. Mostly we need transportation and lodging somewhere outside of this city.

Por Favor!

Happy New YEAR!!!!!

I hope everyone enjoyed their new year! I spent mine eating Chinese food and watching Love Actually with Shahzad. It was very relaxed and enjoyable.

I don't really have much to say.

Yesterday I spent 13 hours braiding my hair and watching Ally McBeal episodes online. It was okay.

It is sooooo hot here. I feel like I'm melting and I can't even take a shower because the water in our house isn't working. Sigh.

I started my mission to become more well read by reading all the classics and read Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka the other day. It was really interesting. I'm a little proud and embarrassed that afterwards I went online and looked up the sparknotes analysis on it. I was so well trained in high school... :D Anyway. I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my family on Sunday... And that's about it!
