Anxious Comfort

So I didn't quite dance the night away or sweep an Uruguayan lover off her feet.

But I did finish school for the semester!! That requires a victory dance around the block in Montevideo but I will settle for a casual stroll tonight. I think it will do me good to walk around outside.

All in all, this semester has been wonderful for me. I was able to learn some things in and out of school and see some AMAZING stuff here! I don't know why I ever hesitated to come here. Yeah, the school stuff is more intense but the places you go and the people you meet are priceless!

One of the places I went (or joined) was Y.M.C.A. I ended up rock climbing there with some other really cool students several nights this semester. Pictures of rock climbers aren't on here but I snapped a photo of some of us climbing the stairs in our casa.

Anyway, we went to eat dinner with some of the Uruguayan rock climbers at their place and ended up serving other people food. It was such a rewarding experience! We ate pasta after everyone else was served and conversed in what Spanish we knew. That makes my South American pleasant memory count climb to #527. Yeah. Wow.



Anyway, all my hard work has left me with great grades and a successful finish to the semester! I look forward to being home!
