This past week was the last of the semester. I was really busy, trying to spend time with friends and then also finish up school work. The week before was the last week of my internship in popular finance. I learned a ton at the internship, but was happy to be done with work and get back to school. This week we had to write a paper, give a 30 minute oral presentation over our internships and then we had to turn in our 20 page paper putting together the internship experience/research with what we had learned in the microfinance track. And the paper was in Spanish! So I got everything done and my professor was impressed with my work, so hopefully I come back to the States with a good GPA.
It was sad to say bye to all my friends. I met SO many awesome people on this program, and have made 5 really, really good friends. We are already planning a reunion! The semester has been absolutely amazing. I have traveled so much in this country, seen so much, been able to ask so many questions. At times I got frustrated, but overall it was incredible, the least stressful semester I've had since I started college. I have loved the experience not because everyday was perfect and wonderful, but because everyday I learned something new, something I could never learn anywhere else.
Tomorrow my best friend Melinda will be flying here from Peru. We are going to an island just off the coast of Ecuador and then will be in Quito a few days. On December 22 we are flying to Buenos Aires, Argentina to see the city, go to Uruguay and also see some really amazing waterfalls. 3 weeks and I'm back in the US!!!!

I lived in Argentina and Uruguay! When in Buenos Aires go to the boliches[discotecas] lol at least once..its an interesting experience...If you like rockish and 80s and house music go to Museo, and there is this salsa place called Azucar in BElgrano NOT the one on corrientes...that one is nice and if you like hip-hop on thursday in palermo viejo at club araoz it becomes a club called LOST...but have fun when you guys get down there...it will be a totally different experience from ecuador. If you are in Montevideo specifically sunday night go to barrio sur, traditionally an afro-uruguayan neighborhood and they play Candombe. It is beautiful! Also go to Colonia if u get a chance. it a really small town and you will see most of it in a day. Suerte chiki!
