Monografías & humidity

I think the 2 reasons that I haven't been writing recently are definitely schoolwork and the heat. They seem totally unrelated, but they have made me tired, unable to be in my house and lazy. I have been working on a 15 page (1.5 spaced) paper for my Anthro. class here. I think I finished it!! I just turned it in to my tutor to read and then I will make her changes and turn it in to my professor before I leave. I am so happy to be done with that!!! It has been hotter than the surface of the sun- especially in my room, in the back of the house, with no real window to the outside world. I have a ceiling fan, but moving around steaming hot air doesn't really do anything. Finally, it rained yesterday and they day before. And I mean it rained like I have never seen - in just 10 minutes there were huge floods, etc. It was a good excuse to stay in the house and write. Now it has finally cooled off a bit. I slept with my covers for the first time last night. It was great. I am packing up and preparing to go to Brazil on Thursday for a week. I am so excited. 4 friends and I rented a small beach chalet about 1 hour outside of a city called Florianopolis, in the south of Brazil. I wanted to travel more throughout the country, but it just came down to money and time that I didn't have enough of. I also decided I wanted to spend more time in Buenos Aires than I originally thought. There is still so much to do here. So I am packing nothing more than a few bathingsuits and a few books. I'll come home with my Christmas tan... : ) I promise to write after Brazil! xoxo
