Today was GORGEOUS!! It was the perfect spring/summer day with 82 degree high.I couldn't decide on a dress to wear,My hair was looking fly,skin glowing.Beautiful day!!!
Today was also sooo long,My days off are usually very long filled with extra things that need to be accomplished and by the time I have time fort myself the day is over:( Go figure huh? My morning started bright and early at 8:30am. I was off to class with an apple in hand.Spanish workshop was filled with conversation..I wanted to skip so bad but I cant take the chance of missing close to finals.After class I rushed off to my internship.My Boss finally warmed up to me the last day of the internship.He was curious about my tattoos, always a great conversation starter lol!I was going with Mariana and Juan Manuel to the immigration center to hand out magazines.Of course the boss made us wear matching shirts and hats.I looked a hot mess but it was so hot outside i didn't even care.Then my boss gave me this adorbs certificate of completion at the internship.I was surprised and felt emotional YALL.So we get down to the immigration center and start handing out magazines to the people.Not really my thing so I was happy I had a meeting at 3 which let me leave.I was sad to say goodbye to Juan Manuel and Mariana:(
[Sooo random]..before my meeting I was sitting in the park eating my Atun Empanadas(tuna empanadas) and this woman just would not stop staring at me.I usually would have been super annoyed but the nice weather allowed me to relax.She approached me and told me how beautiful I was and how my hair reminded me of home.She was Dominican and ask if I was as well because of My hair and my skin tone made me looked Dominican.I told her where I was from and we talked a little.She was sooo nice and I could tell I reminded her of home..I was not offended at all.Honestly I was flattered.Her approach was nice,and gentle. Which was new and I appreciated it.I haven't digested this interaction completely but will be back with some type of reflection.
Then I had my last meeting with Perla (My counselor) for the last time. She was a blessing and I told her so.She was a great listener but was also critical of my ideologies and look at things from a different perspective.I don't think I would have grown as much in BA without her. I am forever thankful.
I have not processed all these goodbyes,I am sad,happy,excited,nervous,unsure,and anxious all at once. Not sure I am exactly ready to leave yet. First of 3 exams 2maro.Gotta get back to studying.
