Lizzie-Argentina

Hola!
So, up until now i've been working a lot and even went to the beach two days and got sunburnt of course. Kylie, Sean Nash's girlfriend is working at Beadniks this summer with me so that'll be fun. I've been going out a lot with Katie and our 33 year-old cute friend, Jason. Last Saturday my family and my friend Anya's family had a big graduation celebration with all our friends with lots of beer, wine, champagne barbecue and yummy cake. Then we all went out to the bars and Stuart and I drunkenly sang "Build me up Buttercup" at Karaoke. It was so fun!

I'm in Argentina!! I woke up on Tuesday at 4:45AM and after a boat, two buses, the Long Island Railroad, the train to JFK, and three plane rides I arrived in Mendoza on Wednesday at 7:30PM. The two longest days of my life. And I get to do it in reverse on the way back, but at least i'll get a break in there by staying at Caitlin's house.

I'm just so happy to be here, I seriously almost "squueeeed" with joy when the plane landed in Mendoza. And AND ANDDDDDD I met up with Pablo last night and I sooooo do not like him anymore. He wasn't very interesting to me, didn't have much to say, awkwardly greeted me. When we were looking through my pictures he saw one of me kissing Jason on the cheek and Pablo asked me who he was. So I kinda lied and told him I was going out with Jason. It's not a complete lie because I do "go out" with Jason, just not in a romantic way, hahah. And Anabel, my host sister met him for the first time last night and she was really cold towards him. Pablo drove me home and asked me why Anabel was like that and I said "because she's my sister, she loves me and knows EVERYTHING that happened with us" and he goes to start saying something about what happened and I said "NO, I don't wanna talk about this" and he said "ok" but I heard "por qué" ("why" in spanish) and I went off and started saying "because I'm only here for a week and I don't want drama..." and then he said "ok ok" hahah. i was so ready to start a verbal smackdown but luckily I didn't have to. I have no urge whatsoever to ever see him again, I swear to god.

Sorry I just had to get that out. So I'm really excited for the rest of the week and don't wanna think about going back. And I'm so anxious about this Peace Corps thing, they are currently "reviewing" my file. so i just have to sit and wait.

Ok, now thatI've written that, I'm off to buy some wine to bring to a dinner I have tonight and a barbecue tomorrow. Then of course I'll be celebrating my birthday argentine-style (lots of wine and dancing). I miss you all!! Come visit if you can!! (my island, not Argentina).
