I had a great day today shopping around in a local market today, I actually didn't even make it to the gigantic one I had in mind because I was finding so many cool things at the other one I discovered. I talked more to one of my friends who studied in Buenos Aires last year and it looks like she knows a few really nice people who wouldn't mind showing me around a little. That makes me feel very happy and relieved. For a while I was wondering if I would meet any Argentines outside of my host family. I came home right as dinner was hitting the table, participated in the conversation more than I normally do, and then headed off to take a shower. When I got back to my computer I saw that both my mom and Marcelo had tried to talk to me because I'd accidently left my computer signed on. By the time I'd gotten their messages they were long gone and I had no way to reach them...It ended up making me really sad actually, sadder than it should have because it's not a bad thing to have people you care about trying to contact you. But, it was the fact that even though I was hoping to talk to both of them tonight, I missed them and now all I can do is wait till tomorrow night and try again. I really detest that aspect of long distance communication, where a little window of time determines whether or not hear from someone isn't in your life enough as it is. I don't think I would have done well in the time of letters being delivered on horseback...
