Dia 98 (ii)—Estaba en Cafe del Alba cuando empezo un juego de futbol. Fue otra experiencia, ver la intensidad, la pasion de los argentinos y su deporte nacional.

Día 96—Brinner con las yanquis después de Taller #2 de Soundpainting! French Toast!
Soundpainting
“Soundpainting is the live composing sign language created in 1974 by New York composer Walter Thompson for musicians, dancers, actors, poets, and visual artists. At present, the Soundpainting language comprises more than 1200 gestures that are signed by the composer/director, known as the Soundpainter, indicating the type of material desired of the performers. Direction of the composition is gained through the parameters of each set of signed gestures”

Día 94—Acabo de leer The Fault in Our Stars por John Green hoy. Mi novio me lo mandó hace unas semanas, y por mucho tiempo no tenía ganas de leerlo porque sabía que lloraría. Pero lo leí. Y fue mejor la segunda vez, a pesar de las lágrimas. Es (y será, creo) uno de mis libros favoritos.
Day 94—I finished reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. My boyfriend sent it to me a few weeks ago, and for a while I didn’t have the motivation to read it because I knew I would cry. But I read it. And it was better the second time, despite the tears. It is (and will be, I believe) one of my favorite books.
Día 93—Estuve con el grupo de principiantes en English Talk hoy. Me preguntaron sobre Missouri y comentaron que la pronunciación sonaba el mismo como “miseria.” Para un ESL hablante….si, vivo en Miseria XD
