Mexican
Had a fever yesterday – very unpleasant. Though I stayed out as long as possible – didn’t want to go home. Coming home meant calling my professor (with whom I’m writing my paper and with whom the last and only time I talked to was the beginning of December!). On the way back Pina scared the shit out of me by saying that somebody from the dean’s office told her that that professor is not helping me anymore and I should find myself somebody else. When I asked my good friend Pina – when did you hear this – the answer was: “I dunno – maybe it was today, or Friday…” Now can somebody tell me is it alright to forget whether it was today or 5 days ago? What can I say – that’s my buddy Pina.
When I called my professor – she said everything was fine. I’m handing the draft in on Monday, but for Christ sake I was worried sick for two hours before I called her – thank you Pina for giving me a nervous breakdown with something… that just came to your mind!
The Mexican party was alright I guess – but that’s just for me cause I left early. There was a fight at night for no good reason – tables flying (and I’m not exaggerating), choking, stealing property, hitting women and what not – yeah it was a mess. Though the food was great!
I just noticed – I can’t type Russian in here, or can I? Я завтра сматываюсь в деревню до понедельника – всем пока!
