Its begining to feel more and more like life...

Soooooooooo...........

Things are definitely slowing down here. Its crazy that 2 days ago was the 5 month mark of me coming to Buenos Aires. As Ive said before, there are days where it feels like it has been 2 months, and days where it feels like 2 years. I am always struggling with the decision of what to do next. What plays to make, what to do next. Its insane trying to live when your resources are so limited. I have so much more respect now for people who do it, and Im still cheating by using money left over from my college fund. Needless to say, its a lesson in humilty and responsibility that Im enduring. I would like to think Im doing ok with it though. This place is starting to feel like home though (The city at least). I have what I do for work, I have my core group of friends (sort of) and I need to come up with a creative way to spend time.

Work is still going ok. I was sort of just mentally working with the fact that I earn less than everyone else as an understudy. I just figured I would pick up another job. Then I was called by the school I studied at to do a photo shoot for their upcoming promotional stuff (students doing classes, hanging out together, high 5ing) and was talking to Arturo (a staff member of the corporate office) and asked him about a job, and he told me he had a full time job as customer service rep available if I was interested. So now I dont really know what to do. I love the theatre job because its what I love to do and the people are great, but the pay isnt phenominal. And I have a lot of free hours because they dont bring me in much. We will see what happens with that.

The living situation was a little crazy for a while. I got out of where I had been staying for two months, stayed with my scottish friend and her boyfriend for a weekend. Then I was caught in a sort of crappy situation thats not even worth taking the time to write about. Luckily my friend Kurt that lives down here completely came to my rescue and let me stay for a few days at his pad. Totally saved my neck. Now Im staying in this thing called a pension. its like 9 people living in 3 rooms. Its not my ideal living situation, but it was seriously the best I could find. The landlord lives here and has friends over often. Including one long haired old man that I thought was dead when I first saw him sitting in his chair. Im sort of worried about my nicer things, which is why I didnt bring my computer. Which may be for the best. I spend too much time on it. But yeah, my locker could easily be broken into, so my nice things arent coming here.

Lol, this all sounds so sad. probably because its sort of rushed.

Anyway, updates to follow. much love to everyone!
