another day

overcast 21 °C

Last night turned out differently than planned I can tell you. The concert wasn´t as good as we thought it might be actually. Plus Chelsea hadn´t planned on staying out at night at all and she didn´t have a sweater with her. In the end she borrowed mine since I had taken my longsleeve with me. However the group of Sjors and Robert moved on to the next bar but we were both so tired that we decided to call it a night. We just walked with them part of the way since the area wasn´t exactly the safest and police was out patrolling; made us feel a bit safer. We walked past Monoloco and had a quick look around since Chelsea was hoping to see Enzo around since he hadn´t returned her phone call. I had a brief chat with Elmer since work was slow. I was getting really tired and cranky by than. Enzo called and was goling to meet her downstairs. I got left with Alejandro who was annoying me with his dumb questions. Suddenly some guy showed up and did the handshake with the guys and chatted me up. He left since he saw that I wasn´t really paying any attention. Once he had left I asked Alejandro and Elmer who the hell that was. They both went he was just polite to say hello but actually he wanted to speak to you. Great way to go is all I can think off! Later on it dawned on me hat I had seen him before once or twice. I was getting cold and Chelsea didn´t return as promised so I went looking for her but no luck. Elmer told me anyway to go home before I would get sick again. Followed his advice and was home at a reasonable time!

Slept long and only woke up because Ema was hammering on the door because she had forgotten her keys. Milton had the music really loud and hadn´t heard her, Chelsea was under the shower and I was just waking up. I went back to sleep and emerged to have breakfast around 11am. Afterwards I was writing a letter and watching ¨The Incredibles¨ with Milton. We had lunch and I took a shower and got ready to go to Antigua. I checked real quick my mail in Jocotenango in the Internet cafe there. Camilla showed up and asked what had happened last night ... Suddenly Chelsea showed up as well and I told her that I was a bit annoyed with her. We went to Antigua together. She went off to play Trivia with the others while all I wanted was peace and quiet. I bought myself a cake and tea and sat in parque central reading my Lonely Planet and watching people. Elmer showed up briefly before work and he is getting better with coming on time (only 20 minutes late). I don´t know yet what I will be doing tonight but I don´t want to go back to Jocotenango just yet. I think that I will stay out and grab a bite here and see who shows up later for going out. I think that I might just find a nice quiet place and read some more. Tomorrow I want to sleep in and find a quiet place as well so that I can actually study my grammar because I am constantly making mistakes as far as I can tell. Elmer corrects me but I feel as if nothing is sticking in my brain at all today. I don´t know what is going on because there are times when I feel that it is going well and than I draw blanks for the correct tense. At least when I am with Elmer I can understand him without a problem and he is really nice about correcting my mistakes. I might actually learn something if I spend two weeks with him o;))) and have to speak Spanish day and night!
The girls just called and I will go find them in a second and than we will see what we will do tonight.
