I can't sleep!

It is hot here! You see there are disadvantages to being in Argentina. To add to the hotness, the mosquitos keep attacking me, its horrible! So I can't sleep because the bites are itchy, and would close the window but its too hot for that! AND the only fan that Valeria possesses and which before was in my room is now in hers, and she isn't even using it! How selfish!
So anyway, this explains why I am up at 2.37 am writing on Blogger, not that this isn't an excellent time to write, but I think that I might be more productive at work tomorrow if I were able to sleep!

Yesterday I signed up for a bijouterie class which is exciting! I am going to make little animals and necklaces and things out of beads, wooo! Beware I might discover my creative side! Hehe! Although I did used to make necklaces a couple of years ago, and it was very fun, so am looking forward to it.

Today I went to my first class of 'parado de manos' which basically means balancing on hands, ie. handstand class! How perfect is that for me! I know! So now, I am doing gymnastics, capoeira, and a handstand class. Can I point out that all of these activities do include handstands, and that two of them include cartwheels, a recurring theme I feel.

Talking about gymnastics no developments yet on winking boy. Before last session Ivor started winking at me every time I faced him; now i assume that this means something as he wasn't winking at anyone else... not too pleased about this I don't think! Then last session I am soooooo sure that I overheard him asking another girl in the gym (one that I hardly know) if she thought I would go out with him, and she replied that she didn't really know me! Phew! I suddenly became very busy and was always doing something or chatting to someone whenever he was hanging around! This is very unusual for me I must say, as most of this class is usually spent lying on mats watching everyone else train! Its very fun i promise! Well I do rather a lot of chatting as well, its more of a social activity then a sport! But its good for my spanish, right? Thats my excuse for everything! Anyway, I am still deciding whether to give the guy a chance or not if he does ask me out, he is rather quiet, and hardly know him despite having seen him twice a week for the past 5 months! I will keep you posted!

Oooh my new version of blogger is all in spanish! I assume that this means i have an argentine google account which will be interesting. The letters don't match up to what they are called in spanish. For example, bold in spanish is negrita but is still represented by a b. Now, if this were word then it would be an n. Oooh I wonder what language the spell check will be in! That is a crucial factor which does actually matter, I might have to write all my posts in spanish from now on in order to be able to spell check them. You're not interested i know, neither am I really but cut me some slack its 2.52 am.

I think it is time to attempt to join the world of sleep again, perhaps I will have more luck now, if not I may be back online soon!
Nighty night! (I hope)

Well its been a while! Ok so I seem to start all posts with that particular sentence or something similar! I will try not to in future!

Over christmas and new year, I was off travelling argentina which was very exciting. I have put all my photos on facebook, so i won't post any here, as there are sooooo many of them! I had such a good time, it was fantastic, and I really love argentina. So anyway, if you are interested, you can pretty much see what i was up too from that! It includes getting covered in mud during some fangotherapy in mendoza, which by the way leaves your skin feeling soooo smooth!!!! to cyclying up and down mountains in bariloche, I cycled 66 km in 6 hours! Trust me when I say that its a long way!

More recently I started work at the argentine british chamber of commerce, which i have enjoyed so far! I finished the months newsletter last week, and that got sent out. I wrote it single handidly, though people in the office kept passing me things to include so wasn't short of ideas! I'm going to have to start the next one soon because this one went out a little late.
I have been emailing dfferent companies when they make trade enquiries and things which is nice, and lots of brainstorming goes on for the fundraising event we are holding in march.
Everyone is really nice in the office, and they all bring things in to share, so we spend most of the time drinking coffee and eating anything from cheese and grapes to medialunas (argentine croissants)! Yummy!

The weather is rather hot here, its been around 33 degrees for the past couple of days, or higher than that at times. The heat is oppressive, but you get used to it, and i'm not outside that much anyway, as I am at work. However taking the tube in the mornings is horrible, between the heat and the overcrowdedness, urgh. To combat the weather, i have been to my friends flat a couple of times. They have a pool, so its always nice to visit!!!

Anyway, I am going out now, so will post again soon!
