I woke up today at 10:30. I got up and watched some TV with Juan before having asado for lunch. I stayed at home for the morning but I know that some other exchange students went out to the fockey field to watch a fockey tournament. There was a farewell party at 3 pm. The party was in Victoria’s neighborhood at a clubhouse. There wasn’t a foosball table like usual so people brought skateboards and a soccer ball over. There were some soccer fields close by and some of us, me included, walked over there to play soccer together. It was very fun and I got to try and learn how to ride a skateboard there. There were lots of snacks and we ended up having dinner there as well. The dinner consisted of cheese pizza and hotdogs. At 7 pm, the teachers and parents arrived to join the party. That was also the time when we celebrated Ross’ birthday. The party ended at 8 pm and everyone went home to pack. Although the official farewell party would be tomorrow, it still was sad because it was the last real party among friends and families. It was the last party that we were kind of in charge of. Also the thought of going home to pack created an impending feeling of sadness during the party as well as during that night before going to bed. It would be our last night in Quilmes with your host family and everyone else there. It was a big thought that did not help me fall asleep that night.
