I was able to wake up even earlier than usual, which allowed me time to have coffee and complete my spanish homework. Class was a bit more confusing since I didn't spend the time to study the nights before. Lyne and I went to our usual place for the break and eat some empanadas. After class, I went to pick up my mandatory Halloween costume (to work at Casa). I was home around 3 and just hung on the net until it was time for Pilates. I really do like Pilates. After I came back, time flew. I took a shower, got ready, ate and left for work. I was alone at the bar and it was a crazy night. Lots of Daiquiries, Caipirinhas and more... Drunk pilots, flirty americans etc... I made really good tips. Came home around 4:30 extremely tired.
October 31 ~ Halloween!!
A rather more relaxing day since I skipped class in the morning and slept. It felt good. I finally did the dishes, went grocery shopping and organized the living room a little bit. I hung out online for a bit, cooked, tried to read the first spanish magazine I got... I went to work at 8. Everyone was working last night and we were planning on opening the upstairs bar as well (it is still in renovation) which was where I was going to work. However, not too many people showed up so I was a bit bored just waiting around and not working at the bar. No tips either obviously. It was fun to see the costumes though... Here are some pictures with the girls at the bar:

I feel like this week was a bit chaotic. Taking 4hours of spanish per day and working 4 nights was really not a good idea. I want to make sure I don't work more than 2 nights a week so that i don't lose my purpose of being here. I haven't been to a milonga since Tuesday, didn't read since Monday, wrote only for couple of hours this week and I feel tired. Next week no spanish, instead I will be starting my tango classes.
