hold (hot-cold)

Things here are hot. Well, not today nor the day before. They've actually been cold. But when i started to write this, things were extreamly HOT. 10 guys in a room that sleeps 7, really the size for 2-3, with argentina's summer heat with the window and door closed...stinks. In odor and figuratively. Since i work late at night and come in from the fairly decent air outside..it's an amazingly rapid change when i walk into my room, which reaks of men-sweat. I shower cold and by the time i've made it back to my bed, i'm sweating again. I wake up in the morning and peel off the sheets. (Why does he use sheets if it's so hot?) I peel them off my back, which were under me. Then i preceed to take another cold shower. But now..it's so cold that i wish i hadn't packed my comfortor away in "EL deposito." you can figure out what it does. Just remove the last 'o'. The weather here is so wierd. Nothing else is really all that different. Most of the gringo's have gotten there work changed out of mayodormia(bathroom cleaning), leaving just me as the only whitey there. I guess they can't take it. They said it's because they don't get enough sleep, but that's just an excuse. There are several girls that have it in the bilingual program, with the exact same schedules, maybe even more strenous(sp?), that make it, by taking naps. They do it, i do it...why can't these guys? I dunno. But i do praise God because by them leaving, i'll have to speak even more spanish, because i'm the only guy that knows english there. That's GREAT! I do remember asking God in a prayer to give me more opportunities to learn spanish, i guess this is it. We'll be a little understaffed until some people change in to help us...but praise God anyway, right? Of course! Today, Jan, 31st, I'm going to a birthday party of this girl here. She "completes her 19th year" this day. That's how it would be said in spanish, for birthday. (Which actually makes alot more since that birthday, if you think about it. Don't you really only have "one" birthday? The day you were born? Whatever...) The cool thing is that i get to play guitar for her b-day, err..completed year. I'm really excited because last semester i played the guitar like once...this semester, which has only begun, i've played it almost everyday. Jesus, You Rock!!! Thanks to you too, lee, for sending me the music. I'm learning songs in spanish on guitar, too. In my opinion, worship songs in spanish are prettier than the ones in english. I know thats not important, but it's my opinion. Most of the songs are just translated english praise songs, but everyonce and a while you'll find a brand new latino praise song- and they sound great..with excelent words, might i add. Well, i beleive that's it for now. Cell phone still doesn't work right. Getting a new one Thursday. Moustache still coming along. Slowly but surely. Alright chicos y chicas, I'm out...chau!
