What made me happy this month?







1.       Uruguay trip. The quick trip to Uruguay was what I needed. I honestly feel in love with Punta del Estes and I’m so excited to go back sometime soon
2.       Costume parties. And yes in plural my friends and I went to two costumes parties this month. I had so much planning costumes and hanging out with lots of friends as well as knowing new people.
3.       Passing my exams. I pass two of my exams, one which was a subject I had to re-take this semester. It was a big deal since last semester I failed that exam. Fingers cross I pass my next four exams and my finals!
4.       Cat. My parents decided to bring my car, Simba, here and he has officially move in with us. Everyone knows how much I love my cat and having him here brings me so much joy.
5.       Voting. We had elections once again, and the best part was not voting but finally bring an end to a political era in our country.
6.       Going to “La Nación”. We went to “La Nación”, which is a one of the most popular newspaper in Argentina. We had to do a project for journalism and they gave us a tour around the offices.
7.       American Horror Story. My friend and I started watching the show. I’ve always been scared it was going to scare me a lot, but so far the first season I was not so scare and I’m obsessed with it. I do watch during the day only. Plus, how cute is Evan Peters?
8.       Finding old music. Maybe it was the fact that I’ve been studying a lot, so I’ve been listening to more music and re discovery songs I actually miss. Usually, some old Taylor Swift and Lorde’s song.
9.       Sunset downtown. After visiting my family downtown, I caught this beautiful sunset on my way home while stuck in traffic in the car.
10.   Spring arrival. We finally have spring, al thought the weather is still odd (this is the first week without a coat), we already have flowers and there is a lot greener around.
What made you happy this month?
Love

Uruguay Diary



















So, last week my parents planned a small trip to Uruguay. Al though, I couldn’t stay as long as my family because I had an exam, I did stay four days and half in Punta Del Este, Uruguay. It was my first time over there, I had previously been in Uruguay but I went to Colonia only. I was surprise how beautiful this place was. We stayed in a hotel in Solanas which was basically in the woods, they were three story apartments, surround with lakes, trees, swimming pools, a restaurant, tennis court, among others things to do. The beach was really close by and it was so amazing, we did however go to different beaches near the more touristic side, and close to the restaurants and port. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
Have you ever been to Punta Del Este? What do you think?

La semana pasada mis papas planearon un pequeño viaje a Uruguay. Aunque, no me pude quedar el mismo tiempo que mi familia, porque tenía un examen, me quede cuatro días y medio en Punta del Este, Uruguay. Era mi primera vez ahí, ya había ido a Uruguay antes pero solamente a Colonia. Me sorprendió lo lindo que era ahí. Nos quedamos en un hotel en Solanas que estaba básicamente en un bosque. Eran departamentos de tres pisos rodeados de lagos, arboles, piletas, un restaurant, cancha de tenis y muchas más cosas para hacer. La playa está muy cerca y era bastante linda, aunque, fuimos algunas playas diferentes más cerca de lado turístico y cerca de los restaurantes y el puerto. Espero que les gusten las fotos.
¿Alguna vez fuiste a Punta del Este? ¿Qué te pareció?
