Dulce de leche (Argentina's famous caramel dip) is quite a versatile food product..
But everything has its limitations.
Dulce de leche with toast - Sí
Dulce de leche with cookies - Sí
Dulce de leche with apples - Sí
Dulce de leche with bananas - Sí
Dulce de leche with pretzels - Sí
Dulce de leche with media lunas - ¡Claro que sí!
Dulce de leche with pears - No, weird consistency
Dulce de leche with plums - No, my condolences
Dulce de leche with peanut butter sandwiches - No, overwhelmingly sweet
Dulce de leche with lettuce and tomato - What was I thinking?
Brief but informative descriptions of all the doormen in my building:
*Luis - Cheery thin man with a mustache who is always happy to see me. Taking English classes. Gives me theatre production recommendations and lends me his Argentine movies.
*Roberto - Surprised that I have never thrown a punch, offered to give me defense lessons. One of my first good friends in Buenos Aires. The only doorman that has seen me cry.
*Antonio - Knew my name before I knew who he was. Pleasant and proper. Man of few words. Large glasses that cover the majority of his face. Reminds me of Waldo from Where’s Waldo?
*Juan - Very nice with smiley eyes. Neither of us can understand each other so we generally stick to pleasantries. He still asks me where I’m from sometimes.
*Cañite - Tells me the weather conditions every day before I leave the building. Last time I tried to have a conversation with him, I asked him if he knew where to find an internet café, and he told me where to find the nearest laundromat.
*Mario - A plump jolly man from Uruguay. He looks like he would give good hugs but I wonder if that would be awkward. We share laughs and he likes meeting my friends who I bring over to the apartment.
Finalized class schedule in Argentina:
*Literatura Española Contemporánea (Contemporary Spanish Literature)
*Psicología de la Personalidad (Psychology of the Personality)
*Estado y Religión en América Latina (State and Religion in Latin America)
*Música Urbana Popular en Argentina (Popular Urban Music in Argentina)
*Estructuración de la Subjetividad (Structure of Subjectivity)
..If I saw this schedule sitting on a table, I would have NO idea what this person’s life goals were, let alone their major.
As of this past Tuesday, my class schedule is finally fixed. I found it odd that I had my Madison Fall schedule set before this semester's in Argentina. I also find it strange that my friends in the States have less than a month left before school is out, while I do not have my last final exam until July.
