Project 365, Day 12

Day: Had my oral exam today! I did pretty well and got a 90% on it, and a 92.5% on the written part that was on Wednesday. Afterward some friends and I ate and talked at a local supermarket, where I discovered that Oreo Alfajores exist:
As you can imagine, it was super delicious.

Project 365, Day 10

Day: Final went well today! It was extremely long, but I was done in about two hours, so that was cool. Afterward, I went to a diner-like restaurant called Forrest Gump, then to COTO again to buy some stuff I needed... like hair dye... because I realized from this picture that I had red hair, which I realized because the guy in front of me has red hair. And so we were basically hair twins. And I don't know how I feel about that.

Picture: Stuff from COTO: a glass soda bottle, orange soda because it was the cheapest, dye, a tortilla on the bottom left, a flan in the bottom middle, and some yerba mate called amanda that at $0.90 I just had to get. I mean, come on.

(Tortillas- pronounced tor/tee/jas- are like a potato omelet- the inside had thinly sliced potatoes -like scalloped potatoes- mixed with cheese, crushed red pepper, salt, and strings of onion, and in a mixture of eggs and flour that I'm guessing was pan-fried. It was so good. Oh, and the $0.50 flan was pretty disgusting and eggy.)
You guys. You guys. This exists:
 ... and I can't wait to put it in my soda bottle collection back home. Passion fruit is basically the best flavor of any fruit out there.

Project 365, Day 9

Day: Last day of classes before finals! I am doing an intensive Spanish course, so basically I took a whole semester's worth of classes in the past 3.5 weeks (five hours every weekday), and the written exam is tomorrow and the oral portion Friday... and no class Thursday! So happy.

Picture: After school I went to COTO, the huge supermercado, and finally bought lotion after going without it for 3 weeks. Also, I've been missing yogurt, so I went to the refrigerated section and picked a Disney marketed brand in the sweet orange flavor. I was so excited.
Except then this happened:
Here's the thing guys. Turns out it was some kind of milk-juice. It was actually really depressing.
