After class I went to a kiosko and bought $20 worth of Argentinean candy so I can take it back to the US with me. Frequently there’s some sort of entertainment on the subte by someone performing for money, selling something, etc., and today on my way home there was a little boy who was juggling. I’d seen him once before; he juggles three bean bag balls and hits the ceiling of the subte with them to draw more attention to him. He’s not the best juggler, and usually drops one of the balls every time he tries, but he’s the cutest little boy. He was wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt that were covered in dirt, his hair was long and ratty, there was dirt smudged on his face, and his shoes were all worn out. It’s sad that he has to live that way, and it was almost heartbreaking to watch him.
It’s getting down to the last couple of days here, and I’m really sad about it!! I was super behind on blogging and uploading pictures, so all I’ve been doing all afternoon is catching up. I can’t believe I only have two more days left in BA (only 1 full day!), and then I’m leaving for Chile! Our exam is tomorrow, so I’ll definitely be studying and packing the rest of the night.
