Message from Thursday

This message was from Thursday, I intended on adding more but I'm just going to start a new post.
"So I´ve finally tried mate and it really hits the spot. I was studying in the library with a few argentineans, and my intention was to read until I was tired enough to take a nap. Anyway, we started passing around a gourd of mate and I was on level orange alert. It keeps you perfectly concentrated and it tastes really good. Mate itself is a bunch of little bits of herbs smashed up. You all the herbs into a gourd until it is three fourths full and add very hot water from a thermus. Then you drink through a metal straw. The way we did it is one person drank a gourd´s worth (not that much because it´s mostly the yerba (herbs), and then pass and refill. It was really really good and I´m going to start buying it.

Our apartment is going to have a Edward 40 Hands night with the other intercambios and argentineans. We´re calling it Eduardo Litro Manos. It´s next Thursday so I´ll let you know how it goes.

There is an Inter San Andrés fútbol league and we´ve created a team of foreigners. We are all decently good, and we have an excellent name. Originally one of the guys named us ´The Melting Pot´ which is obviously a retarded name and we had to change it. I changed our name to ¨Barassalona¨ which you have to say out loud in order to get. Making fun of Barcelona obviously. I thought it was pretty clever but then our English player Alec suggested Inter Urmum which is more crude and is a play on Inter Milan. Anyway, now we are Inter Urmum so we´ll see how that goes. League play starts next week.

Is the only reason people have eye brows to keep water from falling in their eyes?"
