Big Momma is coming to town

Hey there my favorite Blog readers!

How is everyone out there?

Yesterday was Andi's birthday. We celebrated the best way you can having a birthday during the summer-time in Uruguay... we made a Bbq! Aia (my godmother) made some "ensalada rusa" which is russian salad... you know potatoes, carrots, peas and a whole lot of a mayo? Yeah. yum! It meant a lot to Andi.
Then there wasn't just one cake... but two dulce de leche godesses! (Stefan... du waerst gestorben!) They were from tienda inglesa which makes the best cakes you can buy... (you can't buy Mariana's cakes yet). Then we went to a kids soccer game which was canceled because of the rain :( Nacional played and Andi watched the game with the guys. Then we went home and sleeeeept.

So I posted some pictures on the blog. It is impossible on Facebook when your
internet is this slow. Andi and I have slowly been settling into our new apartment.
Tomorrow we are going to spend the day cleaning. A couple of days ago we went to the academy where Andi will go to practice Spanish. They have a nice fancy schmanzy getup going on. You wanna hear the best part? Well... I picked the Academy the day we met with Julio, which was Friday the 5th. Coincidentially the academy is on the exact same street where we live! It is just 3 Blocks away! Cool huh? For 200 Dollars a week Andi can have 20 hrs of group lessons. That's a pretty good price if you think about the fact that it's 10 Dollars an hour. The "groups" are tiny even. We also found out when we there that they work together with NGOs, which is also where Andi would like to work for an internship. Things are looking good for Andi. Now I just have to get myself settled into some internship.

I have been thinking about my Master's paper recently. I think it might not be a bad idea to write a comparison about the social care systems Austria and Uruguay. Focusing primarily on psychiatries. I am pretty sure that no such paper exists, although I haven't done any research on the subject yet. Who knows... I could be surprised :)

Sofia and Maria Pelufo a.k.a. big Momma are coming to town. Hopefully big momma won't be working ALL the time and we can do some touring and fun stuff! I still have a whole part of the family I haven't seen. My aunt and her 5 grown up children.
Why am I calling my mom big momma? To be honest I don't know. It sounds funny. It could be because she was chatting with Andi yesterday and told him he isn't the only one who needs a spanish course... so maybe this is my way of getting back at BIG MOMMA! :D

I will have to take some pictures of the apartment when it is *hopefully* nice and shiny tomorrow. There are a lot of cockroaches in Uruguay who like to come out from no where... Let's hope to find them all tomorrow and kill kill kill! Especially those stinking mosquitos. They bit me twice on the face yesterday, once and today as well.
