final days

My last week in Panama absolutely flew by. I had no clue a week good turn into mere hours just like that. Monday and Tuesdays classes were filled with presentations. Tuesday we had a lil bbq @ Matteo's aunts house. That was some good food and it was decided that we were going out. We went to Rock Cafe and I have to say that was probably THE best discoteca I've been too. They played music i like and it was like a male review for us ladies the first hour or two plus open bar. Amazing!!!! This was probably where I started to lose sleep cuz I definitely didn't catch up on any during the week.
Wednesday I had my exam in my conversation class and had to give a lil presentation there. My teacher told me that my pronunciation and overall speaking really approved. YAY!! and then Shai and I decided to head over to multi centro to get somethings. That was a mistake. We made our purchases and were all set to leave. We didn't want to stay to long because we had an exam in our class the next day. Well wouldnt you know that we couldn't get a taxi. It was freaking rush hour in the city. We left the mall @ 630 and tried to catch a taxi till like 715. I was sneezing all crazy because of all the dust and smoke. At that point we were both frustrated and decided to go back inside and get somethin to eat and wait till 830 or so and try again. We ended up going to Hard Rock Cafe and had some good eats. We tried the taxi again and had sucess. I didnt end up getting back to the house till a lil after 9. At which point I spent the next several hours trying to study for my exam.
Thursday exam day. I didnt do as well on it as I did my first one but classes are over. My other class was cancelled and they took us to Mi Ranchito for lunch. I got shrimp so happy there was no rice I needed a break. It was also Will's 23rd bday and Julia's 20th the next day. SO our teachers surprised them with a cake. The lunch ended up running really long and with traffic we didnt get back for awhile. That wouldnt have been a problem except it was the night of our farewell dinner. Soooo the dinner. Great!! Everybody looked soo nice and cute. We even had a lil show which was a lot better than the one that was put on @ San Blas. Also, got to have another salsa dance with Jorge. I really like it I think I'm going to look more into it. And since it was our last night all being together it was only fitting to go to the discoteca one last time. It was empty in there though because everybody was leaving for carnaval. But of course we made it worth our while. Even my brother, who is not a fan, came out. We said bye to the boys as they are staying longer for carnaval, so jealous bout that.
Friday we went to this island and were only this gorgeous island. The water was clear it was like moving glass. Absolutely beautiful. Shouldve gone there awhile ago. From all the sun and lack of sleep I was exhausted. But I mustered up some energy to go check out the carnaval activities in the city for a bit with my family. I was finding that I was falling asleep and asked to be taken back home while my family stayed for a salsa show that was going on. I had finished packing and was ready to go home. I had to be @ the school @ 6am that meant I got bout 3 hours or sleep. I said bye to my brother cuz he was the only one awake and got on the bus to the airport. Home was just a 5 hour flight away.

Cuidad dormir
Una paliza pulso
Vivir latina

O mi Panamá
Azul, brisas, taxistas
nunca olvidé
