The weekend felt especially long.

Kings is being difficult. While I know they have made exceptions for people in the past they are insistant on not letting me write my thesis and complete my first workshop while in ecuador. This means putting off graduation a year. It also means I can't use the remainder of my trust or access health care as of the last day of August. I'm upset. I don't understand why the school is being so difficult. They were so happy when I told them about my internship in Ecuador. The dean said herself that this is the type of internship you get post graduation. And yet they wont budge. Sarah and I even made a call to Carleton to see about switching, but not enough of our credits will switch over so it would take just as long....although part of me wants to switch anyway out of anger.

Sarah is going to call the dean again tonight. Just because she wont budge doesnt mean we arent going to stop trying. If all it does is annoy her its still worth it.

Last night we went to salsa lessons at club caliente. A big group of my friends finally agreed to come out and try it. met the owner who invited us to the VIP party on friday night. Also found out that they know how to make the drink I fell in love with in cuba. They didnt have any coconut milk in to make it quite right, but the owner assured me they would have it in next time I came. its amazing what heels, a dress and a tropical drink can do for a persons mood.
