Indian mango ice cream, carrot cake.. and this other thing.
Our Base5 students treated us to lunch at Los Pinos today... they are so sweet <3 You're probably tired of reading this over and over and over again.. but I adore them so much!!! I'm gonna miss them so much, not just as my students, but also as friends, as I've learned a lot from them and about them within these two weeks. These people put a smile on my face every single day, and without a doubt, my experience here would have been less fun without them...
Left to right: Allen, Rocio, me, Javi, Cristina, and Hugo. Each of them has a distinct personality. Rocio is thoughtful and caring. Javi is really sweet and quiet. Cristina is super adorable and cheerful. Hugo is just very funny, and he makes me laugh.
After lunch, David picked us up to film the "interview" video around Santa Cruz. Bess and I didn't have time to be interviewed, but we got a chance to go shopping! :D
I still need to get souvenirs and gifts for Dr. Romero and David. It's extremely difficult to pick out gifts because I don't want them to be too impersonal, you know? I want the gifts to come from the heart because they truly made my experience here in Tenerife worthwhile. I wish there was also some way of showing the same affection to my fellows because throughout this journey, they were the ones who provided me the support and joy that I needed. I learned a lot from them, and I definitely found out so much about each of them as we dined and hung out together. I don't think we would have became friends at all if it wasn't for Atlantis Program because we're just so different... but I'm glad we did become friends, even just for a little while. So whether I like it or not, I'm gonna have to admit that Allen's right- "You're gonna miss me when I'm gone"
Sorry this is turning into a sappy blog again (agh, I thought I wasn't going to do this..!). But all these feels have nowhere else to go!
Anyway. Onto the bad news. It looks like I'll be with Esmeralda tomorrow again.. Ahhh Federico, why!? Why must you leave me with Esmeralda!?! :(
No worries. I think I'll "sneak" back into Gastro. Shhhhhh! I hope that won't be a problem. Dr. Romero will be there tomorrow.. maybe he'll pardon me. It's just I cannot stand Esmeralda. I just can't.
