Swing. The days, the emotions, go from one extreme to the other. I was so frustrated yesterday. Things were going wrong at work. I just didn't want to speak Spanish anymore! I just want to go home and go to K-Mart and Taco Bell and have a big juicy hamburger at Mr. Joe's! But today, I had a good day at work. Still a long day -- 9 hours. I talked quite a bit with María Carmen. It will be nice to practice Spanish with her. I talked with French Frank about maybe living together in September when he returns. We'll see. He's really such a nerd. There's this really cute German guy (I don't remember his name) who I've been talking with a lot lately. I met him through Gitta. I miss her! I was thinking a lot about Andre today, too. Frank, George and I played pool at Bolivia. Man. It made me think of being there with Ronnie and the gang. That was 3 months ago! Wow!

Had another good day at work today. I got PAID! 60,000 pesetas! ($600) That'll help traveling costs with Bob. I'm determined not to be stingy with my money while he's here. It would be nice to just "live it up" for 2 weeks. Mitchell is so nice. I didn't even have to remind him that I wanted to get paid soon. He just said, "Today's the 15th, you wanted to get paid today." That was it. He's got a good style. For example, he went out and bought an audio board without telling the other partners. It was needed, so he just got it. Explain later. I think I'm going to stay in tonight, even though I'd kinda like to go out. To the gay dance bar maybe. But I have to work tomorrow morning! Yes, I'll have plenty of time to go out later. Now I have to work hard. Another 8 hours today.
