amorousodiousThe title of this chapter is actually the title of a poem that we read for my Latin American Literature class, which means literally "defend the happiness." Jesús said it was a fitting poem for us to study on Friday because the weekend in and of itself is a defense of happpiness.
What was a better defense of my happiness was taking my last exams, although I wish I could be a little more confident that they turned out well. We’ll see come Monday I think. I was thinking all day about having fun and going out to celebrate the end of exams, but when it came right down to it, the point was that sleep came first, and since sleep had been somewhat disturbed by dreams of being kicked out of the program for poor exam performance over the last week, I was looking forward to a good 8 hours of rest.
So instead of going out Alicia and I wasted our Friday night (and according to Lucía, we’re watching our juventud, or youth, fly by without us) sitting in our room eating chocolate and taking one of those personality-type tests. The chocolate is important by the way, because we have an addiction and we tended to deprive ourselves this past week waiting until the end of exams. All in all, pretty much a good and relaxing evening to mark the end of exam week.
