The level to which im nervous and excited about this Wednesday is just crazy.. Start of a new job? No, Going to some cool party in Manhattan? No, Watching Argentina beat Uruguay and qualify for the world cup? Hopefully. After watching the game on Sunday and almost having 2 heart attacks, throwing my phone across the room, and making so much noise my downstairs neighbor told me to keep it down, im not sure if i can take another close game. Palermo, who i haven’t liked from day 1, actually rescued Argentina from the most embarrassing loss ever. The conditions got horrendous at the end of the game and Peru scored quite luckily in the 90th minute. With 3 mins left i was close to crying! then Palermo does this . One of the best matches i had seen and made Argentina still have one more chance to wrap it up. Now the biggest game of their lives is on Wednesday in Montevideo. It couldn’t have been written any better, Argentina vs Uruguay both playing to qualify. Messi has alot of critics at the moment saying he isnt ready to step up when it counts. In the big games at the moments when someone needs to stand out, he dissapears, and he is in the shadow of his skills at barca. I think this is bullshit, he is the player that can change a game in a second, and i really think he will show that on Wednesday. For him there is no bigger stage than Wednesday night, and he & the rest of Argentina knows its probably the biggest game of his career so far.

On the job front, i had a great interview on Friday and another one today. Both went really well and i got good impressions from both companies. I have another interview on Wednesday for a little bit more money. Im in a position where hopefully im offered one or more of these positions as they are all relatively similar both duties and salary wise. It all comes down to where i think the best fit would be. But to be honest i would be happy to take any of them, as they are all great money and great experience.

Saturday night was strange to say the least. So its 2am, ready for bed and i get an sms from my house mate. ‘Come to this party, its great’ So instead of going to bed, i get dressed jump in a cab and 10mins later  im in Bushwick. Walk in to the strangest parties ever, its half art gallery half dance party. People on stilts, girls with hoola hoops, rooms dedicated to visual art pieces, other rooms filled with people dancing like crazy. Spent hours just walking around and exploring each room, and its own distinct vibe. Stayed for a few hours and met some cool people, ended up leaving with a sense that i never really understood what the hell was happening, but happy that i went out. My sometimes boring social life is restricted by the lack of income in my current situation, but i still try to say yes to everything. Im glad i went out because it was a really cool experience.

And finally, i am slowly.. very slowly.. learning guitar, as in i know can play 5 chords. Can i just say 2 things, OW! my fingers hurt and Guitar looks like a very long process to learn. Guitar lessons are definitely on the list of things to do and buy once i get a job. Didnt really realise how much an income can dictate other areas of your life, only so many times i can walk around doing free things. New York is an expensive city.  One last thing, i looked up qualifying for an e3, and i look all good on that end. Ill be using the same company i used for my current visa, but its still a long while off.
