Family Thursday

Finally had some time to catch up with family. Andrea and Luca came over last Thursday after months of not seeing each other. We live so close and yet our lives are so entangled and busy that we hardly have time to meet. I know this is mostly my fault, because I am the busiest of them all, but I am hoping that this year will be the last like this. Between work, uni, practical experience and tutoring I barely have time to spend with my immediate family. I keep thinking that it is all for a good purpose and that it will be over soon.

Finalmente tuvimos tiempo para vernos con la familia. Andrea y Luca vinieron a visitarnos el Jueves pasado despues de meses de no vernos. Vivimos tan cerca y asi y todo nuestras vidas estan tan enredadas y llenas de cosas para hacer que raramente tenemos tiempo de vernos. Yo se que mayormente es mi culpa, porque yo soy la que menos tiempo tiene, pero tengo la esperanza de que este sera el ultimo ano asi. Entre el trabajo, la facultad, los practicos y las clases de particular apenas tengo tiempo para ver a mi familia inmediata. Me digo a mi misma que el sacrificio es por un buen proposito y que pronto se terminara.

Anyway, we had a good afternoon and night, doing a bit of both worlds: going out for a drink and a stroll and having a nice dinner together. Dr Zalewski made an appearance and attempted to vaccinate Luca against the cat flu. Jokes aside this was the first time I saw Anton dressed with his lab coat and goggles. It was quite funny. I insist that his lab coat must be washed but Anton disagrees as he says it is continuously getting stained with chemicals....what an excuse.

De todas maneras, la pasamos bien. A la tarde salimos un poco a tomar algo y a caminar y a la noche cenamos juntos. El Dr Zalewski hizo una visita e intento vacunar a Luca contra la gripe felina. Bromas de lado esta es la primera vez que vi a Anton con su guardapolvo de laboratorio y con los anteojos. Fue re gracioso. Insisti que ese guardapolvo necesita un lavado pero Anton no esta de acuerdo diciendo que para que si continuamente se mancha con productos quimicos...que escusa bol....
