We picked out boat to leave Uruguay so that it would work out nicely with dropping Balci off at the airport.  All was well until on the boat.  Turns out there was a technical problem, so the boat took 1.5hrs instead of 50minutes.  That cut into our timing a bit, so when we arrived in BA Balci had to make some haste.  High-five and a hug later Balci was in a cab on his way to the airport.  I'm glad that Balci was able to come down for a visit since I hadn't seen him in about two years and we always have a great time causing trouble together.  He claimed he was going to take a month off of boozing, he said he could use some sobriety after the constant partying we had been doing.  I felt the same way, little did I know what was coming.
 
After Balci got in his cab, I headed to the bus station.  With less than a week to go before I leave Argentina for good, there was no question where I was going to spend the last week. La Cumbre.  Got to the bus station in BA and it was an utter mess.  Fuck.  Semana Santa (Easter Week).  Apparently the bus station has been a mess the past few days since everyone was clearing out to visit family for the weekend.  Every single seat was taken.  Absolutely zero space today.  Booked a ticket the following day.  I'm not religious, so excuse me for saying 'fuck religion and it having to always get in the way.'
 
Stuck in BA for the night, I gave Abi a call to see if I could crash at his place for the night.  I received good news and bad news from Abi.... 'Hell yea you can stay and we are going out partying tonight to celebrate my getting accepted to a hospital in San Fransisco!'  Fuck.  Apparently today is 'Match Day' or whatever they call it in the Medical field.  It's the day that every single Med student in the US finds out where they were accepted for their residency.  Abi had just heard that he got accepted to his second choice, meaning we were now going to go celebrate.  Celebrate by going out to dinner and then partying.... meaning drinking.  Drinking.  Fuck.
