"¡Te queda poco!"

You´ve only got a little bit left! Tío reminds me at least twice at every meal. Te queda poco.

Well despite the fact that he´s annoying, he´s correct. I´m wrapping up at all ends. I´ve finished all of my work at the office and now spending the rest of my time bothering my colegas and taking advantage of free internet to plan my voyage. The past week hasn´t been filled with too much work anyway. I´ve recently assumed the role of party planner for the office. Monday I spent the afternoon buying and preparing completos (uber decked out hot dogs, a chilean delicacy) for a goodbye celebration for my friend Koni. Then Wednesday I spent all afternoon decorating and preparing for a surprise birthday celebration for my jefecito. My officemates have discovered the convience of my disposable labor. Little did they know that organizing social events is my expertise. Fortunately, the celebrations continue on this week. Last night was Javier´s birthday and we sang and ate torta together and we are going to celebrate on Saturday by making a curanto (a dish that includes various kinds of seafood and carne that you cook in white wine). Tonight, I´m going out to the disotecas with the girls in the office to celebrate my departure. And next Friday they´ll have a despedida celebration for me in the office. All of this includes an incredible amount of cerveza, torta, dancing, facebook pictures and energy. But what a way to go out, right?

Tuesday will technically be my last day in the office and in the afternoon I plan on shipping out to Argentina. Unfortuantely I kept pushing back my trip to Bariloche and now its going to be soaked in rain. But I have no choice because I need to update my visa. I´m not sure how much the place has to offer in the rain, so I´ll try and find a really cozy hostel. At least I´m getting out of here before the rainy season. It would really suck to be here without any sunshine. Anyway I´m going to get back to my other tasks. I plan on writing a whole slew of mushy notes to my friends in the office and making some sort of gift for the family. I´m planning on making my boss cry, and hoping that Tía doesn´t cry too much. Sometimes it seems like my life is just one big series of goodbyes. But as always, its nice to leave a place knowing your presence mattered and you will be remembered and missed.
