hi miss c. i know this must feel weird to you and i that im leaving this but i can not just stand her at home and do nothing while i knowingly sit here in my leather couch thinking how i treated the only person that cared about me like shit (excuse my french). i type this in regret knowing that you where right all along. for my horrible behavior to you towards you, i plead for your forgiveness. contact me if you want to tell me about your little adventure.
ps on stephen’s article entry on aug 7 “why Buuenos aires”, i think he made a typeo on reason 3 and i quote “Ba will allow to us to live a city life…..”
with care, love, and regret,
jesus orozco
ms.c, ex student
Hi Jesus. I don’t remember you for those bad moments. I remember an extremely smart kid with a passionate writing voice who challenged me to be good at my job and make class interesting. I appreciate your apology though. Keep reading the blog and sending me updates about all the great things you do in the next few years. I will absolutely miss you and everyone from Locke, and I’d love to hear how things are going. Hopefully we’ll hear from each other soon:)
Thank you so much this really give me peace now i just have to say sorry to all 9th and 10th years teacher. thank you
hi miss c school is great how are you doing?
Hi Jesus. I am moving in about three weeks, so I’m very excited and a little nervous. I’m hoping I’ll be able to learn Spanish quickly. What’s different about Locke this year? How have all the changes gone? (Good to hear from you:)
hi ms.c sorry it took so long to type back i have been busy with job interviews lock is locke i just took the cashee and im + i passed it with flying colors.
Jesus!!! Congratulations – That is so fantastic. Keep pushing … now, you can spend all your time preparing for and getting amazing SAT scores:) Sorry it took me soo long to write this. I haven’t checked this page in a while, but you made my night:)
Hey, love the blog! I saw that one of your to-do’s was tango. When I spent time in Argentina I absolutely loved taking lessons at this place: http://www.lacatedralclub.com/. I think its 5 pesos a person and you can stay there until 6 in the morning. On fridays they usually have live music come play as well. Enjoy!
Hey Ken,
We recently went to La Catedral for our first tango lesson and dancing. Had a blast and will definitely return. Thanks for visiting our blog!
What an awesome blog you’ve got! My name is Alejandro, I’m from Mexico and when I arrived for the first time in Buenos Aires your travel tips were really useful!!
Now a days I’m working as a Marketing Assistant at Urban Station which is the first place designed especially for mobile workers. We have 2 Branches in Buenos Aires, and I think you would really enjoy the experience! We want to invite you to visit us when ever you feel like it!!
If you guys wanna come let me know so I can get you some free passes and arrange a mini-tour so you can really understand Urban Station and the way we work!
Really looking forward hearing from you!
Enjoy Working Differently!
Alejandro Cifuentes!
Hi Alejandro,
I’ve worked in Urban Station and liked it, but it’s too expensive to keep doing. Thanks for visiting our blog.
