It really isn't cool that just when you begin to feel like you belong in a city and even feel a little like a native, people treat you like stupid Americanos. This happened twice yesterday!
So, Thursday morning I was getting on the bus to go to school (haha sounds like I'm back in elementary school) and I was with about 8 other kids in my program. We all put our tickets in and paid for the ride but as soon as we sat down the driver tried to accuse us of not paying. It was this huge ordeal and we had to basically scream at him and tell him that we all had paid! He was trying to rip us off and figured he could since we were American.
Then last night, Zoe and I went to a club that we've been to about ten times before. We get up to the bouncer and he asks how old we are. We told him and then he asked for ID's! I've never been asked for my ID before and I don't have one anyways since my wallet got stolen. We decided to wait around for our guy friends to show up to see what they could do. The bouncer was just clearly being a jerk because when our guys even showed him their ID's he wouldn't let them in, or the 30 other Americans trying to get in. But in the meantime he was letting every Spanish person through. It was so much crap. We were all so mad.
These things don't make me want to come home though. I still am so sad I have only two weeks left! I can't believe it!
