Getting hooked onto... presentations?

So my deepest apologies to everyone's presentations that I missed on Wednesday and Friday. I was sick with some kind of stomach bug- not a great way to spend a week, if you ask me. The weather didn't help my gloominess either.

Anyway, being sick really made me a little upset, not just because I was feeling gross, but also because I was missing the presentations. Pathetic? Not gonna lie- just a little bit.

It's been so interesting to see what everyone's saying about the consumption of their telenovelas. Everyone, it seems, has been hooked by their protagonists and feels strongly about the storylines- believable or not. And the intrigue by everyone has made ME interested in watching a few of the telenovelas you all have talked about.

And all this interest is so relevant to the discussion topics we first discussed in class- about how big a part of Latin American culture this is. We've been first-handedly experiencing what a big part of OUR lifestyle it's become- can you imagine watching a telenovela every evening for your entire life? This has only been one semester!

Looking forward to the last week of presentations.
