In the following dialogue, you will find out three characters who are facets of my personality. They are:
IG: innocent girl
RG: realistic girl
PG: positive girl
PG: All right girls...Who’s going to drive the car?
IG: I don’t know. Everytime I get in a car I fall asleep.
RG: mmm...all right, all right...I’ll do it then, but one of you will have to stay awake to chat with me 'cause I easily get bored while I’m driving, especially at night.
IG and PG: (looking at each other) Ok, that’s fair...
After a while the girls start their travel to the Coast in Argentina. Once they are in the road, they start talking about themselves...
PG: All right RG, why don’t you tell us something about you?
RG: Well, there’s not much to say. I’m studying hard to get my degree as soon as possible because I want to get a job. I know it’s going to be difficult because of the current situation in our country but I’d really like to get my dream job and I’ll work hard for it. Besides, I want to move on to live by my own.
IG: Really? And you won’t miss your family?
RG: Yeah...I suppose that will happen at the beginning, but I’m already a grown up girl adn I need my own space, you know?
PG: Yeah, I get it, and I’m pretty sure you’ll succeed at it.
RG: I hope so. And what about you, IG? What can you tell us about you?
IG: All right, for the time being I’m studying to get my degree soon and I want to start a new career.
RG and PG: you what??
RG: C’mon girl. You haven’t even finished one and you want to start another? And which career are you going to start to study?
IG: Fotography, and yeah...I know it’s going to be difficult. Especially because this career is a little bit expensive and I’ll need to get a job to afford it, but I’m sure everything will be fine.
RG: And are you in love?
IG: Well, I really don’t know. Now I’m dating with a guy but it’s not serious yet.
RG: Oh...then you can’t be in love. You’re barely getting to know each other...
IG: Yes, but I really like this guy...
RG: Ok,that’s fine. But you can’t say you don’t know if you’re in love if you have just met and you don’t have anything serious. Do you know what I mean?
IG: I guess so. But I think he’s the right guy.
RG: Why do you say so?
IG: Because we get on well each other.
RG: Well,I have boy-friends to whom I get on well and I don’t think they are the right guys for me...
PG: Well RG, try not to be so negative!Why don’t you let her think he is the right guy?
RG: Because she is extremely innocent and men will treat her as a fool! (talking to the IG)You have to see the real world girl! Here we don’t have princes who will rescue us. We have men who, in the majority of the cases, do what they want with innocent girls as you so be careful!
IG: Thanks for your advice, but I’m an adult and I know what I do, and there’s nothing wrong in trusting in someone you love.
RG: A ll right...as you like it. I’m just warning you.
IG: Ok, and PG...you haven’t told us anything about you...
PG: Well, what can I tell you about me?...This year I’ll be getting my degree and I’m going to get a job. I hope to get my dream job and work with children. Two years ago I had the pleasure to work with children and I have to say they transmitted their energy and happiness to me. I really was fascinated with them and I’d them and I’d like to repeat that experience, but of course,this time being a teacher and not just a pasante.
IG: And what can you tell us about your personal life? Do you have a boyfriend?
PG: emmm...it’s not a boyfriend in fact. We have just met and we’re dating for the time being. We started being friends first so we really get on well each other. He’s a great person and he knows me pretty well. Surely we will have a great future as a couple.
RG: Well,that’s good...to start little by little, but what will happen if you both realize you are not made for each other?
PG: I think in that case we will continue our friendship. As I said before, we started being friends and it would be stupid to put an end to our friendship first because we,as a couple,didn’t work. Friendship would be more valuable in that case. But let’s try to think everything will be all right.
IG and RG: Yes,you’re right.
IG: emmm...girls...aren’t you hungry? I’m starving and I haven’t eaten anything since this morning...
RG: We should stop to buy some snacks and cigarettes.
PG: Yeah,I’ve just finished the last cigarettes and I’d like to buy some coffee. Don’t forget we have 7 hours left.
RG: Uf...you’re right. Let’s stop here and see what we can get.
