It’s OCTOBER 23! Wow. I have one month left of classes…which is terribly exciting and frightening all at the same time. I have loads and loads of stuff to do. Paula and I compare it to a huge slide with the whole beginning of the semester being the long, slow climb to the top and now it’s time for the crazy ride. Yeeehaw.
Today was cloudy and chilly in the morning but the sun came out around noonish and really warmed things up. I had Short Stories and it was fun. I had to give a presentation on Jorge Luis Borges (who I am completely obsessed with — completely) but as the class is sooo small, there were four of us. We started the semester with 3, grew to 6, and then one girl had to go home because her cousin was killed in a car accident, and now we’re down to 5 and one girl didn’t come today. Anyway, as the class is so small and we’re all friends, it was more like a discussion. Halley and I both talked about Borges and Drew talked about Garcia Lorca Marquez and Meg talked about Cortazar. It’s really interesting to be in a Lit class with people who aren’t English Majors — they’re so refreshing because they’re not worried about sounding like a talking dictionary. :p
After class, Paula and I met up and went to Jumbo for no good reason. We ended up buying “onces” (tea time) in the cafe there — a huge piece of cake, half of a ham and cheese sandwhich, coffee and natural strawberry juice — and splitting it. That’s one thing that I LOVE about Chile and Argentina is that you can buy these “tea specials” which at their most basic are a coffee (or tea) and a piece of cake for a very reasonable price.
Then I came home and put away some laundry and answered some emails then lay down for a bit until Angela came home. I didn’t eat until 8:00. I’m so looking forward to my gringo eating schedule of approximately 12 and 6…I will NEVER get used to eating so late. Sorry, I’m being really emphatic with all my capital letters. I guess I’m just in a good mood. 
Anyway, I had a late supper and am just now settling down to look at some homework.
Will try to write more to recuperate for lost days this month. I’m glad I sent out the notice about the pictures…looks like a few people had a gander. Chile is pretty, no?
Ooh, new pictures, need to check those out.
Yeah, I have about a months worth of classes left… maybe 7 at most for all my classes. Can’t wait to get everything over with for the semester.
I got an iPod and I need to put more songs on it. It can play videos and keep photos too! I’m really excited about it.
Um… what else… oh, I have to get a cavity filled in an hour, fun times!
Hope you do well on everything!
oh yay! i’m so excited to go down there and eat cake! ^_~
