General: things I haven't talked about yet

Volleyball: Well I am obviosly playing middle. I'm a good 3 inches taller then the rest of my team mates. I really miss my setter Kimmy! Here we only run high sets, shucks. Practice goes from 4:15-6:30 ish on wednesday, thursday and friday and games are friday or Saturday. So far we have had 4 games and we are are 2-2. My serve is decent most of the time but every once and a while I mess up and my coach gets mad at me. Oops. It really funny when he gets mad at me though because he says something along the lines of "whats up, becky? Whats up?"
My shoulder is doing decently. It's weird not practicing everyday because i have days that it feels stong and days that is feels really weak. I'm trying to use the excersize bands to keep it in shape.

Parties: (hey my mom asked) So there are "carretes" and "juntas". A carrete is a party, party. Lost of people and soda and snacks. The drinking age is 18 so a party hosted by an 18+ person will most likely have some kind of drinks or people bring their drink. 18- parties usually have parents so if 18+ people bring alcohol it is brought it a small backpack. a Junta is a group of 6-10 people just hanging out. There is normally more food. Like snacks, sandwiches/pizza, and cake.
My birthday is in 2 weeks. I am planning my party. Right now what I think I'm going to do is invite a small group of girlfriends over for cake (which my friend is making for me) at 9-ish (like a junta) and then invite everyone else over at 10:30ish for the "carrete" part. I'll post about how it goes.

Movies: Movies don't come into theaters until like a good month (or MORE!) here. Alice in Wonderland is a special case because of the terremoto but it will be coming out the 13th(-ish) of May. I am really excited. Movies are also really cheep here. some thearters charge as low as $1.500 pesos which is $3.00 USD!!!

Weather: I have decided that I prefer when it is cold and it snows because it feals like the is an actual purpose to it being so freaking cold. Here it is cold, coLD, COLD, expecially in the morning, and without a purpose ie: no snow. I went to buy the school sweats today but they had run out. I have no idea how I will make it through the winter in a skirt. I hope I will be buying leggings soon though...

Food:
some one asked me on form spring:"what are empandas?"
Empandas are a typical chilean food. They look a lot like smaller calazones (the italian pizza folded in half). They are bake or fried and the most common fillings are cheese, pino and mariscos. My favorite are the baked pino. Pino is a mix of ground beef, hard boiled eggs and olives. yummy. =D
Also porotos are a super common food here. I heard the best frase today "soy más Chileno que un poroto" which means "I'm more Chilean then kidney beans". hahahaa. I'm my house we have eaten a soup with kidney beans, corn and potates multiple times and it is delicious!
Mayo: It is so common here. Of course it is probably more common anywhere in the world apart from my house. My mom makes a mayo and that is really the only time I eat mayo. Here it is if you want to try:
put 2 eggs in a blender. start the motor and slowly pour in vegtable oil. it takes about 5 minutes to get enough oil in the mix to get a mayo consistency. you will have to help the bender out with a spoon just don't put the utensil too low, you don't want bits of spoon in your mayo. Once it gets to a good consistency put in 1/2 a lemon(just the juice should i add) and some salt.
sorry i don't have ammounts. most recipies here are not make with ammounts. Like pan amansado. the only thing i know for sure is that there was 2 packets of levandura, a powered yeast, a hella lot of flour, some kind of butter that wasn't butter, salt, and water.
