So much i haven't written about, i dont know where to start...
I guess i'll go ahead and start at finals week.
Monday: it was the physics test but my friends from AFS that had been here for a year were leaving so i went to say good byes instead. IT WAS SO HARD. i am the WORST person in the world to say goodbuys. i never know what to say besides "te quiero tanto y te extrañaré mas q la chucha" (love you and i'll miss you more that the ____) After that i was invited to go to a friends house but i was so tired and didn't really know how to get back to my house so i just went home.
another day that week was the Bio test but i didn't take bio so i went to school and read and then after the test got out (10am) and went to go get my friends nose pierced. in the end we didnt find a place that was good and clean that would do it for under 18 so she didnt get it done. After another test (hhistory friday) we went to santiago towe went to a street called Bandera. this is a street where they sell clothes from the US hella cheap. i found 3 sweaters from colorado, one Nuggets, one broncos and one CU boulder. I bought a yellow volcome long-sleeve shirt and a teal sweater that says "mountain climbing grandma" on the back, i'm glad no one understands its meaning....After that i ment up w/ a friend to go to the Carrete of a school called San Ignacio del Bosque. the party was a bit fome but hanging out w/ my friend was nice. we went to her house to sleep and i pent the day there before i realized that i needed to get home to pack for 234
234 EXPIERENCE:
we left the house sunday morning and went to the CVX house in santiago where we ment up w/ our cuadrilla(work group), got instructions and then headed off in metro to Peñalolen which is the neighborhood in Santiago where we worked.
My cuadrilla was definalty THE BEST!!! we sang and danced. i taught them the banna song and we learnt one in dutch (because there was also an exchange student from Belgium in my group) and was sang them the whole time we wern't listinging to the music from the iPod touch that one girl had.
In total there were about 24 other exchange studentes. but the difference between them and me was that i was the othly one who 1) had been here for more than 2 weeks and 2) i was the only one who chose to go. for the rest is was obligatory w/ their program. Most of them didnt have any problems but i talked to one form the group from Chicago (there were 8) she said "i have reached a new level of hell" this was on the 3rd day i think but then i talked to her the last day and her mind changed a bit fortunatly.
Pega: the traslation of this word is basically work, i didn't figure this out untill after i had confused myself about 3 times. my cuadrilla's pega was in a pre-school for kids from 2 to 5 years.
most of the work was to paint and clean the gutters/roof. when the guys were up cleaning the roof one fell throuh the roof over the patio. luckily he didnt get hurt at all but it was scary.
we also played w/ the kids. in comparasion w/ Techo para Chile, i liked Techo better just because it was sooo cold this time but the people in CVX are so amazingly nice that i had equally a great time!!!
2nd week of vacations:
well todays friday so i have a few days left but so far i've:
slept, cooked, went to fantasinladia, gone to Santiago, tried to go skiing but in the end didn't because it snowed (and when it snows its impossible to get up there and ski) and slept over at a friends house. tomorrow i'm gonna have a little junta (party) with the students in my generation (there a 60 in total but not all will come). and then monday i hope to take my sister to see toy story or shrek. Tuesday school starts and i stuck a little note to lolliepops to give to my friends.
And now i better start to pack b/c i have a whole bunch of **** to fin in to my two bags.
WAAAA I DONT WANT TO LEAVE, but afortunalty i'm coming back to beautiful colorado in the summer
=D
