98 degrees

...And no I don´t mean the 90´s boy band. It´s 98 degrees in Chile! While you all are getting to miss work and school we´re having perfect weather and have absolutely no chance of missing classes. Well, I have finally found myself in the computer lab. I think Alex may have just cried because he´s so happy. Hahaha. He´s uploading photos which are really large, so I probably won´t have the patience to wait till he´s done to go upload mine. For the record, if you see a really awesome photo of the inside of the church at San Pedro through the eye of the door, that was my idea : )

If you´d like to see them:

We´re going out with our tutoras (tutors) tonight to experience the nightlife. Should be interesting. They are girls about our age who are supposed to show us what it´s like to be a Chilean at our age. We´re also going to some other cool neighborhoods where we can find cheap clothes and stuff. (Not tonight, but in the next few weeks)

Argentina tomorrow!! A group of 6 of us are hopping on a bus to go to Mendoza for the weekend! Tomorrow we´re also making a stop at the Chilean form of UN, called CEPAL. Should also be interesting.

School is going well, although there is a lot more reading than I expected. Dr. Cass just told us to try and do as much as you can but to make it a cultural experience too. This is kind of hard because we have a lot of work each night, about a 2 hour dinner, then waking up for class at like 6:45. It´s basically a Chilean furman haha. The other day we went to this theater in a park and watched a play, it was really fun. They had popcorn there, but I wasn´t sure how to say it in Spanish....so I didn´t ask for any.

Everything else is good! On my t.v. at night I get to watch Friends, Desperate Housewives, Seinfeld, and Scrubs.

More about Argentina probably on Sunday!
