So I have started the backing up and deleting process which is really hard for me because I like to have several copies of all my pictures stored in different locations! I also like having my pictures in iphoto for viewing & reminiscing purposes.
Ok sorry. That was really boring.
A couple of weeks ago I moved into my new apartment- and it's made all the difference! I barely take the metro or busses anymore... and when I do have to take the metro it's a 5 minute walk to the "Los Leones" stop. It's on the red line which runs through the neighborhoods that I usually go to...so I conveniently never have to switch lines. The main downside to the apartment is that there is no dryer...and as it is winter here...my clothes have been drying on the terrace for about 4 days now. I am sock-less.
I was able to do a little more traveling this last month! I went to Quisco, Chile (a costal town not far from Santiago) with Jorge and his friends. 9 or so of us stayed in Pablo's family cottage in Quisco for a long weekend in May. It was really great to be included on the trip...we went to Pablo's regatta, had an asado, went down to the beach (it was REALLY cold though!). The whole thing made me miss my friends a lot and I mayyyy have felt homesick for the first time. Being with a group of friends who have known each other a long time is hard enough, add that to the fact that they were speaking another language. That aside, it was a really fun weekend and it's always great to see another part of the country!
Last weekend (June 5th) I went to BUENOS AIRES! Celine (my friend from Duoc) and her roommate, Sonia (a Spanish girl studying here) and I couch-surfed and ended up staying with a really nice guy named Santiago and his brother Frederico. More on that later...that post will require A LOT of photos because B.A is incredible!
I just got back from the U.S vs. England soccer game. Luckily, I like soccer...because this country has gone totally loco. Life is pretty much going to be on pause here whenever Chile plays! For example, my campus has sent up a black tent in the middle of the patio that has a big screen so the kids can see the games...and NOT COME TO CLASS. Real smart. Those students who aren't failing already probably will this month.
That's pretty much it for now.
Hopefully I'll have a Buenos Aires post up soon!
