Second Weekend

My last entry found me in class, and now again...I am in class, kind of. I´m supposed to have music, but the prof isn´t here. So the rest of my music class is joined up with art and they are practicing for their english puppet shows later in the day, which I get to just watch. So...my life since friday. Well, friday night I went with Johanna and Maxiel for about a half hour walk, and then Gonzalo picked me up to go to a volleyball tournament. Two of his friends were there also. He told me that I came to Chile at a great time, because the day after I arrived, a law was passed that prohibits smoking in public places (apparently discos aren´t public?). Otherwise, people would have been smoking in the gym while a volleyball game was taking place. Craziness!! I was back home at 11, and decided not to go to the disco with Johanna and Claudia (another friend...) because I was tired and getting up semi early in the morning. I watched some TV with Mema and then headed to bed. At 9 the next morning, I got up and quickly got dressed and then went to work with Braulio (my host dad). He works at the military base, so I got to see that. I see army people in the streets all the time, like on their way to and from work. At home, we ate lunch. While the rest of the family had a siesta, I decided to go for a walk. I was home an hour and a half later. It was very nice!! That night, we went to the celebration of my 'uncles' birthday. Johanna, my cousin (Oscar) and I took a bit of a detour on the way back from dropping of Oscar´s grandma at home. We stopped at a different disco for a bit, El Templo. I saw several people I knew there, more my age than Kamikaze. Then we headed back to the festivities, to get home at 5 30 in the morning. I´ve always disliked sleeping away the day, but I didn´t wake up on sunday til 4:30 in the afternoon. I was displeased with myself. After..a meal, i don´t know what to call it, I tried to use the internet, but it disconnected frequently, and then went for an awesome run! The family dogs followed me...which I wasn´t overly pleased about, but no biggy. Then I wrote a letter home (to be sent soon mom and dad) and then tidied my room, read a bit, and headed to bed. School this morning, and I´´m thinking about my friends who are either heading back to high school, starting university classes/frosh week. Have fun guys!! My castellano teacher had my analyze a short poem this morning, and I got the meaning, but had a lot of grammar mistakes in my answer! Still lots to learn. Well...I´m gonna do some other emailing, then head back to class i guess...ciao!!Much love...jode
