The weekend

I figure that while I am home and have the time..i should try and write what I can...as I´m heading away in 3 days (wow...craziness). Friday, after history (in which after I quickly wrote my blog I actually got a lot done, and have all the info that I need for my test, plus more i think....), we had math. Once again, did absolutely nothing and chatted with classmates and such. I had been worried in the morning, cuz there was a mandatory meeting for apoderados (ie parents/guardians) the night before..and mine hadnt´gone. Usually, the apoderado has to come in and explain their absence and yada yada....but nothing was said to me, and life continued as normal. I was extremely tired friday afternoon/night because of the lack of sleep from the nights before, going out til late and having to get up for school. Therefore, I didn´t go out friday night and just hung out with my family. I still went to bed around midnight tho...and woke up saturday around 10. I then decided to work on some scholarship applications for school next year...and so looked up scholarships, downloaded applications etc for about an hour. It´s overwhelming to look at...because everything is more complicated with due dates, reference letters, transcripts etc...along with other things. I am so glad that I don´t have to apply for school while I´m abroad!!! After lunch, I walked to the zona franca to look for sunblock and other stuff for my upcoming adventure....didn´t find it....but it was a good walk anyways, minus the fact that for some reason the back of my ankle got irritated, and started to bleed (stuff like that always seems to happen to me here....) it´s weird cuz the walk is like 10 -20 minutes..and i walk to school in those shoes and nothing happens. At around 4, a friend (Gabi) came over and then we went out for a walk, where we met up with some other girls in the class and hung out with them. Funny story (altho maybe it´ll be a you had to be there moment....) a guy in a military uniform was walking towards us, and some of the girls were joking that it was my pololo coming (boyfriend...) then Gabi and i went to go get some ice cream, and when we came back..the guy was sitting like 3 feet away from the group of girls. Gabi and i started laughing like crazy (muerto con risa..ie dying with laughter), it was a bit awkward. When we left..i asked who the guy was, and the girls had no idea...he had asked them a question and then sat down. so awkward and funny..lots of laughs. At about 7, I went to go help out with the english debate group (we were sposed to be there at 7 sharp...i´m becomng a bit chilean and sometimes late for things....bad!!! altho I am still early by Chilean standards.) There was nobody home when I arrived, so I listened to some tunes as I waited for Harold to come by to head out for the night. He came around 11..and around 12 a friend of his came to get us here. We first went to una parcela (like a cabin outside the city) but it wasn´t overly interesting..so left awhile later. It did have a gorgeous view tho..the city at night (unfortunately i had forgotten my camera...) We then went to the disco....but were missing some money, and i and another girl didn´t have our id cards. I taught her how to speak bad spanish like me.....haha, and a few phrases in english..cuz she is blonde with blue eyes so could pass for a foreigner. She didn´t need them..and we eventually got enough money to get in. Stayed there until about 4 30ish.....(the girl i was sposed to go home with left...so harold and i went in cab to my place, arriving around 5ish....we had to get money for the cab first.) I felt bad about arriving home late (it was starting to get light when i got hom....craziness!) but my host family was still not home. I washed my hair in the sink..cuz i had fresh sheets and didn´t want them to smell smoky:) I didn´t sleep overly well, which was surprising. In the morning..i heard a knocking type sound..but didn´t think much of it until it had continued for a good 10 minutes or so (at least it felt like it..) my host sister was locked out. I couldn´t sleep after that. At about 1ish...Gabi came by again and we went to car races. It was a fair ways out of town, and nothing like sauble speedway. there were however 3 accidents (right after the other....and near the end, hence after the 3rd, the races stopped early.) I got home and talked to my host family.. whom i hadn´t really talked to in like 2 days. Then watched walk in the clouds with mema and johanna and went to bed around 12. (ps..good movie) Today, was the 2nd round of the english debate. We won!!! I was super proud of the group from my school..they did an amazing job, and I fully agree that the internet should not be censored!! There is one more round..and if they win the round, go to santiago. I´ll only be around to help for 4 days, but after that have told them to email me arguments for me to proofread and call my cell for other questions. We´ve had some good times. After, a few of us went to a cafe with one of the profs to celebrate. It was yummy...and now here i am....
Should head out...things to do...
que te vaya bien
