killin time in the airport

Well....i arrived at the airport to board my plane, a few minutes late really to be the hour early (which is not necessary in this airport...9 and learned that my plane is an hour late, so time to kill....although since I haven`t blogged since after my torres del paine trip, good opportunity. Travels you may ask? Yes...i am heading off to visit some friends in Santiago, visit Valparaiso and Viña del Mar, and my cousin in Chillan. (Chilean cousin...she came to brasil with us and is lots of fun). I hope to see some exchange friends as well. What have i been up to the last while?? Well, I have been busy visiting friends, meeting lots of new people...etc etc. It`s awesome meeting new people, and there are a lot of them i wish I had met earlier in the year. I am down to very little time left, and therefore eager to spend every moment I can with other people. I have a feeling this next month I will be super tired most of the time for lack of sleep. When I get back from the north, my host dad will have arrived home. I haven`t seen him since the 15th of march. And that was only for a week (if you remember, he didn`t come to brasil with us.) It will be good to have him back, but super different! I am gone for 9 days. Some of my classmates thought that when I left school today, I was leaving for ever, and some almost started to cry. (others knew I was only going for 9 days, and were super sad about it anyway...what are they going to do when i leave for ever??) Ì got bronchitis last week, `(that never ending cold from torres del paine got worse...) and so spent last tuesday afternoon, wednesday, and thursday at home. The first day was a nice relaxation, but after that I got bored and was happy to return to school friday. It was el dia del alumno (the day of the student) and we had an assembly in the morning. Afterwards, my class went to the multipurpose room where we watched movies of pics of my class. The first was funny pics, the second pics of groups of two (joke couples, actual couples etc..) and the third all pics of groups, with a song about when you grow up and such. There was a group that was crying, and afterwards the prof started talking and we ended up almost all crying. Especially when they handed out notes written by the parents at their meeting. clau`s parents wrote me a letter, because my host parents don`t go to the meetings, and they couldn`t get in contact with my parents at home. (it was a surprise, so they couldn`t exactly ask for the email of my rents...) Well..i heard an announcement about the flight..so I better go figure out what exactly it said..i wouldn`t want to get left behind.
All my love,
