Nothing too exciting.
Heeeeeey! It´s meeeee! I´ll give you one guess on how things here have been... Yep, if you guessed anything like good or great or wonderful, then you are indeed correct. The sun is shining AGAIN today and we STILL haven´t gotten the rain everyone has been warning us about. I´m not saying it isn´t going to happen, it´s just that everyday we go without it is one more day to enjoy.
Ohh man. The dogs in this house are funny. I know the poodles can be kind of annoying, but they are slowly growing on me. Sometimes they are cute. I can tell them apart now (usually) and they are nice to me now because I pet them. They STILL bark at me, though, when I come home at night. That really needs to stop.
Today, in my international relations class, I found out that I have a 14 page paper to write on Haiti by the end of the semester. I can´t tell you how excited I am about that. Besides that we still haven´t gotten much homework. My cine class is really fun because all we do is watch movies and talk about them. Suprisingly history is interesting, too. We still haven´t had my literature class yet because our professor isn´t here this week.
I got to talk to my Dad on the phone yesterday. It was the first time I have spoken to anyone at home (without using a computer). It was nice. He said that he is thinking about coming down here in June for a weekend. That would be SUPER exciting for me. Not only would I be able to see him, but he could take home some of my clothes that I don´t need. Because I wasn´t sure what the weather here would be like before I came, I kind of just packed everything. As a result, I packed waaay too much and I really want to get rid of it.
This weekend a group of us are thinking about going to Chiloé, an island about 5 hours south of here. We have heard a lot about how beautiful it is, so we really want to go before winter (rain) comes. I´m really hoping it works out. Otherwise I don´t really know what I´m going to do this weekend.
I ran on Monday and then again yesterday. It was my first time out in 1.5 months, after the infamous stress fracture. It was very exciting because my foot seems to be completely healed. I didn´t have any problems at all when I was out there. Yea! The only problem now is that I´m incredibly out of shape and, as a result, incredibly sore today. I´m taking today off and then maybe I´ll go out again tomorrow. If we do go to Chiloé I probably won´t run there.
I guess that´s all. We should be having almuerzo in about 30 minutes and I am STARVING. I hope we are having something good! So far everything has been great, especially the salmon. Mmmmmm. Chao!
