Yesterday I went skiing. Well, first Carols and Christian convinced Erin and I to rent snowboards instead. That was interesting, but didn´t work out to well. We made it down the frist hill (in about an hour) clinging to the guys for our lives. By the time lunch came, I was ready to put on some skis and enjoy the mountains. It was the most ( Read more... )

Argg... if there is one thing that would prevent me from living here for the rest of my life it sure is that. I am craving some friends with testosterone, but that is virtually impossible here, seeing as Chilean men don´t want female friends. I am not one for stereotypes (unless a party is involved), but it just seems like every guy I have met ( Read more... )

I love going to the bars here. The music can not be topped. Last night, they played The Limbo, two salsa songs, and then Dr. Dre. It is so fun. Last night was Paula´s, the secretary at the international departments, birthday. We went to a bar in Valparaiso called Juevo. Juevo means Egg. I think that is weird. She left around 11pm, which here ( Read more... )

En serio... I never want to come home. I fucking hate Western, and if I do come home I am killing all those bitches. Sorry, I just had to get that one out of my system. Western has been totally jerking me around with my money and this entire study abroad thing, but it is really boring, so I will spare all of you. But, there is a chance that I ( Read more... )

That´s right. A Nazi. His name is Matis. The second day I was here, Domi, Felipe, Joquis, and I walked to their cousin´s house. Their aunt is my Chilean mom´s sister. They are 100 percent German and their parents came to Chile during the early 1900´s. A significant time before World War II. So, we got to their giant "casa china", or chinese ( Read more... )

Yes, as 20 Americans have told me in the last week. Chile is called CHILLY for a reason. It is fucking cold... ha ha. If I hear that one more time, I am never coming home. Ever ( Read more... )

Ahhh... nothing like John Lennon to bring a girl to tears ( Read more... )

Well, since the internet at my house here is loco, I have to go all the way to the far away campus of my university to use the internet for free. It is ok, before school starts, we don´t really have much to do around here anyway. I love my new family. They are so nice. I do feel as though my English is already suffering and if it was not for my ( Read more... )

It is terrible, I can´t really think of much to tell all of you. I am having a blast with Nate here. It has been fun. I leave for Santiago tonight around 11pm adn will get there 8am tomorrow morning. Yeah for plane rides that will be way to long. Tequilla here actually tastes good. Fun fun. I am nervous about my host family, I hope they love ( Read more... )

So my birthday "party" went from fun to fucking insane in a matter of seconds numerous times last night. I love you all, but you are all crazy. CRAZY. In the past few years, I have gained so many male friends and for that I am thankful. But, there is always that "When Harry Met Sally" complex lurking in the background. Why can't we all just ( Read more... )
