Just a day in the life.....

Yesterday I got up a little earlier than usual to look over my presentation on Victor Jara.  He was a unique guy…a poor boy who grew up to become a famous singer, supporter of Salvador Allende, and husband to a ballerina.  The presentation yesterday went well and everyone else’s was really interesting.  Classes lasted for 5 hours yesterday.  In the first class we just did the presentations then talked about the Mapuches.  In the second class we did some grammar work then starting watching “Maria full of grace.”  It’s a really good movie…I saw it last year in Miss A’s AP class.  I’m the only one that’s seen it so it’s kind of funny watching everyone’s reactions and them trying to guess what’s going to happen because the ending is not typical so they’ll be surprised.  After that class we had another team building class with Lister and Rayén.  It lasted for about 20 minutes and we got to leave early.

Elizabeth, Laura Kate, Sarah Grace, Gardner, and I went to the Tur Bus office to get their tickets for Pucon.  While LK, SG, and Gardner got the tickets, Elizabeth and I went into Lider, basically a Chilean Wal-Mart.  Elizabeth got a new phone and pens and I was going to get a folder for class but they literally do not sell those anywhere in Chile.  The other 3 met us in there and after checking out we literally walked all the way across the city to get the best helado in town at Bravissimo….definitely the place where Elizabeth’s purse was stolen.  I had manjar with chocolate chunks. J  We left there and just went home.  When I got back I did my homework and we had dinner.  Then I went with Mama to the supermarket and on the way we stopped at literally 6 different pharmacies looking for one thing.  Pharmacies are on every corner here…especially Cruz Verde.  We never even found what she was looking for so we just went to the grocery store and she got milk and candy.  I also got some candy called Frugele that is soo good.  So yesterday night I def had cake at dinner, some chocolate, some caramel candy, and a frugele.  Wonder why Mama still asks me if I have a sweet tooth after that??
