This morning Priscilla left at 7:30 for her doctor's appointment. Though she left me some breakfast, she forgot to light the gas for hot water. I, being a scared wimp who can't stop thinking of the possibility of igniting the house and burning down the building by accident, was unable to light the heater myself and had to make-do with freezing water to wash my tangley ratty hair. As I dried my hair and ate my breakfast, I got to watch Runaway Bride. I think it just might be my favorite movie.
I caught a colectivo to school but experienced something new- the driver asked me how much I normally pay? It was a little embarrassing- he asked me about four times before I could decipher what the heck he was saying. Too bad Chileans speak faster and more blended Spanish than any other Spanish-speaking people in the mundo.
I thought I felt better when I woke up this morning but actually felt 200 times worse at school. Lauren and
I are both sounding horrible...but both of our moms have been making us their own tea/lemon remedies.
Lunch (and dinner) was DE-LI-CIOUS...somethingo somethingo italiano with rice. YUM.
Lauren, Nicole, Liz, and I went to Starbucks for a good while tonight. It's almost too good o be true- as soon as I walked out the door to go home I had to remind myself I was in Chile. How did I suddenly remember to remember? The dog parade that never ends was going on right outside the door. SO MANY DOGS EVERYWHERE!
Balty drew me a picture tonight...he's really obsessed with this Crayola magic marker thing that he just found in his room today. He's going to be the best big brother EVER!

Something I can't wait to do when I get home- cook. I'm creating a mental note of each meal we eat and writing a recipe book in my head. Something I probably won't be adding to the list of delicious foods I can't wait to share with the fam back in the States.....COW STOMACH. Apparently we are having it for lunch tomorrow. I'm seriously nervous.
Later,
Lesley
