I woke up this morning slightly nervous for our test in Antigringo's class but excited that I would have the house all to myself today. That might sound a little wierd...but every once in a while you really do just need a chance to crank the music, open the windows, and take a break from everything. We all do it here, I think.
The test was what I thought it would be- writing and writing and more writing about the most popular subject in the world- language and reality. I wrote until I got too annoyed/tired/confused why I was writing what I was writing and left for volunteer work. I wasn't too pumped about going to the children's home today but did anyways, and it all worked out in my favor. There were other volunteers there so I agreed to come back tomorrow.
In that case, I took a short trek to the beach and met up with Lauren and Nicole. Thankfully they were there- its interesting living without a cell phone. I've been out of minutes for a while now...need to take care of that tomorrow.
Later, I cleaned my room, talked with good friends in Oklahoma for a while (much needed), and just kicked back and relaxed....
....until I noticed that the construction workers next door can see into my room. AWKWARD!
Jemima, Corie, Nicki, Nicole, Lauren and I went out for Mexican food. It was super delicious and a definite attempt at a taste of home...but still no Fuzzy's tacos or Joe-T's. Also, I have a stomach ache which only means that I have become accustomed to the much different Chilean food. Going back home and eating super-rich American food will be tough on our lentil-trained stomachs.
My head hurts, I'm guzzling water, and I can't keep my eyes open. I think I may have had too much sun today.
Until tomorrow,
Lesley
