When the countdown reached thirty, I think I might have actually done a dance out of pure excitement...
Now I'm kind of thinking: Colectivo rides, annoying people on the street, frustrating classes about Chilean culture/America...I think I might miss those things. So for the time being I'm content..
I just came home from class and WHAT DO YOU KNOW!? My favorite movie is on: "My Best Friend's Wedding"! The only problem....Balti (my new best friend) and I have a PlayStation date as soon as he gets out of the shower. I do kind of want to beat him at Indiana Jones but I have been WAITING for the day when this movie would finally come on in ENGLISH! Oh well, I'm sure that like with all movie channels, the movie will be on 4 times today :)
Lately things are pretty calm around here and its nice to not have traveling plans or lots of things to do for a change.
But here's a story:
Lauren and I took a little day trip to Renaca last weekend. After a nice couple of hours on the beach, we decided to cross the street and pick up some fries and a coke at Burger King. We waited in line for a little while and there was a line starting to form behind us. As always in a Chilean fast food line I was thinking to myself "fast food?!?!?" I'm pretty sure I could order a pizza and receive it faster than these fast food people can make a medium fry.
Anyways after about five minutes someone finally took Lauren's order. I was next. Out of nowhere comes this 40-something nicely dressed DUMBY with a coupon in hand. I know exactly what he was thinking:
"I have a free cone coupon, I don't need to wait in line." So he cut.
I was going to let it slip, until he continued to order a complete COMBO! As in...he didn't just want a free cone, he wanted the whopper, the fries, and the coke. I was fuming. I don't really know why that set me off....and before I knew it I was confronting him. I told him I was in line first and then accidentally called him an "imbecil"...not very nice but you know...Chilean men have to learn the lesson at some point.
LADIES FIRST.
The end :)
PlayStation calls.
Later,
Lesley
