Ok this is the life.
I wake up at 10:30, look up, see the blue cloudless sky and know that after lunch in a few hours I will walk to the beach and spend the day in the sun with friends. Seriously- THAT is something I'm going to miss!
But I could do without the jackhammers as background music to my perfect mornings...
Two nights ago we went out for pizza with some friends from school and Carlos for the last time. It was alright- I think I would have rather stayed in and eaten with the fam. BUT we did see a Christmas parade and I really did tear up at the sight of Santa!
Last night we went to the movies and mall. It was fun but I think we all realized that we are sort of just sitting in limbo now- not waiting to BURST out of here but just ready for action and that action is going home. Or at least that's how I feel.
Lunch was fun yesterday- Balti wrote his letter to Santa at the lunch table. We all ate together (Priscil,Pato,Balti,me, and Octavia in the background sleeping). Priscilla told Balti that he was running out of time and that Santa may not receive the letter! Balti quickly ran to his room and returned with pen and paper.
His letter went like this (but in Spanish of course):
"Dear Santa.
I want a Wii controller. Hi, this is Balti and I am eating pasta with cheese and chicken. This year I have eaten almost all of my food. Bye. I have a sister and I hope you bring her something. I live at Amunategui 1535 Depto 22 Recreo Vina del Mar and Chile."
It was hilarious- Priscilla and Patricio did a good job staying serious and not laughing...I was struggling.
Last night we put lights on the tree- its looks great except I cant look at it for too long or I may start seizing or something...those things flash at 900 MPH. YIKES.
So today its a beach day. I should probably emerge from my room and get some breakfast. Also I know Balti is dying to play a new game that he downloaded on my iPhone last night.
Peace,
lesley
