Currently, I am preparing for my "graduation" from Spanish in Chile. How exciting. We are going to have a lunch tomorrow to celebrate our success (obviously I have had much success because I can adequately express to a cab driver where I need to go). I am really excited for our lunch. Supposedly, it will be a real Chilean experience. I am assuming that means a lot of meat and lots of alcohol. It could end up being a very long day.
I have really enjoyed the Spanish program and the other people in the program. They are really nice and pretty fun. We had an impromptu dance party this evening which included lots of photos, I'm sure they will be coming soon. A few Chileans showed me some moves, so be prepared for my return. You should fear it.
Here is a list of things I would like you all to appreciate because I miss them:
Peanut butter, oh the sweet, protein filled taste of peanut butter.
Shopping in a grocery store and understanding what you are purchasing.
Sunscreen not locked up (in Chile it is in a glass case and it takes approximately 17 minutes to find someone who has the capability to open it).
Being able to articulate your thoughts at your own personal level.
Here is what you are missing:
Really good wine.
Really good empanadas.
Rhythm.
Funny conversations and agreeing to almost anything because you don't want to be offensive (i.e. a bbq/dance party/English lesson).
Pictures to follow.
Have a great weekend.
