Chichichi Lelele Vive Chile!

Chile won their World Cup game today! It would be impossible to be here and not know that because horns are honking, people are going wild, and there are tons of blowhorns everywhere you go. They played at 7:30 this morning and the whole city was excited about it. I woke up to take my host sister to school and all the cars were honking their horns, the students were dressed in red, white, and blue (I felt at home) and flags were all over. It was a rude awakening for me because I had made a deal with my students that we could have a party if Chile won, so I had been preparing for the party until 2 in the morning the night before. Needless to say, I was less than thrilled about all the noise, but decided to get into the spirit anyway.
I dressed up as a soccer player for school, carried a soccer ball around with me and tried my feet at dribbling it, but alas, I am no futbolista (soccer player). We spent the day doing the cheer from the title of the post, my students harassed me about being from the United States, and we danced to Waka Waka about 30 times. I would like to defend my choice of class by saying it would have been nearly impossible to have a real class because there was so much energy. It was incredible.
I feel pretty lucky to be able to be here and experience all the excitement.
I have heaps of videos to share, but google no longer uploads videos so I'm not sure how to share them, anyone have any tips?

Here is my host sister (on the left) and her friend. We made those headbands the night before. I am so patriotic!
