So it's official... I'm only observant of unimportant things...

I will explain the title in a minute... :)

First, I'm going to start with last weekend.

Ok so Friday, I went to anther exchange student's house for an asado with other students from my club. (Asado is the Chileno version of Barbaque) I'm going to try and put up the least embarrassing pics cuz well we "danced" and ya those just don't need to be seen.

tehehe



Then Saturday, all the kids from the club went on a tour of the community where our club is. It was so much fun!!!!!!
 <><>
<><>
Most of us. All of us getting in the tree was Ulrik, Stendert and I's idea. haha

Ulrik and Stendert in the tree. They were too high up to get in the all of us pic.



All of us learning about the history of some native Chilenos that I don't know how to spell their name.




Then after that, some of us decided to go walk around the center of Santiago. We got pizza after visiting Santa Lucia and then somehow ended up by the art building. Ulrik had this great idea to take these pics... :)

All of us from the front. We were kinda hidden but ya :)

All of us from behind. Yes, I am the bright blue shirt.




Sunday... I just slept and relaxed. ahaha. Then school this week. I'm understanding more and more. I'm also learning to talk more and more in spanish (which is very difficult with all of the verbs and their forms). My friends are a great help to me and I don't know what I would do with out them.

Also today, I felt my second tremor of the earth. :) The first time I didn't even notice it until after it was over and everyone was like "Did you feel that??". haha And today, I saw the water on my desk wiggiling and I thought it was because I was kinda bumping my desk because my chair was moving. I thought my chair was moving because the person behind me was kicking it (because that's what kids do in the US... very rarely here.) Just as it ended, I realized it was a tremor. haha :)  This is why my title is "I'm only observant of unimportant things..." haha but no worries. From what I gather it is rather normal here. Kinda like tornado drills in Kansas. :)

Well that's all for now. Tomorrow I'm attempting to take yet another test. In language (aka all spanish). :) So I have to study.

Ta ta for now.

O and on my other tests I've been hitting the average (not good by their standards here but amazing for someone who doesn't totally know spanish) a 4 out of 7. Approximately, a C- in the US
