*Suerte*

Man do I love life right now  (aka my tittle of this post Suerte = Lucky). Well, I sang with my friend at school and I havento say it was pretty awesome. I forgot to record us though. But I am going to record it when we are hanging out sometime because I want to make sure I have memories like that to take with me back to the US. My class is stilll awesome, but unfortunately I don´t have much time left with them at school. Like in the US, the seniors here finish before the other grades, only the finish like a month early. Since I have to go back to school in March with the new seniors, they are making stay at school the last month to get to know my new class in stead of letting me finish early. I just got so close to my class and now they are leaving me =( But fortunately most of them are attending college here in Temuco so I will still get to see them and hang out with them after school and on weekends. But it is still kinda sad. Well coming up on my agenda...ahem...I have: going to Valdivia with my family tomorrow, a Halloween costume party Monday (of course I am a super hero as always, this year FLASH!), graduation with my senior class here November 11, and Prom December 1st. So I am sure I will have a ton of pictures and things to talk about in the next few weeks. But right now, things are mostly just laid back and I am enjoying my time here with my friends and family =)

Me gusta!!!

Well  I am in love...with Chile! I have never been more happier in my life. The people here are amazing and I am so at ease here. I have already come out of my shell and can just be me here. My friends here are great. School is the highlight of my day just becaus I get to be with them. The weekends are still number one though! I love to go out with friends at night and hang out with my family during the day. I have had no problem finding my place here. I feel like I was meant to be here. I am so glad that everyone encouraged me to still go to Chile even when I was having my doubts. I can´t imagine being anywhere else right now! This week in English class I have to give a powerpoint presentation on myself, thankfully in English! I also am singing a song in Spanish with a classmate ¨Suerte¨ aka Lucky by Jason Mraz. I am so excited! It is my favorite song and I am actually decent at singing in Spanish! My friend who is singing with me is also very good and he is playing the guitar to the song. I will try to post a video of us singing it...wish me luck!

One Month...

I can´t believe I have been living in Chile for one month already! Time has just flown by. I have been going to school for two weeks at Colegio Santa Cruz and I love it. My classmates are so awesome and welcoming. I am already making so many new friends. High school is very different here, but in a good way. I am in class IV °B (senior), and I am fitting in very well. Of course, the classes are all in español except for English class, so I am being challenged to learn the language quickly. Last friday, I went to my first carrete, party, at my friend Cata´s house. It was awesome! I had so much fun with my friends. This weekend, I am going to Valdivia chich is another city in southern Chile. So I will probably have more pics and another post soon!
