So I know it has been forever since I posted...like over a month, but I kinda have been slacking at remembering to keep this updated. Well lets see....I went to prom, well two actually. It was pretty awesome, nothing like a prom in the USA. I also finished school so now I am on summer break until March. December was a pretty hard month for me with the holidays and all. Christmas was nothing like the USA! In the USA Christmas starts the day after Thanksgiving and lasts until after New Years. But here it is like nothing. Christmas Eve with the family and opening presents is about it. Nothing on Christmas Day. No Christmas music playing all day in the house or nights of watching Christmas movies with the family. It was pretty hard to get through. I pretty much feel like I just skipped Christmas altogether this year, especially since my Christmas package from home NEVER arrived and I am still waiting for that. I had a pretty blue Christmas in the end. New Years was a little better. I didn't get to go to one of the amazing parties which is suppose to be the highlight of the new year here but I had a good time with my family. Oh yeah...unfortunately I had to switch families. That has been really tough. I loved my first family and they will always be my Chilean Family no matter what. Only good thing about me changing families is that my first family let me have a carrete (house party) with my friends as like a going away present. They left for the night and me and my friends got the house =) Pretty awesome time. Well right now I am just enjoying summer. Going to the beach and hanging out with friends. 4 months to go...
