So not too much to report. Recently we've spent our days/nights wandering the streets of Santiago just seeing what the city has to offer, and it's quite a bit! There are street performers and live music everywhere. There are always tons of people out and about, so much so that I can't wait to see how many are going to be around in the Summer. Most people here can't stand anything below 40 degrees, and I find it pretty funny to see. It's been pretty cloudy and ugly though, but they tell me Spring is just around the corner.
This weekend, and apparently this happens every weekend, Ines's whole family came over on Saturday and Sunday and just spent the whole day eating, drinking, and talking. Honestly it felt very much like our family and I'm very happy to have experienced it/excited to continue to do so. We still haven't registered for classes, even though many of them start this week, which is slightly nerve-wracking, but we're moving on Chilean time I suppose! Everything moves much slower here, and everything takes forever to get done. They always say "A la chilena", which just means "that's the Chilean way", but all I've seen it to mean is "we're gonna be late". Tomorrow we have orientation at La Catolica, so I'm very happy to see what that has to offer. We have already had orientations at our two other universities and I liked them quite a bit. I'm itching to get classes started and find a routine, because it all still feels like one big vacation. Other than that, I'm just gonna keep living this wonderful, wistful life, and you should all be very jealous.
I'll have more posts up soon! Ciao!
