anniversary

So it´s march!!! and almost my chilean anniversary! Ive been in this amazing country seven months tomorrow!

School starts up again on wednesday. Im sort of excited because i can´t wait to see some people but I also did enjoy my summer here (who doesnt like summer, right?). Ive been getting ready for schoool, buying school pencils, notebooks, uniforms, and trying to focus extra hard on my spanish. this semester will matter for me academically. I think i need to come home with a sheet filled with my grade reports and for credit, i need to pass my classes. but, i understand everything now, except weird vocabulary, and i think this semester will be a lot easier.

Tomorrow my older host siblings go to college in Santiago. Ill miss them a lot! The summer has been great with my family..

That´s really all that has been going on. It about 80 degrees here, unlike in MN (hahahah), but some days the temperature can climb up to 90 or higher.

I have to go eat lunch but i wanted to update.

Lura,

Greetings! It has been so long since I've visited your blog. From beaches, to building homes, to making jam, to Christmas, now summer in Chile passing! Wonderful to catch up on your journey. Looking forward to hearing about school (Fall in Chile!!!).
It snowed again last night! Goodness! Soon Spring!
Love you,
Dad

Oh Lura I like never visit your blog and I feel really bad. But I guess you and your 80 degree weather are having a good time. Here it got above freezing today and I wore shorts. Yeah! I miss you so much and it sucks you have to go back to school! I feel your pain.
But rambling time is over. Basically, Chile looks beautiful, you look beautiful and I'm so glad you're having fun! Please make yourself come home in 3 months so I can get my much needed Lura time!
