Colegio

I havent updated in a while because i dont have any pictures-- I really want to get a apiffy one up of me in my uniform :)

Ive been in school for a few weeeks now. It is actually fun. I am learning and always have homework, trying to remember my study tactics. Its been about 10 months since i´ve had to take school really seriously. But it´s going pretty well. I dont have to lowest grades in my class, nor the higheest (as expected) but i´m pretty proud of my academic status.

So life i busy here. I get off school at 5 everyday, excet wednesday (at one) so that doesnt leave much time for after school activities. My class is raising money for a school field trip to Chillán for a week in october. Everyday I hear howmuch they want me to go. They even have me on the fund raising list. "We´ll raise the money for your plane too!!!!" but sadly, i dont think itll happen. Im coming around to my last weeks here. I have about 3 months left but time FLIES when you´re having fun right?

this week has been harder than most. My grandfather died yesterday(US mother´s father): its really hard being so far away and feeling so disconnected. I really wish I could be in Washington with everyone right now. When i got to school in the morning we got news that a chilean friend of mine is partially paralyzed. It´s not clear what happened. I went to see her in the afternoon. The doctors say she ha a good recovery outlook. But my chilean family has been really supportive and I´ll get through it.

Thanks for the support.

Much love
