School has actually been going really well! I was surprised! i have about a B/ B+ average...
im so proud of myself considering all my books and tests are in spanish! I got the 3d highest grad eon my French Revolution test and an A on a book test... wooohooo
Im just very buisy every night so I have had no time to update. Plus i was waiting for a picture., Above is a picture of my and my friend Fernanda in our school uniforms! that´s how they look! but in a few weeks we have to come to school with blouses and ties...not fun! It´s fall here... summer ended and we feel it... Soon itll be winter... im going to be so cold! I took my friends ice skating, (pic below) ... most of them have never gone... there was a little rink in the mall a few weeks ago.
Tomorrow is my 8th month chilean anniversary! That´s a long time huh??????
Because of the hour changes.... the US time is only an hour earlier than mine in Chile!
It´s been weird being an exchnage student and watching the American economy... the dollar... falling and falling,,, its been interesting... while Ive been worrying about how much money to take out of the bank because of the exchange rate, chileans are rushing to the beach because of the cheaper American dollar. The rates here are written by American dollars... so to go to argentina, a chilean has to change their peso to american dollars and the in argentina change it to argentinean pesos and vice versa... our economy really affects the world. At least they are able to enjoy our bad economic situation. When i got here the dollar was worth about 512 chilean pesos and now its abou 450... big change... i get about 15 cents less out of every dollar.
Love ya all!!!!!!!! three months left!
