I found an internet connection!

So I finally figured out how to get internet in our hostel so woohoo! Right now I am waiting for almuerzo (lunch). We have a break from workshops for lunch and a few other breaks in between. The workshops are helpful but it is just a long time to sit still J We are supposed to find out our families today so that is very exciting. Then I can stop guessing and start knowing who they are. Last night was fun, a few of us went out on the town a little and ran into some really nice locals. That is the best way to practice Spanish for sure! Lets see, today is Wednesday so I still have all day tomorrow in Santiago and then off to Molina Maule!!!!! That is where I’m going to be for the rest of my trip.

This morning was eventful because my blow dryer totally blew up lol. It happens I suppose! I just made a loud noise and died L I guess it just isn’t compatible enough even with the converters. Oh well, I’m just getting used to air-drying looking a little less fabulous :)

So let me just say it has been quite a roller coaster of emotions this past week! I'm usually pretty good with handling things but I think its just because we are so out of the loop with all this stuff and don't know whats going on much of the time so I've just had a little bit of a hard time. Right now though I feel pretty good! I'm just going to go with the flow and accept whatever comes my way.

I'm off to eat almuerzo and then back to class! I'll let you know when I find out about my family!!
