Me voy a Curico manana!

Hey Hey!

I found out my family information finally!! Woot! So it turns out I will be with a dad named Augusto (like the month :)) and a mother named Maria! I also have a 16 year old sister so I'm so excited to meet everyone! I leave tomorrow at 730am and get to my house around 1030 I think so its really coming up! I feel like I've been waiting to meet them for so long that its crazy that it is finally here, I almost don't believe it :)

It turns out I'm teaching high school so I'm a little nervous about that because I was expecting little kids lol. This will be quite a different experience I'm sure but I'm thinking that maybe these kids will know a little more English since they are a little older! My school I guess is a semi-private school. All I've found out is that there are nuns that work there, and that it has wireless internet! i really hope the internet is really usable because that would make me life so much easier! I was also told that this school has a little bit more money than the others so there might be more resources available so that is really nice!

Today was a very productive day. We finished up classes by presenting a lesson plan. I presented with my friend Stephanie and I think it went pretty well considering neither of us have done anything like this before :) Later that day I did some shopping and got things like a warmer coat, a hair dryer that fits the plugs here, a watch because now I don't have a phone that I'm using to tell time, a small despertador (alarm clock) and a few other fun things I picked up at a local artisan market.

Stephanie and I did a little exploring today which was really fun! We figured out how to use the subway system and got ourselves to a place where you can ride a train like thing up a mountain to a statue of the virgin Mary. From there you can take a cable car further around the city. It was soooooooooooo scary but I'm so excited I did it! Even though I was so scared because heights and I are not best of friends it was still so worth it because the views were amazing and I think I was able to get some descent pictures :) I'm trying to post some right now so hopefully you guys can see them soon!

I think I'm going to try and go to sleep soon since I have to get up muy temprano! I'll write you as soon as I find out all about my family, I can't wait for tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!
