Okay.. so, I´ve been with my family for about four days now, and i have about one hundred stories to tell.
1. Los Andes----- so 2 days ago we went to the vacation house in the andes. The mountains are awesome, and it even snowed! we rode quads, ate asado /bbq/ sat aroud the fire and talked.. which was pretty interesting seeing that my spanish is severly limited. um.. yeah, it´s really sad , because i think my brain has turned to mush.. i can´t think of the spanish words i need to use, and even worse, i can´t think of the english words sometimes. Good thing i´m good at cheraids/sp/ or i wouldn´t be able to communicate with anyone.
2. Driving with the host brother ----- the streets here are crazy, and the drivers are even crazier, and my host brother sebastian is no exception. My second night here he took me on a ¨lets have Jazzmin meet all of my friends¨tour, and i swear, we almost hit 3 dogs , which there are tons of in the streets. Also, seat belts, don´t really exist here.. so yeah.. scarry.
3. Aliens--- every where i go.. i get looked at like I´m an alien.. but it´s kind of funny.. my first day it creeped me out.. but now i feel like i´m famous. lol..
I think i´ll write more in the morning... it´s midnight and i need to sleep.
Tomorrow, i´m going to Santiago with Sebastian and Cristhian!
xau!

that comment made me smile so much!
it was such a picker-uper because i was about to Inferno. Lolz. Tell your sister i said gracias and she made me feel special.
like i said i dont want to write anything in spanish, because if you are limited i have the grammar and vocabulary of a 2 year old, or less.
Send pictures soon! lust. silly silly. =]
Nothing much has been happening at all. Acutally i havent seen anyone for a week or so, so im just doing my thing. Mostly watching TV, which is horrible i know. I just rewatched ANTM, Eva's season, and i realized how much i love Yaya and i wish she won instead. Oh wells.
i hope you had a great time and made a lot of friends, even though youre an Alien. Pssht its all good, its probably not "alien" and more "oh esa ella es muy bonita, yo quiero ser a ella" and then the other person would respond "yo tambien, de donde es? But in better spanish =]. You might even be able to pull of a Destiny (Keokis sister, if you know who they are) anyway she went to the philippines and became miss top model there. You should be Chiles Next Top Model. Fer sure. =]
So what is the order of your family? I mean age wise. I cant seem to seperate Cristian and Sebastian and i kind of forgot the names of the girls, and the other boy(if there is one.)
Any way when something exciting comes up, you'll have pictures; i was suppose to go surfing today for the first time, but im on my pd, so i was not getting into my bathing suit. Oh wells, next time.
anyways, stay safe (as possible), and dont hit dogs...learn lots of spanish to teach me later! I love you lots, and i just fell in love with that litte girl, so cute =].
Ohhh...I definitely remember the alien feeling. I never got used to it completely. Some people would stare sooooo obviously, and point and talk (it was even weirder when I could start understanding them).
But now I look back and I feel like it was a 6-month jaunt into what it might feel like to be a celebrity. haha.
heyy jazz!
sounz like your havin tons of fun over there...
ugh, im jelous!
whats a qua? and asado?
are there any black ppl down there?
lol..well, jus like everyone else i wanna see pictures tambien!!

Hola :)
I congratulate you for typing me up a long-arse comment with that Chilean keyboard. Hahaha :D
I'm pretty sure you gave me a longer description of your host brothers than the food. Tsk tsk. ;) I have to see some pictures...maybe then I'll consider. And by the by, whatever you do, stay safe. Muahahaha.
They sleep prettyyy late. You should be good at that 'cause I remember before you left you kept telling me you went to bed at like 2/3 in the morning. American...PSH!
Anyway!
I worked like crazy this weekend. It's going pretty well I guess...nothing exciting is happening besides our buy one get one free deal (which isn't that bad of a thing). Thomas helps me on weekdays and on weekends I fly solo and he does watches. Lately we've been seeing Wendi's sister all around the place 'cause I think she works in the jewelry department. Bryan's (sp?) still gross...which is nothing new. Yesterday when Thomas & I were walking to our stations, Bryan was right behind us and it seemed like he was picking up his pace to catch up with us or something...freakkk. Omg, hahaha. Remember that b*tchy chick I was telling you about that works in the fragrance department? She's totally got something up her ass man. She gives us dirty looks and crap and she's the only one that doesn't talk to us...haha. Wizzzatch! Apparently she doesn't work for the NEX. She's a vendor like us BUT she doesn't work for MSSCO either. Enough about work.
I'm nearly done with The Inferno. Which explains my lack of a social life at the moment. The last person I saw aside from Thomas was Veronica on Thursday. Tomorrow (Monday) is schedule pick-up and Tuesday Brandie & I might go to the beach but I know for sure we're gonna shoot some hoops. So yeah, nothing exciting is going on in my life. School and cross-country starts soon. I'll have those abs by the time you get back. Hahaha. You know what that means! Bring Raenaa some food to eat when you get back!!! Oh yeah, I got my senior portrait proofs. I'll put them up on M.S. when I hook up my scanner. Did your mom e-mail you yours yet?
Alrighty, I think I bored you enough. I hope all is well. :) Continue having a great time. Love you!
Jazz! It sounds like you're having so much fun! I'm glad you're getting along well with your host family. They all sound super awesome. It must be crazy not being able to communicate fully, but you seem to be doing just fine. When you come back, you're going to be super fluent.
I'm super jealous, man. You seem to be doing so much! I'm not really doing anything, but lying around. However, school starts soon, so I shall be more active in a few days. When do you start?
And don't worry about the alien thing. Those guys are probably just like "hey ma".
Chile sounds so beautiful! The pictures you posted were awesome, and I hope to see more!
Take care love, I shall email you soon when I have more things to talk about.
i was looking at you photos!
they are so cute, i love the puppy.
haha.
i see the other caitlin, who looks nothing like me, but a little like stacy kruger.
I just saw your pics, WOW!! you look so good to meeeee. Hey can a girl get and e-mail address how do i contact you. How are you posting to your blog??? Can i get a little action one on one. kind of worried about embarrassing you with my mom talk.
That was me and i am not Anonymous.
Jazzmin your host family looks like a perfect fit you, and you look like kin..... Jazzmin did you see the snow???? Oh my gosh baby you have a wonderful time/experience/young adulthood. I am so happy for you and your future.
hey so here are some pictures from our first day of school. It was completely uneventful and we started on a wednesday. Which was lame and we had all six classes. Our school is seriously ugly and there are no hotties. To make my senior year shittier my classes are kind of boring and i dont look forward to going to them day by day. Oh and even worse my lunch is with only Trelaine and Melissa. And Trelaine is changing his schedule and so it will only be Melissa. But then again, thanks to ApChem i have B lunch all year no matter what. Therefore it will be only her half the time. I feel bad.
so my schedule is
pd-drawing&painting 1
pd2-ApLit
pd3-health occupations
pd4/5-Ap chem
pd6-Ap calc.
but here are some pictures just copy&paste the url. you need to update!
