So a little more time has passed, and a few more things have changed. I´ve gotten into a rhythm here and the culture shock is getting better. Even the staring dosn´t bother me anymore. But I still can´t help counting down the days until I leave. It´s not like I´m unhappy here or anything, It´s just really obvious that this place isn´t home.
But, on a slightly brighter note a list of things I´ve done in chile that I thought I would never do in my life:
1. Eat Churky- So it´s basically dried and salted meat shreaded and served with fresh herbs and a chili past. Sounds good right... well Cristhian decided to tell me after I had eaten 2 servings that the meat was dried beef(pretty normal) and horse. HORSE! It didn´t help that the place where we were eating was a farm and right there two my left were three horses. Pobre caballos.
2. Chicha- Half processed wine... pretty nasty and it looks like vomit. But everyone drinks it here on special occasions.
3. Making snow angles in the Andes
4. Have 5 siblings
6. Staying out on a school night until 3am, and it be perfectly normal
7. Graduate high school twice
I´m sure there´s a million more, but one thing about a family of 7 is theres not a lot of time for me to just sit and think. Anyway, it´s lists like this that make me happy that I came.
The tellings of my life as an exchange student in Chile. From getting accepted (hopefully.. or this would be pointless) to my last day in the country... get it here, get it fresh.

Horse jerky… please, oh please saves me some. : ) I will wash it down w/plain water if that’s ok. Will you be submitting your very own episode of bizarre eats (travel channel) there will be plenty of time to gather your thoughts when you return home, perhaps I will send you vitamins and a BIG hug to build up your stamina. Indeed we all await your return and count the days, at times for me, the hours. I am over the top proud of you. I love you, my pride and joy.
