Last I left off it was Thanksgiving. It was a very long day. We had class all day from 9am until 2pm. After class I went to 30 Express (a restaurant) to get empanadas with Lindsey, Lucas, Catie and Christina. I got one with cheese and meat and one with cheese and corn. We waited quite awhile but they were delicious as always. After we ate we went to the grocery store to buy our food to make Thanksgiving dinner. Christina and I were helping with salad. We bought what we needed and walked to Profe´s house to get started making [View Full Entry]

Back to school South America » Chile » Biobío » Concepción
The Peru trip had me pretty worn out. Friday I went to bed at midnight... and slept until noon on Saturday. I got up but pretty much stayed in my pajamas the whole day. I ate lunch with my family, did homework and went for a run. I did homework and worked on my photobook the rest of the night. Sunday was pretty much the same story. I slept until ten and didn´t do anything too exciting. After lunch, Christina came over to use our internet and do homework. She stayed until around 8pm. I spent the rest of the night [View Full Entry]

Chile Monopoly

My plan for the last day was to go to the zoo with Hayley, Lindsay and Jess A. I got up, showered and went to eat breakfast. We were running a little behind schedule from when we wanted to leave but that was alright. We were supposed to check out of our rooms before noon so we packed up our things and took them to Profe Triana´s room. I went up to the breakfast area to get her key from her to put them in her room. I told her we were going to the zoo and she asked if she [View Full Entry]

Lota South America » Chile » Biobío » Lota
Terribly behind on this blog, with no real excuse. Due to a nationwide teachers' strike over a historical debt, my school hasn't held classes since last Thursday. It seems like a tricky situation and one on which I won't comment except to say that I certainly hope it gets resolved. A few weekends ago I took a day trip to get in touch with my Coffey heritage. I didn't quite make it to Ireland, but I did get to go into an old coal mine in Lota, a town along the coast a bit north of Lebu. Lota has a reputation [View Full Entry]

Tues, Oct 20 We got up pretty early, so we had breakfast and jetted to the bus station. I brought my 1 and 1/2 liter of water, figuring that it would be enough. We had about an hour till the bus came, so in the meantime we tried hitch-hiking. It didn't really work, but oh well! Half hour bus ride - we get to Toconao, and it is just deserted. Only a few people were outside, but it was just like a ghost town with nothing open. We went to where there were walls and irrigation canals built by the Incans. [View Full Entry]

Week 8 South America » Chile » Biobío » Concepción
Tues, Oct 6 Today I had class from 10-12. It seems to me that every class I have been to is interesting, because I learn something every day since it's in a different language. That is one of the reasons I was always inspired to learn spanish - because it challenged me. Afterwards, I went to get my Chillean ID, and then returned home for lunch. After lunch, I talked to my brother on skype for 2 hours. That was nice. He mocked me a little bit when he made some ramen noodles; I never thought i'd miss ramen, haha :P. [View Full Entry]

Playa Cobquecura

The packers lost on Monday night. Sad but atleast in South America, I don´t have to hear about it all day! Tuesday I had class from 10 to 12. Class was nothing out of the ordinary. I still couldn´t print my essay since the building was still taken and I couldn´t get our printer at the house to work. Before class, I went to the library and tried to print but I had to go to the fourth floor and couldn´t because I don´t have a library card. I was planning on running after class but that didn´t happen. I got [View Full Entry]

Week 7 South America » Chile » Biobío
Tues, Sept 29 I went to class from 10-12. We talked about what we believed was our best experience thus this far. It was interesting what everyone had to say. A lot of people said that either Santiago (11 people went) or Buenos Aires (4 people went) was their best experience. I told the class that hanging out with my brother and his friends on the 18th was my favorite, although Santiago was a close second for sure. I returned home for almuerzo (which was spaghetti), and then I went with my host dad to run some errands. I went because [View Full Entry]

Mass of people at the U
People waiting around for a protest

After the Buenos Aires trip there was lots of things to do and catch up on. Tuesday we had class with Professor Triana from 10 to 12. I got a ride to the University with Marcela. We arrived around 9 am. I needed to finish up my autobiography essay and print it so I had my computer with me. The students were still protesting and had taken the Arts and Humanities building so none of us could print our papers. We spent the class hour talking about our weekends and many other things. We got an assignment from our book. After [View Full Entry]

Friday I slept in since we don´t have class on Friday. I ate lunch with Jorge around 1. We had this casserole type thing. It was kind of like what is in empanadas but more in a pie form. Jorge put sugar on his which I thought was a little weird but I tried it and it wasn´t bad. After lunch I had to go meet Lizzy at the University so I could get my purse. Lizzy, Sonni, and Sam were going to the beach but I was meeting Christina to go explore Parque Ecuador. Christina wasn´t going to be there [View Full Entry]
