I need a job

How is it that I paid all this money for an education and I still don´t really know what I want to do. I have been searching online for jobs all afternoon and I found one that maybe would be cool. It is with a missions organization (sorry mom) and I would be stationed in Argentina to receive short term missions groups, orientate them and help lead the mission. I think it would be cool because I could be doing both the administrative leadership work and the real working with street children work, all in one job. Plus, I would get to use my English AND Spanish. Who knows though... who knows.

Don't forget you will need to actually make enough money to live on at some point! We love you very much, but at some point you need to become financially self-sufficient. A real solution you might consider is getting a regular job that pays a living wage, and then volunteering your services and time to the groups you believe in. You won't always be 20-something, and having real skills that can support you (and the children you plan to have eventually) is a very good thing.

You know who!

Well, contrary to you know who, I am going to suggest you make a list of all the things you love to do, (brainstorm with yourself until you can't think of anything else), then go back over it and eliminate all those things that are not that passionate for you at the moment, then see if there is a common theme in what is left, and wrap your life around that. Don't fall into the trap of working at something just for the money. It will shrivel your soul.

a good sign

I live near a long thin park called Parque Forestal. It's really quite a nice park and it has a long stretch of a lane for riding bikes or jogging. And since I have a fear of riding bikes in this city, I jog. It's really pleasent. I usually listen to radioDisney on my mp3 player and jog along to Jonas Brothers, Beyonce, or Julieta Venegas. Great stuff. Yesterday on my jog I noticed that the trees were beginning to change. Fall has finally arrived and I am glad for the change. But as I was jogging through the falling leaves, I began to think about how much I like fall. And I had this special moment when I realized that I want to be here in Santiago, jogging through this park for many falls to come. After the past few weeks of cultural adjustment being a little more painful than normal, this was a nice thought to have.

la musica de chile

For a moment I would liek to ponder the music of Chile. You see, I listen to just about everything (except non-live jazz). Even country, although in this category I limit myself to Dixie Chicks and The Judds (only the old stuff). Here in Chile there is really only a few types of music. One, the corny romantic music that belongs on programs like "Delilah at night". Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I love this type of music. Another type of music is Reggaton (not sure about the spelling, but do I ever spell words correctly?). This is Latin America´s response to Hip Hop. Very good for dancing. I also love the fact that most Reggaton is in Spanglish, my favorite language. There is this other type of music that I like to call the "Corny Electric Piano Musica". Too corny for me and I can only take so much electric piano in one song. I am amazed at how much Englsih music is played here. And people sing to it. they actually know the words, but they have no clue what t

murderous thoughts for cats

I got home from work today, exhausted, only to face the horrible whining of the neighborhood cats outside my window. They used to be really loud, and then in the cold of the winter they disappeared. But now they seem to have returned in full force. I sure hope I can sleep tonight!
