Some Amazing News and VBS

VBS- This morning i woke up early and put on my oversized shirt made specially for this week. I headed off to our church´s building where I, along with 10 other grown ups, ran a sort of day camp for 35 kids here. It was awesome, I was so in camp mode and I was able to really help out the other leaders. I think I might consider myself something of professional camp counselor.

Okay, now for the amazing news. Not only are some of my closest friends coming out here in 20 days to spend a week vacationing out here. BUT NOW... I can offically announce that Ashlee, one of my best friends will be moving out here for like 6 months! So I am trying not to pee in my pants from anticipation! How amazing is that??? Seriously, I cannot believe it! Ashlee and I have been buddies since freshman year. We spent a summer in New Jersey together which included a trip to New York. And later a trip to Chicago together. We decided that when we grow old, and our beloved husands have passed on, and we don´t have our own teeth anymore, we will be travelling buddies and we will travel the world together. We have been in Bible Study together since freshman year, and I am so excited to have that type of fellowship again. and she is one of the most amazing people in the world. Everyone who knows her, although she will be embarrassed for me saying this, but in verdad, everyone loves this girl. And I get to live with her here in CHile!!!

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!
