okay so this is the blog about my first day of school which happened to be a lot firsts that day u´ll see what i mean later on in the blog. lol. im so blonde. ok so here it is...
well my first day of school in a new town in a new state in a new country in a new a continent (lol) was really good. it started out with me waking up getting all my school supplies packed in a backpack that i borrowed from my new mom, i miss my my chemical romance messenger bag by the way, and i drank some tea (my new addiction). my new friend mimo came by and picked me up and took me to the bus stop we had to run to catch the bus by the way. (my first time riding a bus) so much for being early and all that. when we got on the bus all these little kids were on it. and i was all of man i got on the wrong bus but no i got on the right one because like after 4 blocks the little kids got off at their school and more kids our age got on. a few blocks down the road we picked up Charles who looked like he didnt sleep at all. poor him. well we then got to school and my first day of school in a new town in a new state in a new country in a new continent started.
my first set of classes (6 hours to be exact) were all tourism. the first i think 2 hours were spent just hangin around throwing a party and everyone getting to know everybody. during the party my tourism classmates gave me an adorable hat (called a chulo) its so awesome because i really wanted to buy a hat like that. wierd but totally awesome. my chulo is brown and white. i so want to go buy one of everycolor. so u know i have one to match every outfit. lol. im so gonna wear it everyday to school when i go back to the states. well down here they have the longest breaks (ten minutes) and they have an hour lunch. when i go back im so gonna have to talk to mrs. lane about this. lol. ok well anyways here they make sandwichs just with bread and avacado. it´s actually really good. and they have the best juices down here. like peach juice wow thats amazing stuff. the breakfast my first day of school was how would u say it.....um odd. thats a good word. well it was this sandwich made with some sort of meat. oh god i dint even want to touch it let alone eat so both me and Charles didnt eat it. lol. but what they call hot chocolate down here was good. back in the states it´s called......oh man i dont remember. horchata..maybe im not quite sure. but whatever it is it´s really good. lol. i was trying my hardest to drink al of it but then i was like whatever man and i tried to pass it off to Sergio, who came to tell me and Charles that because of the power outage (the third one) we couldnt have our video conference, but he wouldnt take it. darn him. lol. that day i forgot to bring my money and my new cell phone that my mom gave my to school with me so that kinda was bad. but mimo was nice and she bought me some peach juice( my number all time favorite juice now no wait thats still apple juice.lol) oh back to my tourism classes for a minute. um ok so for like 2 ours we went ove the national parks of chile. i had no idea what was going on but the teacher Gabi went between spanish and english so i got it every now again. lol. thank god mimo´s with me in all my classes because i would have no idea whats going on all the time. lol. the last 2 hours of the tourism classes were spent with Gabi testing all the kids on the national parks she was nice and didnt test me because she knew i would have failed. lol. after all six hours of tourism was lunch. but before i tell u about lunch i will tell u that during one of the breaks reñe (the guy i danced with) came up to me and told me that i danced good. and of course i got all embaressd. lol. ok back to lunch so i finally got in the lunch line after talking with Sergio for like 15 minutes( i really didnt want to eat) but when i did swuam (i think thats how u spell it) told me to get in line with her. she´s a girl in my tourism classes. but while i was waiting in line the english teacher(who i met the day before) came up and started translating things they were saying to me. i was in line with a guy name javier. who thanks to the translating of the english teacher i found out that he liked me and that he thought i was beautiful and that i had beautiful eyes. lol. i also found out that reñe and jonny liked me as well. lol. jonny got all embaressed and took off. dang he´s cute. lol. so english teacher took off needless to say. i think he got embaressed more than i did. lol. well my lunch got passed around the table to so many different people because i couldnt eat it all. it was so funny. lol. i ate some of the rice and then passed it off to everyone else. lol. during that time sue translated that javier really wanted to be my boyfriend and i was like thats nice. *but at that time i liked someone else guess who lol* also during that time i got invited to a dance that was happening that friday but ur gonna have to wait to see what happened in a different blog. lol. but of course i said that i was gonna go because i love dances. so after lunch i had 2 hours of math and of course i was so excited for that. lol yeah right. i had no idea what was going on in the math class mimo had to explain everything to me. oh and thats when i found out that we were gonna have a math quiz that friday so i was all oh great i come down here and within 3 days i have to take a test. lol. the final classes of the day were english and i was super excited for that because thats what im good at. lol. ad plus the english teacher is super nice. during the classes we went over past and present verbs which i dont know that well. the teacher made me and Charles read aloud paragraphs about different celebrations. which 1 i hate to read aloud 2 everyone thought i was reading too fast. lol i was like im reading slow. but it was okay because after i finished reading all the guys cheered for me. lol. the english told Charles and i after school that he really wanted our help in trying to teach the kids in the class english and of course i was like i´ll so do that. but we had to go catch the bus so we left. on the bus sue asked if i wanted to take a tour of the city and i was like yeah sure. so sue, mimo, valeria, charles and i all went and started to tour the city but everyone started to take off and i had to go home and take a shower because the water was going to be off for like 3 days so i was like ok so i went home took a shower and all that jazz. when we got to my house sue helped me change my phone to english and i met my new mom´s friend and her really cute daughter. and this is totally random but soiky has a really good taste in music.
well i think thats it. that was my first day of school second day in SPA. (San Pedro de Atacama)
have fun and thanks for reading my blog. love all of ya and um i have to go change more of my US money into chilean money. so love ya peace out

The whole ordeal with the flights
okay so im gonna tell u the whole ordeal about the flights and this is a long story so brace yourself. so here it goes....
when we got to the albuquerque airport sunday the 17th and u know said goodbye and all that jazz we got on the plane to Dallas well after all the security checks and all that. lol. this is so random. okay back to the story...we got on the flight which wasnt as bad as i thought it would be. i really work myself up to much about things.on the flight we (charles and I) sat next to this cute little boy and his mom. he had the curliest hair ever. he was so cute the whole time on the flight he was coloring this puppy book. that really makes me miss my coloring book. i need to go buy one. lol okay so one thing that did suck about the flight is that my left ear would not pop for anything. it was like the worst ear pain ever. but i got over it and i was good. okay so when we arrived in Dallas Sergio went to check on our flight to Santiago. when he came back he told us that the flight was postponed and that we were going to have to stay in Dallas for the night and then catch the plane the next day at 7 something in the morning. we waited around the airport before they gave us our vouchers for our dinner, snack and hotel (the westin) i laughed so hard when i found out where we were going to stay there because i mean westin is my best friends name except its spelled weston not westin. lol okay dang i get side tracked so bad. lol. so when we got on the shuttle to our hotel this crepy dude kept staring at me it was freaking me out so bad. i was like stop staring at me u creepy dude. lol but charles told me to move and well of course i did. on the shuttle sergio met one of his best friends who was on the same flight it was so crazy and random. we got to the hotel room and we had half an hour to get ready so all i did was watch the olympics. cause i didnt have my luggage with me whiched really made me mad but hey i could have got my luggage but i didnt want to hassle with the baggage claim whole thing. so i just relaxed and then charles came to get me. oh by the way weston if ur reading this i took the shampoo from the hotel u can totally have it i mean it does have ur name on it. lol. so i went down to dinner and ate a salad which was the best looking thing on the menu. lol. then me and charles left Sergio and his friend and went to charles´s room were we watched Ironman. i forgot how good that movie was. after the movie i totally went back to my room and passed out. i mean it was like 2 in the morning so i was like really tired. 3 hours later charles called me and woke me up which im totally glad for because i could have slept till noon. so i then woke up and packed everything up and headed to the airport. (oh by the way Charles got my snack voucher lost so yeah) at the airport we had to wait while the maintence crew fixed something on the plane. god i was so scared i was trying really hard not to freak out. Charles on the other hand was sleeping he pulled an all nighter and stayed up watching movies. our flight was supposed to leave at like 7 but it wound up leaving at like 9 thanks to some maulfunction on the plane. i was so bored waiting there for like 2 hours. well when we finally got on the plane me and charles were put in like the middle of the plane which was good because theres less noise. on the flight to Santiago they played the movie 21 but i was so tired that i fell asleep like 5 times during the movie so some other time im so gonna have to rent that movie. also during the flight we watched episodes of how i met ur mother, the big bang theory and the new adventures of old christine. oh and i actually ate on the plane. its amazing i know right but it was good it was pasta. so im good with pasta.i even got a pair of free headphones. so thats even better. when we got to Santiago we found out yet again that our flight was postponed until the next morning so we were going to have to spent the night in Santiago. i was looking forward to touring the city but because we got there so late all we did was head straight to the hotel. when we got to the hotel i was amazed at how nice it was. i thought that the westin in Dallas was nice the hotel in Santiago made the westin in Dallas look like a super 8. oh and there was two cute guys that worked at the hotel so that made it even better. lol. oh and this time we had our luggage with us so of course i had to change my outfit. lol. i wound up arriving to dinner late. because i had to do my nails, hair and change my outfit. always make an impression thats my new motto. lol. well i mean they only gave me an hour to get ready come on people should know by now that i need at least 2 hours to get ready. lol. so i went down to the first floor but nobody was at the restaurant down stairs so the guy that worked down there told me to go to the 17th floor because there was a bar up there. so i did and lo and behold they were there waiting for me. Sergio introduced me to another one of his friends. who was really cool because he had this really awesome accent. yeah i know im a blonde. i had this really good drink it was some strawberry thingy. lol no it was not alcoholic. i dont want to scare my mom. lol. after dinner i went back to my room took a shower and went to bed. i also charged my ipod i had to get an adapter but charles took care of that for me. thank god i went with charles down here. in the morning i got woken up by Sergio saying that they were waiting for me down stairs that the taxi was already there and omg needless to say i jumped out of bed threw everything in a bag and took off running down the hallway. i got downstairs jumped in the taxi and we took off to the airport. if i would have taken any longer. we wouldnt have been able to catch our flight. because after to checking our bags and going through security we barely got to our gate on time. on the flight from Santiago to Calama we were all spilt up and i had to sit next to people that i didnt know. but the guy that i sat next to was nice and they showed a documentry on david beckham so i was totally good. the guy that i sat next to on the plane said that he had some family in Albuquerque so that was cool. when we arrived in Calama it was already the 19th it offically toook us 3 days to get there. the airport in Calama was small. i mean we had to land outside and it was freezing. we had to go down those little steps that u see in movies. it was cool but freezing. we had to wait around the airport for like an hour before we got our rental car. but in the time we were waiting we got to see this police officer in this cool pimping uniform. it was like an army green color. i loved it. well we finally got our rental car and we took off to San Pedro.
and thats the story on how we finally came to arrive in San Pedro. yes this post was really long and detailed but believe me i cut this post down alot. now all i have to do is write a post about everyday since we got here. thats gonna take awhile. lol that and i really need to learn spanish. and get more sleep. last night i got 9 hours of sleep thats the most i´ve gotten in the whole time ive been here. lol. well ttyl for now. love and miss everyone.
