uyyy! after a long day of travelling we FINALLY made it to santiago. we were picked up at the airport by a person from the school and went to meet our families at the school. naturally...it starts to torentially downpour as we step off the bus. no biggie. my maid (yes...maid) picked me up at school and took me back to my house. my mom is super nice and theres a crazy aunt lola who lives here too. my room is nice and there are two other students here too - one from Brasil and one from Korea. i swear on my life i've walked literally a zillion miles since we got here. and its rained every day since we've been here except for today! went on an adventure to the school to find our building, to the old zone to see the cathedral, and to mass at the cathedral.
things:
1. i'm using my moms crazy spanish computer that has more buttons than normal. this post took far too long. we have internet but she hasn't given me the p-word so i can hook it up on my lappy toppy with the normal number of buttons
2. she thinks i'm anorexic because i don't eat the zillion things she puts in front of me. also, i sleep with my door locked because i'm afraid crazy aunt lola will try and feed me while i'm sleeping.
3. the madrid airport was almost the death of me
4. i got great new boots (sorry mom). but its sale time in espana.
5. i only understand about every 5 words that the crazy aunt says. but i'm really good at saying si, smiling, nodding, etc.
6. its cold EVERYWHERE. inside. outside. everywhere.
7. no one young goes out on saturday nights. so much old people PDA last night i almost lost it.
we have orientation tomorrow and tuesday. i haven't taken many pics yet but i will post some soon when i have my own computer. annnnnd...thats all for now! i miss y'all in the states like madddd! xoxo
