A Semester in Santiago de Chile: another week of school

And yet another week has gone by!
The week started out with watching the Chile – Holland soccer game at school. On Tuesday school ended at 1pm for everyone. I went to have ice cream with Cathy and a couple of other kids from school. We also walked through a little park and saw a pretty cool fountain.

The rest of the week went by pretty fast as usual here. : ) Thursday we had another practice earthquake alarm – we’ve had one every month or so. The first thing you have to do is sit under your table and when the alarm changes, then you are supposed to get up and leave the building to go to the cancha where everyone meets divided up in classes. The whole thing is pretty hilarious but the kids from my class are always really annoyed when it goes off. But I guess it makes sense – they’ve had these alarms every month for the last 13.5 years! : )
At night I went to a music thing from the school. Lea and Cathy sang and José played the guitar with his class. It was really cool!

Yesterday we watched the Chile – Brazil game at Andrés's brother’s house. The game was great but at the end we just suffered! They lost by SO little!! Everyone was pretty disappointed afterwards but after some food the world already looked a bit better. : ) At night some old friends of Paula came over and we had another barbecue. Paula taught me how to make a dessert – Crema de Maracuya. It turned out great, but it was super easy too. : )

Today the boys and I went to ‘el muro’ which is a rock climbing gym really close by. We have wanted to go for a really long time but it never worked out. We did quite some bouldering, which is the one where you don’t need harnesses. It was lots of fun! I hope we can go back next week!

Then I went to Plaza Egaña where I met Lea. We walked around, had some AWESOME cinnamon dessert things and then of course some playing one of the pianos.

Tomorrow is the start of our VERY last week of school here in Chile!! It's SOOO weird!!!
