Another two weeks? What?

Okay, so I have decided that two weeks is a reasonable amount of time to account for in one blog post. I just don't have enough time to do it more frequently! Sorry! Anywho (word compliments of itzel), I'll start where I left off, exactly two weeks ago! Okay, so the week following my last post was a big party for my whole school. It was in celebration of the anniversary of my colegio so we had competitions, games, sports, dancing, late starts, and early endings the whole week! On Monday we didn't have school, so nice. Tuesday in the morning we had mass, but the other mass I went to was sooooo boring even more boring than mass in the U.S. because I couldn't understand anything they were saying. So, I didn't go in the morning and just slept. When I got there late we had the presentation of alliances which was sooooo fun! I was a flapper in my Charleston gettup with my husband Al Capone (the guy in the photo above). Super duper fun! After, I went home and showered because my hair was in a tight bun for the presentation and afterwards was a mess. I ate onces, then went to the fogon (sp.?) which was a party at the school that went pretty late and was pretty cold but really cool. There was a lot of music and games and dancing. Wednesday we went to a camping site (like a recreational activity place) and did sports for points and such... I myself participated in a bike race, volleyball and the water war. The bike thing though went really bad for my team because it was me and my Al Capone but I still wasn't adjusted to the high elevation and had a really big problem with my lungs. I couldn't finish. My teammate did, but got really, really sick afterwards. Poor guy has a heart sickness and went to the hospital. I was so worried because he is one of my best guy friends here because he is super sweet and funny. Anyways, afterwards we relaxed a bit and drank lots of water. There was a jump rope competition. We then went to play volleyball. Here, I am actually pretty good haha. My team won against the seniors! wooo! We went back to eat lunch and after lunch was the water war. One of the best times here so far! I loved it! I think that night was the fonomimica where I was the town gossip with rollers in my hair and a robe with slippers and high socks. That was interesting. Thursday I slept in too because I was super exhausted. When I arrived they were all playing games for competitions. One game was there was a line of people from certain grades and they at the beginning one person put on a hat and ate what was in front of them. When they finished, the judge checked to make sure they ate it all and the hat was passed to the next person so on and so forth. We were losing when I got there but we won in the end! In the night we did the choreography. Everybody did so well but Tercero Medio (my team, woot woot!) did the best! ours was sooooo funny and well organized. Friday we had a choice of whether to clean the classroom or go to a church and sell things to raise money. I went to the Civic Operation at the church and it was a blast. At first I was a little confused because people kept asking me questions in Spanish and I was just like " Paine, cuanto cuesta?" and then he would answer bless his heart. But, in the end, I turned to hats which al had a fixed cost and I could model them. Hahaha, "modela americana a la alianza naranja" super funny. That night was the fancy party thing. Kind of like Homecoming. I borrowed my sister's dress and so it fit me fine up top because it was stretchy but otherwise it was a little short! Everyone said not to worry though because I looked really cute and great. So I was lke oki doki! hahah. That was a lot of fun and I actually danced! Regeton was fun and I got a hold of it pretty quick. There they announced the winning alliance whose prize was a week with street wear. WE WONNNN!!! The dance itself ended at 2 am but I wasn't very tired. It wasn't until I got in the car that the sleepiness hit me. In this little 5 seater car was 9 people. I had a really skinny senior kid on my lap and I slept on his back. We went to Maca's house but I slept in her bed while they did whatever. After that, we went to go get food (completos = hot dogs with avocado, tomato, the works) but I was so tired I didn't eat. ooph. We finally got back home at 5:30 in the morning. Dear Lord. I slept till one, bathed, and spent the day in bed resting and drawing and watching movies on a computer. The next day we had an asado as celebration for winning the Aniversario. Yummmm! That was super fun. Last week we had classes like normal but in jeans and t shirts and other regular clothes not uniforms.Woo hoo! Friday after school (we don't have classes in the afternoon) all the girls in my class and I went to the mall to eat lunch and walk around. School let out at one and we all finished eating at around 3. I went home at around 5:30 after buying some much needed chapstick. I cleaned my room and lied down until around 6:30 my liaison came over for a check up and onces. I was so tired from walking around the mall though and went to bed at like 9:30-10. Yesterday I woke up at 11:30 (how nice, 13 hours of uninterrupted sleep) I was still feeling lazy though so I watched The Incredibles in English with Spanish subtitles. I just had a sudden urge to hear Frozone say "honey, WHERE is my super suit?" bahaha I love that movie. After, I painted my toe nails blue and my fingers clear. That night Javi had her friends over (Maca, Gabo, Nico) and we just talked, ate pizza and listened to music. That was good fun. It's pretty warm here during the day and so I like to wear shorts but everyone thinks I'm insane. But really I'm not cold. haha. Today, my mom, Javi, Maca and I went to the center to buy Cueca costumes. I used Chilean public transportation for the first time! Incredible! It's actually not that bad... We got back, ate lunch and now here I am. Yep! Well that's about all folks! until the next two weeks, I bid you CHAO!
