So we made pizza and laughed all day...

Sunday afternoon our Chilean sister came over for lunch and she stayed all day. We had the best day--we sat at the table and talked all day until we all made pizza together that night.

We had such a wonderful day Sunday and the church I went to that morning was beautiful. Monday we kind of just lazed around the house for most of the day. I went to ISA for a while to work on my thesis and have most of the proposal done. This morning we had to wake up super early (for us) to get to class by 8:15. It was like waking up when I was little and having to leave the house twenty minutes early to walk to school....oh that character building finally came in handy, thanks parentals! I don't get the joy of watching my brothers fight all the way there and all the way home but the streets of Valpo have enough going on that I am usually highly entertained on the long walk.

My first course today was Latin American literature and it was great. It honestly is like a course that is designed around my thesis, my professor is even currently working on her dissertation on Pablo Neruda's poetry about Easter Island. We are also taking a class field trip to Isla Negra, his other house, could it get any better? After that class I went and took a nap at ISA, it was great--it was being like a freshman in college all over again, I obviously time traveled a lot today ;-). My last two classes were all in Spanish..the first was great and the second was okay. I had a headache when I finished but hopefully I will pick up more and more each day.

When I got home Mama had fresh juice made...she always has the best juice! I then took a shower and we had dinner. Tonight we had avocados stuffed with tuna, salad, and soup---it was SO DELICIOUS...then of course ice cream. Tomorrow and Thursday I have two more Spanish classes then it is time for the weekend! I hope to go to La Campana this weekend, it is a Chilean National Park only about an hour away from here.
