One more day until classes!

So, classes start tomorrow and I have to register for classes yet. It should not be a problem since the first week is pretty trial and error. I am excited to see what kind of classes I end up with. Hopefully I do not make a fool of myself the first day.

The picture is of Valdivia, Chile from the bridge.

Yesterday was a lot of fun. It rained a little in the morning, but later in the day, after almuerzo, I went with Cristina to check on her friend's house. We had to feed dos perros y un gato. The dogs are boxers and they jumped all over us. After we were done feeding los animales we went into town. Cristina needed to get a winter coat, so we looked all around the stores. I ended up running into Andie and Teresa, two girls from Central Michigan University, and Andie's host sister. We laughed about running into each other and then parted ways.

Cristina found a coat and got a call from a friend to meet up for té y kuchen (it is a dessert, like a cake/pie). I met her friend Cristy, who happens to be from England, and we talked and ate for a while. She teaches English at the University Austral.

Once we were done with our snack, we walked back to Cristy's house to see where she lived. Cristina and I got a ride from Mati, Cristina's pololo (boyfriend) and arrived home for dinner. Which reminds me, in Chile poloear is the verb they use to say "to go steady with someone" and pololo/a is boyfriend or girlfriend.

After dinner I went to Unico, a supermercado. We left around 8:30 or so and I think the store closes at 10, so we did the fastest shopping that I have ever done in my life! It was so funny. There were people everywhere because a sale was going on, and the store was closing in an hour...it was great.

Today I tried to go to the pool with Cristy (from England), but it is closed for the month of March. ¡Qué lastima! We are going to be eating almuerzo soon, so I should say Chao Chao.

Chao,
Sarah
