So many posts... sorry

Tonight my dad gave me a pen with the Chilean police logo on it and said I better remember him when I go back to the states! Aahh I was super flattered. I think my mom wanted to give me something then too because she went and got this cute hair pin for me. I. Love. My. Chilean. Family.

After that little exchange, the TV started to get all messed up and I started hearing male Chilean voices. My mom told me when the Chilean police are near their house, the TV starts picking up the radio signals! How strange.

Oh one thing I want to take note of: since Chile is so long and thin, I've never seen a full map of Chile. Its always split into two or three pieces. Like in the mall today, in every store with a map, Chile was cut in half. Then, on the weather channel later, Chile was split in FOUR hahahaha. Doesn't make me love this country any less, however.

One thing I love about my dad chileno is that he has a terrible memory just like I do. Just another trait in him that reminds me of my Grandpa Bajczyk is that he always winks and smiles. Not in a creepy way, but in a caring/funny way, just like my grandpa used to do. I love love love him. He saw me working on my homework today and immediately took it away and was like, "How can I help you, its customary that parents help kids with homework you know, blah blah blah" hahaha he's so so funny!

On a final note for tonight: the telenovelas (soaps) here are SO INTENSE! Well, so are all soap operas, but the ones here have the most crazy complicated story lines, I really want to know who can come up with so many different stories. The one we watched in the afternoon and evening today involved wierd relationships with someones boyfriend actually is involved with that girls DAD becuase they're both secretly gay. Yeah the rest was so complicated I don't even remember.
