On four hours of sleep and a headache I've had for over 24 hours I managed to get out of bead and navigate downtown for a while before going to class where I understood nothing of what the teacher said again.
Anyway, tonight I went to a house of a friend of the papa chileno of Haylay to watch the Chile verses Brazil game. (Wow, talk about an English sentence with Spanish grammar... what a shame). It was super fun even though there weren't many people there because no matter who is playing, Chileans get so into futbol games. Brazil is the best team in the world and we knew we didn't stand a chance, but the score was only 4 to 2 so its not like Chile was creamed. I also had my first pisco sour. Consensus = YUUMMMMM! So delicious! It tasted like a super sweet lemonade, or a spiked Mike's Hard. Era muy muy rico, buenisimo.
The son of the owner of the house (Spanish grammar in an English sentance again, oops) was really cool and I hope Hayley gets him to go to a discotheque with us sometime. His name was Mataias I think, and they called him Mati. Tonight Hayley, Cheryl, and Christina and I were talking about ditching our only class next week to fly up to Macchu Picchu or Buenos Aires totally spur of the moment. I'm prepared to invest in that... I'm only down here as a 19 year old once, you know?
The partido and the pisco sour were the only things really worth mentioning today I guess. I'm starting to feel like I live here and even not taking my camera everywhere anymore (though I should probably still do that.)
Its such a weird feeling to know where stuff is... I'm really getting to know my barrio and the surrounding city. Driving back from the guy's house we watched the game at today, I practically could've drove us home. I also have a good sense of direction. But since I'm really starting to know my way around, know how to take public transportation, know how to communicate, its starting to feel normal to wake up and live here day to day. Thats cool. And a little freaky. I guess its been almost 3 weeks, or almost a month. Is that normal? I don't care. I'm happy to be here.
