wow, havent posted anything for a while.....

wow, I've been in school, and doing things on the weekends, and so I've absolutely forgotten to post anything on the blog >>.<< School gets out for summer break next friday, until march (summer break. I've also recently started rugby, with 2 practices a week; although the ball looks a little like the one for football, the games are completely different. I dont have anything special planned this summer, but I've started looking into a few trips I can make relatively cheaply to cities where there are other exchange students, or extended host family that would have me over for a little while. I'm going to a Rotary orientation in 9 days (December 13th) in Villa Alemana (a 45 minute plane ride to Santiago, followed by about an hour in car) where i will take a Spanish proficiency test, and the people who fail the test will be sent back to their host countries. I'm not too worried about the test, a friend i got in touch with back in Febuary when I was picked for Chile by Rotary sent me an example of how the test is going to be, and i scored 100%. You're probably wondering why I havent gotten any pictures up lately, and I was really surprised looking at the last thing I posted that I didnt put anything up when my camera got stolen while I was out on a walk a few blocks from my house, but nothing happened to me so its no cause to worry really. I'll steal a few pictures off of some friend's facebooks and go ahead and stick em up on here. Leave me some comments, I'd be happy to answer any questions about well, whatever you'd wanna ask :P

¡TEXTO!

wow, I just realized ive been putting up pictures, but not words, so here goes.
Im doing great.. y have been pretty busy at school here lately, Ive finished my 1st full novel in spanish, and took a test on it. that excited me alot. Ive found out im not able to go to the south in the summer with rotary, but ive got alot of things to do here in La Serena all summer hahaah Im having bilingual dreams, and now thinking exclusivley in spanish, but not dreaming completely in it yet. My grades have been good, but my worst class is language, we cover literary epochs, which ive never had in a class before, sometimes i go to other courses and help the english teacher with her harder classes, which is fun, but a pain at the same time haha XD well, im not too sure what all to write about... haha leave a comment if you have any questions, and ill probably think of more to write...
