Well, school has been absolutely awful, and even though I claim to have given up, I'm still a perfectionist and try a too hard. All I need to do is pass, all I need to do is pass. Just keep tellin' yourself that, Jen.
In case you guys didn't know, the UM Chile program is partnered up with Wisconsin, so that made last Saturday's football game super duper fun. We started our tailgate at noon sharp and stumbled over to the gringo bar (and by stumbled, I mean we took 3 metros and a micro -- not convenient at all!) to watch the game. There aren't even words for how exciting that afternoon. It was almost like being in Ann Arbor... except not at all in any way, shape, or form. But we definitely made the best out of the weekend.
Michigan vs. Wisconsin! Grrr!
Aww, jk! We're friends!
I'm offically more than halfway done with my stay here, and I think time is really going to fly from here on out. I'm going to Mendoza (that's in Argentina for you less-worldly folks :) ) this weekend, my parents will be here the weekend after that, I have a fieldtrip (to a vineyard, I think) the weekend after that, and I have my YMCA English class party the weekend after that. And then it's November! I think a couple friends and I are going to try to fit in white water rafting somewhere in the next month too.
As for random observations....I know I wrote a wee something before about people wearing shirts with stupid English phrases on them. Well, I saw another one this morning and I just wish I had the skills to tell this guy what his shirt really said. Because if you know your shirt said "GHETTO. RUDE. STAR." on it, would you really want to wear it? Who even manufactures stuff like that? I was hoping for something equally as enlightening on the back of the shirt, but alas, there was only a "manly" fairy-like creature.
I just figured out to apply for an absentee ballot from overseas, so I sent that in today. Hopefully it all works out. Now I don't want to be talking politics or anything, but I think this video is hilarious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65I0HNvTDH4. Barack is such a friggin' cutie.
Oooook, well I'm off to read an insane amount of essays.... or watch the new Heroes episode. We'll see what happens.
Besos y abrazos!

Dearest Jenni-
how i miss you. sounds like you're having loads of fun in Chile. Michigan doesn't play any of the colleges we share programs with... too bad. Glad we beat Wisconsin though. Can't WAIT to see you! (ps, pretend this was all in spanish and that i'm not lazy)
Besos!
Marcus
