We Make Plans and Then THEY Break Them!

So today we were supposed to be packing up the car and heading to lago Rapel with a group of friends. There was going to be 8 of us going so I was excited and looking forward to a good way to make a few days go by faster. But of course, you can't count on a Chilean to keep their word, making plans is like some kind of game. They think that everyone else is just dreaming and that these things really aren't going to happen. Well, I thought for sure we would be going. We had everything planned out, a house reserved, food to bring divided into who brings what, and plans on when we are leaving. Everything. Well, problems started on Wednesday when subject T decided that she wanted to go too. So we rearranged everything only to find out Thursday that subject T didn't have money so she couldn't go. GRRR Why ask if you can go with if you don't have money in the first place!?!??! Ok, so fine we were back to just the 8 originally planning on going. When subject C told us that she can't stay until Sunday. Ok, fine, she will take a bus Saturday evening back to Stgo. Then she starts making excuses of why this bus and that bus won't work and finally decides that she will not be going. GRRRR It was her frickin idea in the first place!!! In the mean time Ro was trying to get the cell phone number of subject K because she doesn't get on messenger very often. She had a cow because he was asking for her cell number because she clearly was NOT going with us even after she confirmed that she was going 3 times. So we were down to 6 of us going. Which made the trip a bit more expensive for everyone, but it was still do-able. Well then subject A decides that he is not going because subject C is not going. He apparently was planning of flirting and trying to get something more from the weekend...fucking horny Chileans! So we are down to 5...not do-able. So A calls C and tries to convince her to go, finally she gives in, so we are back to 7....for about 5 minutes until subject C decides that she really doesn't want to go. Of course horny subject A also backs out again.
So in the end, we are not going. :( But I think we are having an asado tomorrow and going bowling! Which will be fun, not as fun as getting out of the smoggy Stgo air for a weekend, but in the end cheaper. Sigh....11 more days until I am in the US where people makes plans and actually keep them!!
