Again, I find myself here at the wee hours....

Can't sleep... again. So what should I do?? Write a blog post... if this keeps up I might actually be good at writing at least one post per week. The week has been pretty uneventful. We were short people at work all week so it got a bit hellish, but nothing I can't handle. One week til the end of the month which means payday is on its way!! Which also means that the bills will be due soon, what a win-lose situation. But, I guess if there was nothing to pay, there would be no point of working, right? Except to buy plane tickets so I could go home to visit whenever I had the chance. I sent out a few job applications this week, hoping to find something better than what I have now because I hate what I have now.
I made an apple pie last Saturday, it was pretty amazing. A bit of the crust burnt and fell off, but other than that it was perfect. I even took a picture on Ro's phone, but he probably already erased the picture so you are just going to have to imagine the most perfect apple pie you have ever seen. Something like this:
Unfortunately, I didn't have any tiny birds to crimp the crust... that must have been why some of it fell off and burnt.
Happy weekend all!!

If....

As I cut right to the chase, excuse my randomness.

  • I am 23 years old... even though I have been accidentally telling potential *insert any English institute name here* students that I am 22 only to remember 2 minutes later that I am now 23 and have been for over a month and feel too stupid to correct myself.
  • Apparently I have a mysterious accent when I speak in Spanish. Is that a compliment? Apparently my Spanish is "really good, for real!!" yeah, sure.
  • I have perfected a recipe for syrup because my husband has decided that it is okay to eat breakfast food for lunch. Finally... what was taking him so long???
  • My dad's side of the family will be awake all night tonight walking in the Morrison County Relay for Life. Maybe next year I will be there with them.
  • It really is freezing here and all I want to eat is ice cream. I have started freezing the little cups of yogurt that I used to buy for breakfast so that I can eat it at night and pretend it is ice cream. I am 23 years old and I am pretending that frozen yogurt is ice cream. 
  • Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is the most amazing movie I have ever seen in my life. I only almost cried 3 times and I am so glad that I wasted 12 bucks on a large popcorn, 2 pops and 2 poor excuse for a Hershey's bar.
  • I go on Google Earth and put in my parent's address, sometimes I pretend that I am seeing a live picture. I then drag the map down without zooming out until I can find where I am now. If the inet is being stupid or SIL is downloading the latest Justin Beiber "music" it takes more than 10 minutes.
  • The past participle of bought is not boughten, but I have told at least 5 students that it is.
  • I am addicted to Anagram Magic. I play everyday at work. I also sign on to Facebook, messenger and Twitter while I am at work.
  • Sometimes I think about leaving Chile and never coming back. Every part of it except leaving Ro seems so easy.
  • I cannot get a cellphone plan in Chile because I am too young. My little brothers have a cellphone plan, they are 18 and 20.
  • When I hear a song that I like, but don't know on a commercial I Google until I find it, but I never download them.
  • Apparently there isn't going to be anything else on this channel on TV until 7:30 in the morning. 
  • There was a "temblor" today and I thought it was just me going crazy until someone asked if I felt that.
  • I have been feeling extremely jealous of a lot of people lately and I think it is so stupid, but I can't stop the feeling. I think I feel this way because nothing is going the way I plan it to.
  • The sound of raining pouring on the roof used to be a soothing sound for me. Now it just wakes me up worried wondering if I left any clothes hanging to dry or if the roof is going to leak and my bed will get soaked again.
  • The first 21 years of my life I managed to never see a vehicle crash with a dead person laying in the highway, the last year and a half of my life, I have seen two.
  • I bought Monopoly for approx. $14 dollars and wish I would have bought the $18 version instead because mine came with boring pieces instead of the classic metal pieces. Now I can play Monopoly, but I can't be the car!!! RIP OFF!!!
  • The first time I tried a sopaipilla I was disgusted that my at the time boyfriend put mustard on his. Every time I get one now, I put mustard on it.
  • I haven't been out of the city for 3 months and 2 days.
  • The cordillera after a night of rain is the most beautiful thing that you can see in Santiago in the winter time. :o) It's raining right now!!
  • Sometimes I wish I could be in Bozeman, MT again starting the 13ish hour drive to home, MN.
  • I'm going to bake an apple pie, and turkey tomorrow, so I better go to bed... when I say tomorrow, I mean later today as it is 3 minutes to 5am.... 
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
