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.

I miss sopaipillas. I never eat them with mustard though. I prefer them fresh, hot, and plain.

Oh and I always forget how old I am, too. It's just not exciting anymore.

shannon, you are not too young to get a cellphone plan...you can go to ENTEL with your Salaries and wages payment..(liquidaciones de sueldo) at least the last 3... and if your salary is over 100.000 per month you can get easily a plan.

I pay monthly 12.000 pesos.. that is 9.990 for the plan i have (cuenta controlada $9.990) plus the phone i have samsung 5230 touch (3.000 per month)

i know the cuenta controlada it doesnt have lots of minutes..but its better because you dont pay more, if you spend the money,you can buy a phone card and have money again ..

i dont know the other brands..like CLARO OR MOVISTAR...but with ENTEL..you can have a plan.. mis sister is 19 and she has one.. she works atthe airport sat & sundaysfor 150.000 pesos per month...so...

get a plan!


besos
