thinking things through (lunes, 25 octubre)

Today I woke up around 9am in order to shower and get my things packed into my backpack before checking out of La Ruca. The lady working there was really friendly today and let me store my backpack in the staff room so I wouldn't have to lug it around all day. Outside I was greeted by the...

salar de atacama, lagunas altiplánicas, pueblitos, y música tradicional (sabado, 23 julio)

This morning I woke up at 7:15, ate some leftover vegan pizza, and got ready for my tour with Aventura Altiplano. They picked me up at my hostel a shade before 8am, and we stopped to buy some bottled water and snacks before heading out. There were about 12 of us on the tour. We got on the...

la noche más bella que todos (viernes, 22 octubre)

One thing I´ve learned about being here is that the buses rarely show up at the time they´re supposed to. Last night I´d bought an 8am ticket to San Pedro de Atacama. I arrived at the bus station around 7:30 just to make sure I didn´t miss the bus (when I went to Bolivia a few weeks ago I missed...

early dismissal, no water, heading to calama a day early (jueves, 21 octubre)

Today classes got out early because the students had a football (soccer) game. When I got to school I found out that tomorrow´s classes are cancelled as well, so when classes ended at 11am I walked down to the bus station to buy a ticket to Calama, which is an hour or so outside of San Pedro,...

mi escuela nueva, colegio república croacia (jueves, 14 octubre)

It turns out when I got back from La Paz early Wednesday morning, the Ministry of Education decided to move me to a different school. This one is a municipal (public, lower-class) school, and there is only one english teacher. The school I was at had 20 English teachers, so they decided there...

almost legal in Chile (jueves, 7 octubre)

On Tuesday I was supposed to get my passport back, but it turns out I had to wait until yesterday, which really worried me because I´m planning on travelling to Bolivia this weekend. I got stuck waiting around the Migración building for an hour and a half, and the people working there weren´t...

english meetings and an interesting gym experience (lunes, 4 octubre)

Classes went by super well today. My students were overall really good, and time flew by. I got hit by a soccer ball (again) as I was walking through the gym area on my way to the teachers lounge for lunch. Apparently there must be a shortage of soccer balls here because I´ve seen the kids using...

sometimes the days just blur together (domingo, 3 octubre)

I have definitely made up my mind that I love Iquique. Until now I´ve been on the fence about whether or not I like it. This weekend I met a bunch of people and ended up going out Friday and Saturday night. Friday during the day was really productive. I finished writing a paper for my online...

(jueves, 30 septiembre)

School was great today with the exception of the B section of sixth grade. While they are all really nice, friendly kids, they don´t like to shut their mouths or stay in their seats for more than half a minute. It´s hard to get mad at them because they are all so nice and eager about learning...
