es en tí la ilusión de cada día (martes, 31 agosto)

Yesterday was alright. I read on the bus on the way into Santiago, where we played at the same church / school as on Sunday. I rehearsed with my students outside in the vine-covered walkway between the church and the school, and they´re getting a lot better. They are actually singing ´Battle...

hiking, viña del mar, el mall, y música (domingo, 29 agosto)

Yesterday I got up at 8am, took a hot shower, and met up with everybody at the comedor (dining hall) for tea and bread. Cristián filled us in on the day´s schedule and then we had free time. I took some of the students hiking in the woods. We hiked down to the river and walked through the...

paisajes de la panamericana (viernes, 27 agosto)

The 28 hour long bus ride was actually pretty fun and the time seemed to pass quickly. Last night we departed from Colegio Inglés at 6:30. The masses of hugging parents and excited choir and jazz band kids reminded me of when I was a high school kid about to embark on the band tours. Since no...

runner´s high, earthquakes, powerful dreams, and jazz band concerts (miercoles, 25 agosto)

Monday after school got out I went running along the beaches again. I hadn´t run on Sunday so I had been dying to get out for a nice, long run. I was barely down the street when I found my pace and settled into that peace of mind I love when I run. As I reached Playa Brava, the sun had turned a...

art, freedom, live music, and floating in the endless sky (domingo, 22 agosto)

Yesterday I slept in until noon and woke up to warm, golden rays of Iquique sun. I took the micro downtown where I bought some really nice but simple lapis lazuli and Chilean silver earrings for my mom and sister. Lapis lazuli is found in Chile and is its national crystal / stone, and the silver...

loving life today (viernes, 20 agosto)

So the blood test at the medical clinic wasn´t that bad and took no more than five minutes. For the life of me I could not fall back asleep when I got back home, so I sat in front of the computer for a while studying Spanish and then read some more of my book. Around noon I gave up on the idea...

doctores, ferias artesanales, y comida hindú (jueves, 19 agosto)

Today I went to the doctor because my stomach was really hurting last night and I almost threw up again. I told my host mom I wasn´t feeling well and asked if she knew of a doctor I could go to. She said to wait and see what happens, and maybe next week I could go. I told her that it´s been...

needing some kind of balance at school (miercoles, 18 agosto)

I´m trying to decide which section of my seventh grade classes I dislike more. I really like the first two sections of seventh because they work hard, are polite, and pay attention. The third and fourth sections are brats. And it doesn´t help that my host teacher makes me work with 20 students...

despite being sick, it´s been a pretty productive day (lunes, 16 agosto)

This morning when Artemio came to wake me up I was dead tired and felt like I´d just closed my eyes. The night before I´d been throwing up again due to bad vegetables (from now on if I eat any vegetables or fruit they have to be cooked, not raw, because most raw vegetables and fruits here...

thermal baths, desert skies, giants, and ghost towns (domingo, 15 agosto)

This weekend we took a road trip to Pica and La Tirana, which are in the middle of the Atacama desert. It was hot...ugh. Yesterday I went on a short run along the beach, showered, and then we piled into my host cousin´s car. We drove up into the desert, passed through some small towns (Alto...
