It's Been Awhile

I’m sitting here in Starbucks drinking one expensive yummy tasting coffee.  I came here for the internet connection (my internet connection can get ‘moody’) and the coffee of course.  I hate to admit it but Starbucks makes on kick ass coffee.  First of all you must understand where I’m coming from.  I drink copious amounts of instant (I know, it’s terrible) all week.  But when one is desperate….one will drink what will get them through the day.  I get up at 6:20 AM people!!!!  It’s gross, I know and I can’t seem to get used to it.  I cry every time I have to get out of bed (well no not really but for dramatic effect ;) I often wonder who in the world is responsible making this a time to start work everyday!?  Obviously someone that has kids >:(

Anyways, life in Chile…that’s really what I should be posting…not whining about stuff.  Well, things are good.  I need to get out more and I believe once winter is over I will start gracing people with my presence.  I just got to get over my nervous factor.

I’m usually always cold as my Apt. doesn’t have central heating.  I’ve only been sick once this winter (and as I write this I’m sure viruses are ready to strike at will for my stupidness of making such a bold statement).  I’ve borrowed a Spanish grammar book from the institute I work for to speed up my process.  I.must.perfect.my.spanish.

Spanish is a very interesting language.  Well first of all it’s actually called Castallano.  OH~Check out some of the vocabulary I’ve learnt!!!

For example,

Mataperro ~ translation: bumper of a car.  The EXACT translation….. KILLS DOGS!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Parachoque ~ translation: hood of a car.  The EXACT translation……FOR CRASHING!!!

Note: spelling maybe incorrect as I’m still learning.  My reading has gotten better as this is a phonetic language.

Well that’s all for now.  I have a birthday party to go to tonight (I have way too many cousins…).
