I've finally gotten around to updating again
Well... a whole lot has happened since I left from the U.S.A. over two months ago. As most of you know, I'm staying in Chile for an indefinite amount of time. I'm in school in Santiago College, where I'm having the time of my life. I do have to repeat a few months of tenth grade, but I don't mind so much because I'm not really doing any work, so I just focus on having a good time and meeting new people. I really love it here. I have all of my cousins, who I'm just getting to know well, and who I missed out on all my life. They're really great. I do a ton of stuff with them, and they're really fun. I've also made quite a few friends in the three weeks that I've been going to school, and I just got back (pretty early) from a party with some people from my grade. I had a pretty good time, and this week is Independence Day break, which is like spring break in the states. Apparently the party for the 18 of September is going to be one of the best, along with New Years, of the whole year. So basically I'm pretty excited. Then, of course, I’ve got a whole week off, which should also be a blast!
Of course, I also really miss everyone. I miss Colin, just chilling out, playing guitar with him, going back into the woods to mess around, the time we snuck out with my dad’s car, or talking about ladies. I miss Mer, going to her house and talking about life, and everything, planning on getting married when we turn 30 or something, making cookies slash eating cookie dough, then going home and talking on the phone for hours. I miss Brendan, who I loved being with, who taught me how to skate even though I never really could do it very well, who with Zack we snuck out and one of us on my bike pulled another who was on rollerblades, and it was awesome, and who introduced me to Ska, and so many other things. I miss Zack, who I could always count on, who ran cross country, and who I spent so many amazing times with, playing frisbee, taking pictures, and just talking to him about girls and whatever was happening in our lives. I miss Sadaf, who I could almost always trust with things, and who was my first friend in Moorestown, and who called me noodle head in the first conversation we ever had, and who I really got to know well, and who helped me through so many hard times. I miss Char, and the shirt I gave her cause I thought it was hers (because it was a lacrosse shirt), even though it wasn’t, and talking to her about everything, and the way she was so awesomely hardworking, and how I really envied her for that. I miss Emily, who I loved making fun of, even though it was never with bad intentions, and who thought I was her “bad side,” even though I’m not bad at all, and who snuck over to my house once and fell and scratched herself up pretty bad, and who I always had a great time with. I miss Chelsea, who I could also always count on, who was an awesome dancer, and who was a lot of fun to talk to and to be with, and who I went to the shore with once and had a blast with my fro and whatnot, and who’s party with Char was amazing, and who’s fashion sense was awesome. I miss Lindsay, who one week I loved and the next I hated, but really I always liked her, and had some really deep conversations with, and who’s cynicism I really loved even though it bothered me. I miss Kelsey, who was always a blast, who could always make me smile, and when I first started hanging out with everyone she liked me, and I liked her back, but nothing ever happened, cause we were still little kids at 15, and who is a really good actress and singer and dancer and person. I miss a lot of people, even people I didn’t even talk to that much, like J.W., who was always a blast to be with, and Kate Penziner who was always fun to be around and made me laugh, even though we never knew whether the other hated the other, Kate Fischel who’s laugh I loved, and who was fun and kept chem class survivable, Matt Junclaus who was fun and good at math and who was always a good time, and all the other people who I had fun with.
Well I just felt like saying all that, so that you’d all know, and I’m having a great time here, but I can’t wait to get back in December to see you all again. I hope everyone is having an amazing time, and that school is okay, and that you don’t miss me too much!
Lots of love,
Humberto
