Coughing and Cussing

I'm still sickly, and so I've been fracken around on the computer applying for summer internships and the like...slowly realizing that its already almost October. Where has the time gone? It's days like these, when I feel gross, that I realize how much I am going to miss Chile and when I realize that I want to do something meaningful with every day that I have here (as opposed to sitting tucked up in my bed coughing my head off). I know that's not exactly possible, but it just makes me wish a little harder that Chilean classes would start up so I can really get immersed in this whole Chilean culture bit, play some soccer with the kids, learn all of the local ins and outs. The usual. But on the bright side, I can tell that my spanish has improved dramatically since I've been here because I can speak now often times without pausing to process the words that I'm saying. Although tonight at dinner Marisol did a run through of Chilean cuss words (since I apparently still have problems processing those)... but I've already forgotten them to be honest! she always says 'well it's better if you hear them from me first!' which is true. Sometimes I just picture how my mom would try to explain these things to an exchange student and it just makes me laugh. :)


speaking of my momma...In other news: Momma finally bought her ticket! Cox girls taking on South America Episode One.

I CANNOT WAIT!

That's about it for now, nothing too exciting to report. Josh is on a mission to find someone that can serve as my sit-in assistant for planning the Red and White Classic for the next couple of months- so if you know of anyone who is interested...hit me up!

Just the first pitch of many for my tournament I'm sure...
Alright, I'm off to movie night with Kaya and Cathy! Should be a good time!

Chao!
