Awkward Sally Moment in Chile #2

Today was a very fun, very silly, and very warm day. When I got to school I noticed that nobody else was wearing the tights that we all usually wear. It turns out that was because today ended up being a pretty warm day! I don't understand Celsius yet, but today I learned that 25 degrees Celsius is too warm for tights. Today many people in my class participated in a debate competition that was held at our school. Apparently are school is awesome at this and wins every year, so a lot of pressure is put on the participants. The cool thing is that the rest of the school doesn't really have to do anything for the entire day because the schedules get so mixed up. I spent half the day trying to understand the debate, and the other half eating lunch twice. 
During my last class of the day, art, my teacher gave me the option of watching the debate instead of taking the art test with the rest of my class. When I went to watch the debate, I discovered it was lunch break for the debaters and decided to eat lunch with them instead. I met so many new people and I remember none of their names! At one point during lunch, I was walking across the cafeteria when suddenly I found myself sprawled out across the floor on my hands and knees. Tons of people rushed over to help me and make sure I was okay, but soon we started laughing because I had slipped in food that was on the floor and had some how managed to fall in slow motion. I was sooo embarrassed, but surprised at how nice everyone was to me about it. One boy from one of the other schools even leaned over and told me "don't worry, you look beautiful even when you are falling." Hahahahah ohhh these Chileans. They are so perfect. 
When I went into my classroom to get my backpack, I discovered a note for me on my backpack and I have posted a picture below. It was not signed by anyone and I think it looks like a girls handwriting, but nevertheless it made my day a little more interesting. In the same picture is a drawing another boy in my class made for me. I think it's awesome!
