When my family left to go to Argentina, they dropped me off at Paula's house to help out with a completada she was hosting for the schools Anniversary. If you guys remember from many months ago, the schools anniversary is like home coming and it's super fun and I'm lucky I get to participate in another one! We held a completada at Paula's house, which is pretty much a hot dog sale except with Chilean hot dogs (bigger and better and served with avocado and tomato) to raise money for expenses of the schools aniversario. It was fun hanging out with my classmates and working and talking to everyone! After the completada, Paula and the friends and I all got cleaned up to go to our friend Pedro's birthday party. We walked together in a large group (because we are safe like that) to Pedro's house and I have to say that when I arrived I was completely blown away. His house looked like a full on disco (night club? I don't know what the US word is.. hahaha). There were lights everywhere and loud dancing music and soooo many people in his house! It was honestly one of the most fun parties I have ever been to! I danced with all my new friends and spent at least 90% of the night laughing! It felt so good to be there with them and having such a good time. Earlier this week I was having some doubts about my new school and feeling a little lonely while missing my friends from Coya, but this night really helped me with that. Going out with friends outside of school and just dancing the night away is a really good way to feel closer to people I guess!
The next morning Paula and I slept in super late but were awoken with her big sister tapping lightly on the door and bringing us breakfast pie and tea in bed. It was such a sweet way to wake up and I felt so taken care of and happy! I spent the rest of that day making empanadas with Paula's beautiful family in their lovely little home. They made me laugh and feel very comfortable and I am just so glad I have a friend like Paula who would invite me in to meet her family!
That night Paula's family dropped me off at Katie Ward's house to spend the rest of the weekend with my hilarious Arizonian friend. We hung out with her friend Jose who is super Copland then went bed really early (at like 11 which is super early in Chile hahahah)
In the morning we went to a rodeo with Katie's family to help sell unhealthy food to the huasos (Chilean cowboys). It was kind of boring and kind of really fun at the same time hahahha.
(We are so CHILE)
Today we woke up to the most un-eastery Easter ever. There was no chocolate of family time or anything. I mean, everyone on our instagrams got all sorts of treats but Katie's family wasn't that into celebrating I guess. We honestly did nothing all day except for eat toast and watch old movies hahaha. It was a good day, though. I had a good time doing nothing! Katie is a fun person to do nothing with.
Later my old host parents (Manuel and Lilian) came and picked me up from Katie's house to spend the night in my old host house. It was super weird getting home to my room and seeing all Alex's stuff all over it! I ate Once with my old family and it was a delicious as I had remembered it, and then I came upstairs to get ready for bed and realized I don't have my uniform for tomorrow! But my mom and I found a bunch of Fran's old clothing that kind of works and a mixture of that and Alex's uniform is what I will be wearing tomorrow I guess hahahah.
Right before writing this, my mom surprised me with a little Easter treat!
So I guess my Easter bunny found me after all! :)
