Friends, Food, and Chocolate Fights

This last week went by really slow and really fast at the same time. It is very very cold in Chile now, and I am almost always shivering no matter what I am wearing. I don't remember it being do cold when I got here, but I guess I just didn't pay attention to it that much. I had a lot of distractions, maybe. Now I am absolutely freezing alllll the time and it's almost annoying hahaha. I want to slap cold in the face and just be like "no I have had enough of you just stop."

This week I went to crossfit for the last time in Chile. I had a good workout, and I was surprised that the crossfitians were actually bummed about seeing me go. The owners of the gym hugged me goodbye and sayed they were glad they met me and that I am good at crossfit and that they wish me well in life. It was cool for me that I had made connections even just by joining a gym!

On Friday I invited Paula, Fran, and Helena over to my house to make Oreo bonbons. I had never before invited a Chilean over to my new house because all my new friends live so far away! I was kind of nervous about being a good host, but we ended up having a great time. Actually, Paula and Momse began a chocolate fight in the kitchen because they said I need to loosen up when I cook. It's true, I get a little stressy when I try to cook with other people (or mostly just Monse because she doesn't do the whole "listening to people" thing very well hahaha). I might have gotten mad at them, but I love them all so much and chocolate tastes good so what's wrong with having it stuck in your eyebrows, right? Hahahaha. After making the dessert we called my mom and Molly so that my friends could meet my family. My family soon discovered how adorable my friends are, and my friends loved getting to know my mom and sister after hearing so much about them! I live for these little connections. 

After skyping them we skyped Hugh and that was even funnier! It was interesting watching them try to communicate and I wish they could all just meet in person! Maybe someday!

After a huge tickle fight my friends went home and I spent the rest of the weekend with my family. During the Chile game, Juliana and I were messaging eachother a lot and we were both so nervous! When Chile lost in penalties, all of Chile was pretty bummed out, but I was happy they had played so well. I was honestly impressed by how everything played out, and I'd say that if Chile had to loose, that was the absolute BEST way I have ever seen a team lose a football match!
