Today I received my first Chilean paycheck (don´t worry, i took several pictures before I cashed it!). I can confidently say that I make quite the pretty penny here in Chile. My check was written for 85,000!!! I´m rich!!!
Well, actually, 85,000 chilean pesos translates roughly to 170 US dollars. But it was still very, very excited to get some cash!!!
Now i´m sitting in an internet café, checking my email, catching up on life the US (aka, checking facebook)...and then i´ll have a spanish class this afternoon...and then i´m going out tonight with my volunteers for one last hoorah before we leave for our designated locations.
Just to let you know, I will be LEAVING FOR IQUIQUE THIS SUNDAY AT 9AM. My flight leaves at 9AM...so this Sunday I will officially be in Iquique! Hopefully then my life will begin to settle down a bit...and I´ll get into a routine.
That´s life for now. I went to bed at 10:30 last night, and then got up at 7 and went running with my friend Kim (she went to CSU but she´s originally from California). People looked at us like we were crazy (Chileans don´t really work out...).
Anyhoo...that´s it for now.
Much love,
Kristen
