7:40 PM
First day of my internship, and I’m exhausted. Not a good sign, as my day went like this:
9 AM: wake up
10:30 AM: leave house
11:30 AM: get to where I’m supposed to meet one of my supervisors, 45 minutes early. Go shopping while I wait. Buy boots.
12:20 PM: meet my supervisor, and walk to the Fundación office
1 PM: yummy lunch for everyone in the office, thanks to it being a special birthday celebration day
~2 PM: eat cake
~3 PM: play a group game
5:30 PM: head home
Doesn’t sound that tiring… but it was! And starting tomorrow, I actually have to work… and get there in the morning… I don’t think I’m cut out for the real world :P
Also, not liking the whole being-winter thing. Hardly anywhere has indoor heating so it kinda sucks. My house actually DOES have indoor heating and I supposedly have the warmest room in the house, but I'm currently lying on my bed with leggings AND pants on, a blanket over me, and wearing a jacket and a sweatshirt.
Not much else exciting has happened since I last wrote. Shabbat dinners with my host family (learning about Jewish culture while in Chile was not something I was expecting!), exploring Santiago with my friend Winnie, taking advantage of free Sundays at various museums, and tasting various different desserts and candies is pretty much it. Next weekend a lot of the students from the program are going to Atacama or Valparaiso, but Winnie and I are opting for some much less expensive day trips – Pomaire, Cajon de Maipó, and possibly Viña del Mar. Decided I didn’t really need to spend $300+ when I’m already somewhere cool!

PS Including a couple more photos – it rained all day Saturday, so the smog was temporarily cleared away and could actually see the mountains. If Santiago can get their pollution problem taken care of, the city will really be spectacular.
