Terminé sacando notas acá, así que ahora voy a escuela para ir a escuela...Si obtengo todo las firmas y papeles organizados entonces voy a graduar =] Fútbol y tenís van bien. Cuando los chicos tiene un partido, juego basquetbol con los niños, que es muy divertido...y no soy mucho mejor que ellos jaja. Tengo menos que 3 semanas en Chile, que es super emocionante. No puedo esperar a regresar pero voy a extrañar mucho hablando español todos los días y mis amigos y familia acá. Esté preparado en mi casa, vas a estar aprendiendo español jaja =] Fotos y enlaces de fotos abajo. Los ultimos dos enlaces tiene nuevos fotos!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A quick update =] School is going extremely well. I finished getting all my grades here, so now I go to school, to go to school... As long as I get all the signatures and papers organized, I graduated! =D Soccer and tennis are both going well. When the guys have a game, I play basketball with the little kids, which is a lot of fun...and I'm not all that much better than them haha. I have less than 3 weeks left, which is super exciting. I can't wait to come home but will also miss speaking spanish everyday and my friends and family here. So be prepared at home, you will be learning spanish haha =] Photo and photo links below, the last two have new photos!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the world says, “Give up,” Hope whispers, “Try it one more time.” – Unknown&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=182528&amp;id=1388515239&amp;l=abf830332b"&gt;Valpariso/Vina del Mar RYEP October&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=186747&amp;id=1388515239&amp;l=cffea2acc4"&gt;Talca RYEP November&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=190847&amp;id=1388515239&amp;l=56f2875d0e"&gt;South Trip, Chile RYEP Part 1 December&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=190863&amp;id=1388515239&amp;l=34911e9111"&gt;South Trip, CHile RYEP Part 2 December&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=196198&amp;id=1388515239&amp;l=318ebd5c9b"&gt;Misiones de Quirehue January&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=197543&amp;id=1388515239&amp;l=b26abe3d8b"&gt;Iquique/Humberstone/San Pedro January&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=165475&amp;id=1388515239&amp;l=e02f5bf2ca"&gt;Mi Vida en Chile =] Part 1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=185417&amp;id=1388515239&amp;l=88a4c75543"&gt;Mi Vida en Chile =] Part 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=200647&amp;id=1388515239&amp;l=36ad63fdfe"&gt;Mi Vida en Chile =] Part 3 Santiago/RapaNui&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2094604609888.218905.1388515239&amp;l=e2a1a5239b"&gt;Last Month!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IV Medio!

Caminé a escuela y entré en mi uniforme. Estamos en lo mismo sala del año pasado en la esquina del tercer piso. Tuvimos una reunión con los padres para las primeras horas sobre metas y el futuro. Mis padres acá no podrían venir. Entonces, fui con los otros “orphans” y eso fue nuestro grupo. Después, comimos desayuno arriba en la cafetería. Con los bebidos y comidas que quedaron, sacamos y trajimos a nuestra sala para luego.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;March 5th, Thursday, was my first day of school. I walked to school and entered in my uniform. We are in the same room as last year on the third floor in the corner. We had a meeting with the parents for the first hours about goals and the future. My parents here couldn’t come. So, I went with the other “orphans” and that was our group. After, we ate breakfast upstairs in the cafeteria. With the drinks and food that was left, we took and brought to our classroom for later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZjHfc2eHVYA/TZCVCIdPO4I/AAAAAAAAAOY/AqhIvc3wdUE/s1600/1st%2Bday%2Bof%2Bschool.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZjHfc2eHVYA/TZCVCIdPO4I/AAAAAAAAAOY/AqhIvc3wdUE/s200/1st%2Bday%2Bof%2Bschool.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589131001429179266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tenemos mucho nuevos profesores. Tenemos pocos cosas a elegir por clases en comparasen al colegio en los EEUU. Elegí biología, química, arte, y debate. Pero solo tres personas eligieron debate y por eso, estoy en una clase de actualidad sobre noticias de hoy. Los primeros dos días salimos a las 1. El viernes, a celebrar el fin de la semana corta, la clase tuvo un asado en uno de las casas y fue mue divertido.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have a lot of new teachers. We have few choices for classes in comparison to the US. I chose bio, chem, art, and debate. But only three persons chose debate and as a result, I am in a class abut today’s news. The first two days we left at 1. On Friday, to celebrate the end of the short we, the class had a barbeque at one the houses and it was fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mi horario es el siguiente: (las clases con estrellas elegí)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My schedule is the following: (the clases with the stars I chose)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cada 2 horas (aproximadamente) tenemos recreo para 15 minutos. Cada clase es “una hora”, pues un poco menos.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every 2 hours (about) we have recess for 15 minutes. Each clase is “one hour”, well a little less.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Almuerzo empieza a las 1:20 y va hasta 2:05. Entramos a las 8:10 y el día termina a las 4:30 todos los días menos viernes que termina a las 1:20.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lunch starts at 1:20 and goes until 2:05. We enter at 8:10 and the day ends at 4:30 every day minus Friday, where it ends at 1:20.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PSU es el gran prueba como la SAT o ACT pero es obligatorio y para lenguaje y mat, tenemos tiempo especialmente para preparar.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PSU is the huge test like the SAT or ACT but is manditory and for Lenguaje (LA in spanish) and math, we have time especially to prepare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mi clase no le  gusta a callerse jaja&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My clase doesn’t like to be quiet haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lunes:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PSU Lenguaje&lt;br /&gt;PSU Lenguaje&lt;br /&gt;Mat&lt;br /&gt;Mat&lt;br /&gt;Educación Física&lt;br /&gt;Almuerzo&lt;br /&gt;Biología&lt;br /&gt;Biología&lt;br /&gt;Ingles &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Martes&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Biología*&lt;br /&gt;Biología*&lt;br /&gt;Lenguaje&lt;br /&gt;Lenguaje&lt;br /&gt;Química*&lt;br /&gt;Química*&lt;br /&gt;Almuerzo&lt;br /&gt;Historía&lt;br /&gt;Ingles&lt;br /&gt;Ingles&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Miércoles&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mat&lt;br /&gt;Mat&lt;br /&gt;Cosas de curso (Class things)&lt;br /&gt;Cosas de curso&lt;br /&gt;Biología*&lt;br /&gt;Biología*&lt;br /&gt;Almuerzo&lt;br /&gt;Filosofía&lt;br /&gt;Filosofía&lt;br /&gt;Filosofía&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jueves&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arte*&lt;br /&gt;Arte*&lt;br /&gt;Historía&lt;br /&gt;Historía&lt;br /&gt;Lenguaje&lt;br /&gt;Lenguaje&lt;br /&gt;Almuerzo&lt;br /&gt;Biología&lt;br /&gt;Actualidad*&lt;br /&gt;Actualidad*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Viernes:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PSU Mat&lt;br /&gt;PSU Mat&lt;br /&gt;Mat&lt;br /&gt;Religión&lt;br /&gt;Religión&lt;br /&gt;Filosofía&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;En biología hemos extraído ADN del plátano y también calentando vidrío…qué divertido! En historia trabajamos en una línea del tiempo. En química, decoramos el mural para ciencias. En la clase de ingles, las cosas que leen y trabaja en son sobre salud mental y problemas adolecentes. Es una idea buena para combinarlos.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In bio, we have extracted DNA from a banana and also molded glass…what fun! In history, we worked on a time line. In chem, we decorated a wall for the sciences. In English, the things that they reed and work in are over mental health and adolescent issues. It is a good idea to combine learning English and those lessons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yY43JjDyW34/TZCW8DVXzvI/AAAAAAAAAOg/-g24nCfPZqE/s1600/IMG00055-20110314-1527.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yY43JjDyW34/TZCW8DVXzvI/AAAAAAAAAOg/-g24nCfPZqE/s200/IMG00055-20110314-1527.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589133095998050034" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ayudo con tres otros estudiantes en el nuevo club de ciencias para los niños del sexto y séptimo básico.

Tengo un nuevo profe pero todo parece bien y estamos trabajando en mi técnica del golpe, como yo tengo la raqueta en mi mano. Veo mucho cambio y estoy mejorando ya. Además, los sábados, estoy en Scouts desde 10:30 hasta 1. Y, estoy yendo a misa cada semana ahora. =D&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I help with three other students in the new science club for kids from 6th and 7th grade. On March 19th, we traveled to the University of Chile to see the animals. It was fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Outside of school, I practice tennis two times a week. I have a new coach but all seems well and we are working technically on my hits, like how I hold the racket in my hand. I see a lot of change and I am getting better. Additionally, on Saturdays, I am in Scouts from 10:30 until 1. And, I am going to mass each week now. =D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El 13 de Marzo era el cumpleaños de la bisabuela de la familia. Fuimos, Carlos, Maka y yo, a un almuerzo para ella. Tiene 93 años y está en este momento en buen salud, sin problemas de oyendo o memoria. =D&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On March 13th, it was the birthday of the great grandma of the family. We went, Carlos, Maka and I, to a lunch for her. She is 93 years old and is, in this moment, in good health, without problems of hearing or memory. =D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maka y yo (Maka and I)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ShIcykbl2JY/TZCX7UnLUrI/AAAAAAAAAO4/N6aYZuy0Cdo/s1600/93rd%2BB-day%2Bgrandma.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ShIcykbl2JY/TZCX7UnLUrI/AAAAAAAAAO4/N6aYZuy0Cdo/s200/93rd%2BB-day%2Bgrandma.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589134182967890610" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Martes del semana pasado tenía un día difícil pero fue bueno que la miss de inglés estuvo allá a oírme. Esa noche tuve una reunión de Rotary que no llegué a la casa hasta 1 am!  Fui a escuela tarde el próxima día con ropa, comida, y un saco de dormir porque mi curso esa día a las dos salió para un retiro. Llegamos a una casa grande y lugar precioso. Llenado de actividades, muchas de religión, era muy buena. Igual una noche, lloré para mi casa, todo que ha pasado, que extraño mi familia, que no quiero ir (100 días quedó ese día) y no sé de todo. Gracias a Díos que tenía nuestro jefe de curso quién me escuchó y me ayudó mucho. También mi curso me apoyó mucho y tengo mucho suerte que ellos son tan cariñosos. =]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday of last week I had a difficult day but it was good that the English teacher was there to hear me out. That night I had a Rotary meeting and I didn’t get back to the house until  1 am! I went to school late the next day with clothes, food and a sleeping bag because the seniors (my class) left at 2 that day for a retreat. We arrived to a huge house and a precious location. Filled with activities, many religious, it was very good. All the same, that night, I cried for my house, all that had happened, that I missed my family, that I didn’t want to go (I had 100 days left that day)  and I don’t know what, everything. Thanks to God, I had our head teacher who listened to me and helped me a lot. Also, my class supported me and I have such luck that they are so caring. =]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oeRivtXil3g/TZCZTlBWVXI/AAAAAAAAAPg/TZr5clNVeSo/s1600/IMG_5965.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oeRivtXil3g/TZCZTlBWVXI/AAAAAAAAAPg/TZr5clNVeSo/s200/IMG_5965.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589135699201119602" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mziWuy4s8Jw/TZCZDvj07_I/AAAAAAAAAPY/de0K5HdaSr4/s1600/IMG_6006.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mziWuy4s8Jw/TZCZDvj07_I/AAAAAAAAAPY/de0K5HdaSr4/s200/IMG_6006.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589135427152179186" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gZxdM4WF2PM/TZCZC_ngW5I/AAAAAAAAAPI/9zblRKSnGbE/s1600/IMG_5958.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gZxdM4WF2PM/TZCZC_ngW5I/AAAAAAAAAPI/9zblRKSnGbE/s200/IMG_5958.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589135414282705810" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yTdWrzDi5Y0/TZCZCrrDTPI/AAAAAAAAAPA/Cjb2zGBH814/s1600/IMG_5979.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yTdWrzDi5Y0/TZCZCrrDTPI/AAAAAAAAAPA/Cjb2zGBH814/s200/IMG_5979.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589135408928869618" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Este viernes tuvimos un día muy bueno. En mat, terminé mi trabajo y leí. En religión, tuvimos una conversación bacán. No quería que la clase termine.

In math, I finished my work and read. In religion, we had an awesome conversation. I didn’t want the class to end. This year, we have a teacher that we can ask everything and he explains super well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets see:&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday/Thursday  retreat = street clothes&lt;br /&gt;Friday  Jean’s Day = street clothes&lt;br /&gt;Monday/Tuesday  PSU practice tests = street clothes and early dismissal&lt;br /&gt;I’m happy =D haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Para educar a un niño en el camino que debe ir, debes seguir tú también ese camino&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;To educate a child in the path he should go, you should too follow that path.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-U85Qm70cqdE/TZCaB2OCwRI/AAAAAAAAAPo/x0qeyV9G-fk/s1600/IMG_3058.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 155px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-U85Qm70cqdE/TZCaB2OCwRI/AAAAAAAAAPo/x0qeyV9G-fk/s200/IMG_3058.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589136494091747602" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1238178773336952220-2226891893126084989?l=lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/feeds/2226891893126084989/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2011/03/escuelaaaaa-schooooool.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/2226891893126084989'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/2226891893126084989'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2011/03/escuelaaaaa-schooooool.html' title='Escuelaaaaa/ Schooooool'/><author><name>Hannah Hayduk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12974931478418933452</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZjHfc2eHVYA/TZCVCIdPO4I/AAAAAAAAAOY/AqhIvc3wdUE/s72-c/1st%2Bday%2Bof%2Bschool.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238178773336952220.post-4819444156172632092</id><published>2011-02-28T04:43:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-28T04:43:46.301-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="400" height="300" &gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.facebook.com/v/1885779069380" /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.facebook.com/v/1885779069380" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="300"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1238178773336952220-4819444156172632092?l=lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/feeds/4819444156172632092/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2011/02/blog-post.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/4819444156172632092'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/4819444156172632092'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2011/02/blog-post.html' title=''/><author><name>Hannah Hayduk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12974931478418933452</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238178773336952220.post-8109589692354634026</id><published>2011-02-21T07:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-21T14:08:27.894-08:00</updated><title type='text'>1st/2nd of July</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Acá estamos casi en el fin del febrero. Mi verano ésta terminando y escuela empieza el 3 de marzo. Qué difícil mi vida =P&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here we are almost in the end of February. My summer is finishing and school starts the third of march. What a hard life =P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Esta mes estoy difrutando el verano con la piscina y los primos que están aquí. Tenemos mucho divertido y jugamos volibol y todo. Estamos teniendo un gran tiempo. =D En el principio del mes comimos sushi con amigos pero un adviso, toma mucho tiempo para hacer el sushi, especialmente cuando no somos profesionales jaja. Igual, el sushi fue delicioso!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This month I am enjoying the summer with the pool and cousins that are here. We have a lot of fun and played volleyball and all. We are having a great time. =D In the start of the moth we ate sushi with friends but a heads up, it takes a lot of time to make sushi, especially when we aren't profesionals haha. THe same, the sushi was delicious!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Albertito =P jaja&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-V3BTtxDjBwQ/TWKPFthhlvI/AAAAAAAAAMw/fuIXDLsGXZU/s1600/IMG_3306.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-V3BTtxDjBwQ/TWKPFthhlvI/AAAAAAAAAMw/fuIXDLsGXZU/s200/IMG_3306.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576176616920422130" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OZ6_piV_LPg/TWKPFGy7ivI/AAAAAAAAAMo/4i-Lz2pUPHo/s1600/IMG_3301.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OZ6_piV_LPg/TWKPFGy7ivI/AAAAAAAAAMo/4i-Lz2pUPHo/s200/IMG_3301.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576176606524443378" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;En la tema de la fecha de mi regreso: Voy a salir Chile en la noche del 1 de Julio y estaré en PA el 2 de Julio!!! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the topic of my return: I will leave Chile the 1 of July and be in PA the 2 of July!! =D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Junté con una amiga del intercambio y con éxito, navigamos el metro y el micro. Tuve que ir desde el norte de Santiago al opuesto lado en el sur a San Bernardo. Ahora estoy comoda usando el metro. Cuando estuvimos en la piscina, estuvimos hablando y yo pregunté "How many years does he have?" que es la pregunta, Cuantos años tiene? literalmente en english. jaja español está en mi cabeza...en ingles... Fuimos a ver "Una Noche Encanto" y fue muy bueno&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;I got together with an exchange friend and with success, we navigated the metro (subway) and the micro (bus system). I had to go from the North of Santiago to the other side of in the south to San Bernardo. NOw I am comfortable using the metro. When we were in the pool, we were talking and I asked "How many years does he have?" that is the question for How many years old? (Cuantos años tiene) literally in English. jaja Spanish is in my head...in English...WE then went to see "Burlesque" and it was really good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El 6 de Febrero fui a La Moneda a ver la Vuelta de Chile. Había muchas personas en el fin y fue muy divertido a ver/estar una competencia de ciclisma otra vez. Hubo un equipo desde los EEUU y muchos de Chile, algunos de otro lugares como Italia, Cuba, Argentina. El presidente estuvo allá para el fin de la competencia! Y casi, cuando caminó por la cerca, casi toqué la mano...pero no. Lo mismo, era muy emocionante a ver a él tan cerca. Un día bueno.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;February 6th, I went to the Moneda (White House of Chile) to see the Vuelta de Chile. There were a lot of persons in the end and it was fun to see/to be at a cycling race again. There was a team from the US and lots from Chile, some of the other countries like Italy, Cuba, and Argentina. The president (of Chile) was there for the end of the race! And almost, when he walked by the fence, almos touched his hand...but no. All the same, it was very excting to see him so close. A good day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A9xgVgJRH1M/TWKQ7qHjZsI/AAAAAAAAANA/E091JFUUpiM/s1600/IMG_5776.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A9xgVgJRH1M/TWKQ7qHjZsI/AAAAAAAAANA/E091JFUUpiM/s200/IMG_5776.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576178643230746306" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dHpYg3avSIc/TWKQ7BSAOVI/AAAAAAAAAM4/1Prk4e82bY0/s1600/IMG_5722.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dHpYg3avSIc/TWKQ7BSAOVI/AAAAAAAAAM4/1Prk4e82bY0/s200/IMG_5722.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576178632268724562" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="400" height="300" &gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.facebook.com/v/1850556188830" /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.facebook.com/v/1850556188830" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="300"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hubo lluvia!! Por un día =D Tambien, relampagos, truenos, y un temblor. Estaba muy emocionante que hubo truenos porque me recordé de pennsylvania y eso pasa mucho en el verano. Jugamos volibol en la lluvia.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was rain!! For one day =D In addition, lightning, thunder, and a tremor. It was exciting to have thunder because it reminded me of summer in PA. We played volleyball in the rain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tengo otra fruta favorita que se llama tuna. Es la fruta de un cactus.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have another favorite fruit called tuna. It's the fruit of a cactus.&lt;br /&gt;fruit of a cactus = &lt;strong&gt;tuna&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tuna (en ingles) = &lt;strong&gt;atún&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ApfBCvLgkrs/TWKV-9uyxNI/AAAAAAAAANY/8H3UqLDA2Oc/s1600/X%2BPlanta%2Bde%2BTuna%2By%2Bsus%2Bfrutas.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ApfBCvLgkrs/TWKV-9uyxNI/AAAAAAAAANY/8H3UqLDA2Oc/s200/X%2BPlanta%2Bde%2BTuna%2By%2Bsus%2Bfrutas.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576184197593351378" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;En el medio del mes, tuve la opurtunidad a conocer Santiago con mi profe de biología. Muchas gracias a ella por una experiencía superbuena =D Tuve un gran tiempo y ahora conozco mucho de Santiago. Fuimos a la Moneda, tumba de Bernardo O'Higgins, Plaza del Armas, Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombiano, Edificio Ex Congresional, Museo Histórico Nacional, la Catedral, y Cerro Santa Lucia todo en un día!  Caminando tambien. Tuvimos problemas caminando y casi nos caimos muchas veces porque de las hormigas cabezonas jajajaja Y las fuentes de agua en la noche. El próximo día, subimos el cerro San Cristobal, al lugar más alta de Santiago. Muy grande el viaje, pero vale la pena jaja&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the middle of the moth, I had the oppurtunity to get to know Santiago with my biology teacher. Many thanks to her for an awesome experience =D I had a great time and now know a lot more of Santiago. We went to la Moneda, Bernardo O'higgins' tomb, Plaza del Armas, Chilean Museum of Precolonial Art, the Ex Congressional Building, CHilean National Historical Museum, the Cathedral, and Santa Lucia Hill all in one day! Walking too. We had problems walking and almost fell a bunch of times because of the ants with big heads (chilean saying for the bumps in the sidewalk where it is uneven) hahahaha And the water show at night. THe next day, we climbed Cerro San Cristobal, to the highest place in Santiago. A big/long trip, but worth the pain haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Uo2iaaXmouY/TWLTN71xXaI/AAAAAAAAAOA/J-2aV73s2bY/s1600/ZB%2BIngreso%2Boriginal%2Ba%2BLa%2BChascona.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Uo2iaaXmouY/TWLTN71xXaI/AAAAAAAAAOA/J-2aV73s2bY/s200/ZB%2BIngreso%2Boriginal%2Ba%2BLa%2BChascona.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576251524993080738" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_tvLTJcEDy0/TWLTNWcWzhI/AAAAAAAAAN4/Y_sn3VOSJ34/s1600/Y%2BHannah%2By%2Bla%2BVirgen.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_tvLTJcEDy0/TWLTNWcWzhI/AAAAAAAAAN4/Y_sn3VOSJ34/s200/Y%2BHannah%2By%2Bla%2BVirgen.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576251514954370578" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EiQlJeOeVCc/TWLTMwool3I/AAAAAAAAANw/6pkXeNFLox0/s1600/Q%2BFuente%2Bde%2Bcolores%2BPlaza%2Bde%2Bla%2BAviaci%25C3%25B3n%2BProvidencia.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EiQlJeOeVCc/TWLTMwool3I/AAAAAAAAANw/6pkXeNFLox0/s200/Q%2BFuente%2Bde%2Bcolores%2BPlaza%2Bde%2Bla%2BAviaci%25C3%25B3n%2BProvidencia.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576251504805320562" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_RGUkffqou0/TWLTMV1uDII/AAAAAAAAANo/5ohQm3_28Q4/s1600/V%2BHannah%2By%2Bla%2BTorre%2Bdel%2BCostanera%2BCenter.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_RGUkffqou0/TWLTMV1uDII/AAAAAAAAANo/5ohQm3_28Q4/s200/V%2BHannah%2By%2Bla%2BTorre%2Bdel%2BCostanera%2BCenter.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576251497612446850" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ULqA00eHmB4/TWLTMJk_OyI/AAAAAAAAANg/PRV8Fha-KM0/s1600/A%2BFrontis%2BPalacio%2Bde%2BLa%2BMoneda.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ULqA00eHmB4/TWLTMJk_OyI/AAAAAAAAANg/PRV8Fha-KM0/s200/A%2BFrontis%2BPalacio%2Bde%2BLa%2BMoneda.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576251494321044258" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Este fin de semana, fui a Pichilena. Creo que es mi lugar favorito de Chile porque es tan tranquila, puedo disfrutar y relejar en la playa con las olas, y estamos allá con familia (abuelos, tios, etc). Divertido y tranquilo. =D Regresamos anoche.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This weekend, I went to Pichilena. I believe that it is my favorite place in Chile because it is so chill. I can enjoy and relax on the beach with the waves, and we are there with family (grandparents, uncles, aunts, etc). Fun and chill. =D We returned last night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iIknBc9AZi4/TWLZbtCx_1I/AAAAAAAAAOQ/eHClWvm047U/s1600/IMG_5804.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iIknBc9AZi4/TWLZbtCx_1I/AAAAAAAAAOQ/eHClWvm047U/s200/IMG_5804.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576258358609051474" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-V_PI3WsgHDs/TWLZbPer5qI/AAAAAAAAAOI/BrTntmAfYQ0/s1600/IMG_5824.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-V_PI3WsgHDs/TWLZbPer5qI/AAAAAAAAAOI/BrTntmAfYQ0/s200/IMG_5824.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576258350673028770" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Qué lindo es soñar.

Después de despidiendo la Mónica, juntamos, por suerte, con un compañero de la Maka cuando ella vivó en Iquique. Él es de Inglaterra y por algunos momentos, practicamos nuestro inglés.  Un tío nos recibió en Iquique, después del vuelo de no más de 2 horas. Llegamos a la casa dónde el Alberto, mi padre chileno, estaba esperando. Entramos la casa y vimos que estaba con mucho desorganizado. Pero un momento luego, supimos por qué. La casa, ese día, había robada!! Qué loco! Todos los televisores, computadores, y un X-box, no estaban! Los guardias vinieron y también la policía. Al menos, ahora, no hay nada a robar, y por eso, nos quedamos allá. Estaba muy feliz porque la casa tenía algunas cosas pequeñas para ejercicios como en el gimnasio. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We left for the airport the 13th of January. After saying goodbye to Monica, we met up, by luck, with an old classmate of Maka’s from when she lived in Iquique. He is from England and for some moments, we practiced our English. A family friend received us in Iquique, after the flight of no more tan 2 hours. We arrived to the house where Alberto, my Chilean dad, was waiting. We entered the house and saw that it was super disorganized. But a moment later, we knew why. The house, that day, had been robbed!! Crazy!! All the tvs, computers, and an X-box were missing! Security and police came. At least, now, there was nothing to rob, and for that, we stayed there. I was quite happy because the house had a mini gym.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iquique:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUixNRKbgZI/AAAAAAAAAMc/OWRW9QPwFqg/s1600/IMG_5529.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUixNRKbgZI/AAAAAAAAAMc/OWRW9QPwFqg/s200/IMG_5529.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568895780747182482" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;La mayor parte de los días, salí a correr para 30 minutos, con una vista de la playa. No estuvimos muy cerca para bajar pero pudimos ver. Un día salí a correr, pero tenía que ir al baño, y pensé que estuve más cerca de la MiniMark, un supermercado, que la casa. Estuve equivocada. haha Ese día, corrí por más de una hora, ida y vuelta. Pero divertido =] Ahora, sé mejor jaja.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most days, I left to run for 30 minutes, with a view of the beach. We weren’t very close to go down to the beach, but we could see it. One day I left to run, but I had to go to the bathroom, and I though that I was closer to MiniMark, a supermarket, than the house. I was mistaken. Haha That day, I ran for more than one hour, there and back. But it was fun =] Now, I know better haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Comimos sushi dos veces, cerca de la playa, y me gusta sushi mucho. Ádemas, comí una comida nuevo para mí que se llama loco. Son redondos y la carne parece como langosta en que es dura.&lt;br /&gt;Domingo, fui a la catedral de Iquique para misa a las 11:00. Fue diferente pero bueno y es un monumento histórico. Después, caminé por la playa y saqué fotos.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We ate sushi two times, close to the beach, and I like sushi a lot. Also, I ate a new food for me called loco. They are round and the meat seems like lobster in that it is a little tougher.&lt;br /&gt;Sunday, I went to the cathedral of Iquique for mass at 11:00. It was different but good and is a historical monument. After, I walked by the beach and took photos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUiplwrvAhI/AAAAAAAAALU/B9yf00n_y8w/s1600/IMG_5494.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUiplwrvAhI/AAAAAAAAALU/B9yf00n_y8w/s200/IMG_5494.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568887405432209938" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUipllx0jiI/AAAAAAAAALM/Aml_sbujkWw/s1600/IMG_5438.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 146px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUipllx0jiI/AAAAAAAAALM/Aml_sbujkWw/s200/IMG_5438.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568887402504949282" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUiplFnXBXI/AAAAAAAAALE/uQ_gHqKYe3g/s1600/IMG_5387.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUiplFnXBXI/AAAAAAAAALE/uQ_gHqKYe3g/s200/IMG_5387.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568887393871136114" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUipk0VwzbI/AAAAAAAAAK8/l5oh00zqQJI/s1600/IMG_5386.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUipk0VwzbI/AAAAAAAAAK8/l5oh00zqQJI/s200/IMG_5386.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568887389233925554" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;La playa en Iquique está llena de personas y medusas. Parece que muchos de las medusas son muertes porque no molestan (la mayor parte) las personas en el agua. Pero, lo mismo, qué miedo! No hay tiburones cerca de la playa. Iquique tiene lo mismo tiempo todo el año con temperaturas cerca de 25 centígrados. También está en el desierto que se llama, La Atacama. La Atacama es el desierto más seco del mundo! Siempre yo estaba olvidando que no hay cambios de estaciones y entonces todos las restaurantes y casas son con diseños para eso.&lt;/strong&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The beach in Iquique is full of people and jellyfish. It seemed like most of the jellyfish are dead since they didn’t (mostly) bother people in the water. But, all the same, how scary! There aren’t sharks near the beach. Iquique has the same weather all year with temperatures in the low 80s Fahrenheit. Also, it is in the desert called The Atacama Desert. The Atacama is the driest desert in the world! I always was forgetting there isn’t a change in seasons and then all the restaurants and houses are designed a certain way for that reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El 22 de enero, fuimos a Humberstone, un lugar dónde entre el medio de siglo XIX y XX, vivían personas que trabajaron en una mina de salitre. Vivían allá hasta los alemanas inventaron una versión sintética del producto. Es muy interesante y tiene muchas cosas originales de la época desde cubiertos, una piscina, botellas y mucho más. Me sentí como estuve en el “Old West”. Después, fuimos a un santuario religioso dónde un hombre estaba enfermo y promesa el Señor si ayudó a él a ser mejor; él va a construir algo para él. Y mejoró. Siguiente, fuimos a Pica dónde ellos vivían por dos o tres años y hay baños de vapor que son famosos. Durante el paseo en el auto, pudimos ver muchos pequeñitos tornados…qué loco. Son tan pequeños que no hacen nada pero, igual, loco!&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;February 22, we went to Humberstone, a place where between the mid 19th and 20th century, lived people that worked in a nitrate mine. They lived there until the Germans invented a synthetic version. It is very interesting and has many original artifacts of the age from silverware, a pool, bottles, and much more. I felt like I was in the “Old West”. After, we went to a religious sanctuary where a man was sick and promised the Lord if he helped him to get better; he would build something for him. And he got better and fulfilled his promise. Following that, we went to Pica where the family lived for 2 or 3 years and there are natural steam baths that are famous. During the drive, we could see many small twisters…how crazy! They are so small that they don’t do anything but, the same, crazy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUivInegY-I/AAAAAAAAALs/507pwLBU7Ak/s1600/IMG_5592.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUivInegY-I/AAAAAAAAALs/507pwLBU7Ak/s200/IMG_5592.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568893501814367202" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUivIavs8II/AAAAAAAAALk/KoYrg_wG3gU/s1600/IMG_5541.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUivIavs8II/AAAAAAAAALk/KoYrg_wG3gU/s200/IMG_5541.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568893498396831874" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUivH1dGLRI/AAAAAAAAALc/NMe8ILxTXXc/s1600/IMG_5583.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUivH1dGLRI/AAAAAAAAALc/NMe8ILxTXXc/s200/IMG_5583.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568893488386682130" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El 27 de enero, salimos la casa muy temprano para ir al centro de buses y tomar un bus a Calama. El tiempo de viaje fue 6 horas en un bus que se llama semicama. Tuvimos que parar para los aduanas que hacen seguros que no estamos trayendo cosa desde Iquique que no podemos. En Iquique, muchas cosas son vendido sin puestos y por eso, tienen que las cuidar que está saliendo de la ciudad. Todo pasó bien. Llegamos a Calama y estuvimos en el mal hasta Alberto podría venir a buscar para nosotros para ir a San Pedro.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;January 27th, we left the house really early to go to the bus station and take a bus to Calama. The total trip time was 6 hours and it was on a bus called a “semicama” or half bed. We had to stop for customs that make sure that we aren’t bringing items from Iquique that we can’t. In Iquique, many things are sold without taxes and for that, they have to be careful what is leaving the city. All passed well. We arrived in Calama where we waited in the mall for Alberto to pick us up to go to San Pedro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Durante el paseo a San Pedro, había un arbolito que tenía un señal que decía dame agua. Estaba allá por mucho tiempo y paramos a dar agua. Pasamos por la Cordillera de Sal y llegamos a San Pedro dónde comimos la cena y encontramos el hotel. San Pedro es una ciudad para las turísticas y todos cierran a las 1 de la mañana. Entonces, personas pueden descansar sin problemas de ruido. El día siguiente, fuimos al museo de artefactos desde los indignos y también pasamos por la casa de Pedro Valdivia.  Después de almuerzo, fuimos a la valle de la luna que es muy similar de los “Bad Lands” en EEUU pero La Valle de La Luna es todo un color. Muy lindo. Caminamos en un cueva donde usamos un celular para luz porque no trajimos una farol. También vimos la puesta del sol.  El próximo día, vimos un pueblo debajo de la tierra que tiene más de 2.800 años! Volvimos a Iquique y salimos en la noche para venir a Santiago. Llegamos, el domingo, a las 3 de la mañana. Qué tarde, pues temprano jaja.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the trip to San Pedro, there was a little tree that had a sign that said give me water. It has been there for a long time and we stopped to give it water. We passed by the Mountains of Salt and arrived in San Pedro where we ate supper and found the hotel. San Pedro is a city for the tourists and everything closes at 1 in the morning. Then, people can rest without problems from noise. The following day, we went to a museum of artifacts from the indigenous tribes and we also passed by the house of Pedro Valdivia. After lunch, we went to the Valley of the Moon that is similar to the Bad Lands in the US but the Valley of the Moon was all one color. Very pretty. We walked in a cave where we used a cell for light because we didn’t bring a lantern. We also watched the sunset. The next day, we saw a community underneath the earth that had more than 2.800 years! We returned to Iquique and left that night to come to Santiago. We arrived, Sunday, at 3 in the morning. How late, well, early haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUiwlTnAqHI/AAAAAAAAAMU/-uU2_GcmT3U/s1600/IMG_1824.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUiwlTnAqHI/AAAAAAAAAMU/-uU2_GcmT3U/s200/IMG_1824.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568895094209161330" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUiwlHZnptI/AAAAAAAAAMM/UjS4Pj5w9GE/s1600/IMG_1724.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUiwlHZnptI/AAAAAAAAAMM/UjS4Pj5w9GE/s200/IMG_1724.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568895090931771090" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUiwk7QWedI/AAAAAAAAAME/EiqO2IG8F50/s1600/IMG_1741.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUiwk7QWedI/AAAAAAAAAME/EiqO2IG8F50/s200/IMG_1741.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568895087671671250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUiwknOTqPI/AAAAAAAAAL8/GUedpndI--8/s1600/IMG_1757.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 160px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUiwknOTqPI/AAAAAAAAAL8/GUedpndI--8/s200/IMG_1757.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568895082294388978" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUiwkjddrfI/AAAAAAAAAL0/5wRPYBMcfyQ/s1600/IMG_1720.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUiwkjddrfI/AAAAAAAAAL0/5wRPYBMcfyQ/s200/IMG_1720.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568895081284218354" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Domingo, hubo una misa en honor de Rotary en Maipu. Y después, comimos almuerzo. Tomé el micro y fue una experiencia buena. Hablé con mis consejeros y regresé a la casa en la tarde. Por los dos días pasados, los abuelos, del lado de la mama, estuvieron acá. Quiero a ellos mucho porque son tan cariñosos. Es una lata que tienen que regresar a su casa.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday, there was a mass in honor of Rotary in Maipu (city pronounced like My Poo hahaha). And after, we ate lunch. I took the micro aka bus system and it was a good experience. I spoke with my counselors and returned to the house in the afternoon. For the past two days, the grandparents, on the mom’s side, were here. I love them a lot because they are so caring and lovely. It is a shame that they have to return to their house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sin embargo, el mes de enero, vino al fin y llegué a la mitad de mi intercambio. Qué más a decir pero AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH jaja. 5 ½ meses pasados y 5 ½ meses a venir. Me extraño mis amigos y familia de los EEUU muchísimo pero también quiero mis amigos, familia y vida acá. Estoy disfrutando mi tiempo pero también no puedo esperar a ver todo en Julio! Si hay algo que aprendí acá es para ser mí mismo y nada menos. Y eso es importante. Encontré amigos y estoy cómodo con ellos porque puedo ser mí mismo con ellos =D.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And thus, the month of January, came to an end and I arrived at the middle of my exchange year. What more to say but AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH haha. 5 ½ months down and 5 ½ months to come. I miss my family and friends from the US so much but also I love my friends, family, and life here. I am enjoying my time but also I can wait to see everyone in July! If there is something that I have learned here is to be myself and nothing less. And that is important. I found friends and I am comfortable with them because I can be myself with them =D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“It’s just such a freeing thing to set these great challenges for yourself, to travel, to learn more about the world, to just go out there and get crazy, get free, and get strong.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope y’all are staying warm in PA. So many snow days!!! =D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More fotos: &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=197543&amp;id=1388515239&amp;l=b26abe3d8b"&gt;HERE =]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1238178773336952220-9077775398456303935?l=lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/feeds/9077775398456303935/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2011/02/midpoint.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/9077775398456303935'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/9077775398456303935'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2011/02/midpoint.html' title='The Midpoint'/><author><name>Hannah Hayduk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12974931478418933452</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TUixNRKbgZI/AAAAAAAAAMc/OWRW9QPwFqg/s72-c/IMG_5529.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238178773336952220.post-4734474651686649884</id><published>2011-01-23T09:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-23T09:49:53.630-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>I'm in Iquique right now with the beach and the heat! =D I'll write soon but here are my pictures till then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=197543&amp;id=1388515239&amp;l=b26abe3d8b"&gt;Click here!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best wishes! =D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1238178773336952220-4734474651686649884?l=lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/feeds/4734474651686649884/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2011/01/im-in-iquique-right-now-with-beach-and.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/4734474651686649884'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/4734474651686649884'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2011/01/im-in-iquique-right-now-with-beach-and.html' title=''/><author><name>Hannah Hayduk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12974931478418933452</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238178773336952220.post-1026704017745805761</id><published>2011-01-15T07:43:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-16T14:45:03.078-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Quirehue =D</title><content type='html'>Fotos de Quirehue: &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=196198&amp;id=1388515239&amp;l=318ebd5c9b"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salí para Quirehue muy temprano el 4 de enero con 3 otras compañeras de mi curso en bus. Juntamos con *33* otra personas para el paseo de 4-5 horas. Un chico fue contando cuantos personas y él dijo, "32, faltamos un minero." "Te contaste?" "Oh! 33 mineros, todos estamos acá" jaja&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I left fo Quirehue quite early January 4th with 3 other girls from my class by bus. We gathered with *33* other people for the 4-5 hour trip. On boy was counting people and he said, "32, we are short one miner." "Did you count yourself?" "Oh! 33 miners, we are all here" haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Despues de llegando en Quirehue, comimos almuerzo y tuvimos una misa. Empezó a llover muy fuerte pero pasó despues de 20 minutos aproximadamente. Seperamos en nuestros grupos y partamos. Mi grupo tuvo dos profes (una mujer y un hombre), 3 chicos, y 6 chicas (incluyendo yo). Despues de limpiando los pisos y la cocina, nos acostamos.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After arriving in Quirehue, we ate lunch and had mass. It started to rain cats and dogs but it passed after about 20 minutes. We seperated into our groups (there were 4) and parted ways. My group consisted of 2 professors (a woman and a man), 3 boys, and 6 girls (including me). After cleaning the floors and the kitchen, we went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TTLrCKHV2II/AAAAAAAAAJ8/djsqrsGgwCw/s1600/group%2B5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TTLrCKHV2II/AAAAAAAAAJ8/djsqrsGgwCw/s200/group%2B5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562766912063395970" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TTLrTVbE_gI/AAAAAAAAAKM/Y1Jc6dwyc4o/s1600/IMG_5034.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TTLrTVbE_gI/AAAAAAAAAKM/Y1Jc6dwyc4o/s200/IMG_5034.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562767207156743682" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TTLrTF0uAZI/AAAAAAAAAKE/bfeAJJ4QBUQ/s1600/IMG_5035.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TTLrTF0uAZI/AAAAAAAAAKE/bfeAJJ4QBUQ/s200/IMG_5035.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562767202969321874" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cada día, nos levantamos, pues algunos =P, a las 8 y comimos y cosas como eso antes de  saliendo a las 10. Tambien, cada día y noche hicimos oración y reflección. Los primeros dos días, todo estuvo misionando. Estaba muy diferente que en los EEUU. Todos las casas tienen cercas, no puedes tocar la puerta. Entonces, llamamos "Alo!" Esta populación fue con 5 iglesias evangelicas, muchos! Dijimos que somos de Quirehue y vamos a tener actividades con la comunidad a las 7. Vengan a hablar y juntar con los vecinos. Aunque, muchos iban evanjelicas, conocimos otras personas muy amables y pasamos a tomar té o jugo y hablar.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each day, we got up, well some =P, at 8 and ate breakfast, among other things, before leaving at 10. Also, each day and night, we did a prayer and reflection. The first two days, everyone was missioning. It was very different than in the US. All the houses had fences, and you couldn't knock on the door. Then, we called "Alo!" (hello) This population was with 5 evangelic churches, a lot! We said that we are from Quirehue and are going to have activities with the community at 7. Come and talk and get to gether with the neighbors. Although many were Evangelics, we got to know other very nive people and passed through to drink tea or juice and talk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TTLq0bUMS8I/AAAAAAAAAJ0/W4P3PIFZyMU/s1600/IMG_5074.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TTLq0bUMS8I/AAAAAAAAAJ0/W4P3PIFZyMU/s200/IMG_5074.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562766676162530242" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;La segunda noche, despues de la cena, pues fue más como once, fuimos a jugar fútbol con los chicos de la comunidad. El nombre de nuestro equipo, Hannah's boys jaja  Perdimos 1-5 pero fuera de eso, pienso que ayudó la comunidad a aceptar a nosotros. Y despues de eso, teníamos muchos más niños para el grupo de jovenes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No solamente misionamos, pero tambien ayudamos con la construction de una capilla. Sacamos 300 tablas de madera de una camion. Modemos una colina pequeño de arrena/tierra para arreglar el espacio y construir una pared.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second night, after supper, well it was more like once (snack time), we went to play soccer with the boys of the community. The name of our team, Hannah's boys haha.We lost 1-5 but outside of that, I think it helped the community to accept us. And after that, we had a lot more kids for the younger group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only were we missioning, but also we helped with the construction of a capilla. We removed 300 planks of wood from a truck. We moved a small hill of sand/dirt to fix up the space and make a wall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TTLsLclau1I/AAAAAAAAAKk/2pLdF45ZLyU/s1600/hannah%2527s%2Bboys.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TTLsLclau1I/AAAAAAAAAKk/2pLdF45ZLyU/s200/hannah%2527s%2Bboys.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562768171151833938" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TTLsLHbPfoI/AAAAAAAAAKc/54h5yshgBck/s1600/IMG_5063.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TTLsLHbPfoI/AAAAAAAAAKc/54h5yshgBck/s200/IMG_5063.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562768165472009858" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TTLsK0yMlgI/AAAAAAAAAKU/qN1e2UB7bi8/s1600/aworking.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TTLsK0yMlgI/AAAAAAAAAKU/qN1e2UB7bi8/s200/aworking.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562768160468014594" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Durante la semana, conocimos una tía muy amable. Siempre estaba dando a nosotro cerüellas y mermalada (que fue deliciosa). Una noche todo el grupo fue a comer papas fritas (20kg!!) que tres amigos y yo peleamos en la tarde despues de un almuerzo de todas las ensaladas que puedes imaginar. Pude ver la Milkyway y tambien la cruza del sur. Vimos estrellas de fuegaz. Mirando a las estrellas es increíble que son tan lejo y estás viendo la luz de días, meses, y años a trás.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the week, we met a very lovely lady. She was always giving us plums and mermalade (that was delicious). One night, the whol group went to eat french fries (20kg!!) that three friends and I pealed in the afternoon after a lunch of all the salads you can imagine. In the nights, I could see the Milkyway and also the Southern Cross. We saw shooting stars. Looking at the stars is incredible, so far away, and you are looking at the light days, months, and years old.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Un día, separamos en dos grupos y un se fue a trabajar a las 8. El otro, dormió hasta 8 para salir un poquito más luego y ir missionando. Pero nos levantamos tarde! Se despertí una de las profes y dije, "It's 9 am, we should probably get up." (Son las nueve de la mañana, nos debemos levantar.) Pero en ingles! jaja No entiendío. Y dé cuento y repití en español jaja. Tuve sueño.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day, we separated into 2 groups and one went to work at 8. The other, slept until 8 to leave a litle bit later and go missioning. But we got up late! I woke up one of the profesors and said, "It's 9 am, we should probably get up." In English! haha She didn't understand. I realized and repeated in spanish haha. I was tired.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hubo dos temblores que me fue despertado para. Fueron fuertes pero no tan largos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Teníamos un tiempo muy bueno. Conocí personas increíbles y es una experiencia preciosa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Juntamos con los otros grupos el 11 de enero en Quirehue para contar información sobre la comunidad y la experiencia. Salimos con 33 personas otro vez (numero magico? jaja)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were 2 earth trembles that I was awake for. They were strong but not that long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had a great time. I met amazing people and it is a precious experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We gathered with the other groups on January 11th in Quirehue to give a report about the community and the experience. We left with 33 people again. (magic number? haha)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TTLsj27b2UI/AAAAAAAAAK0/22VdPaoPq64/s1600/group%2B3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TTLsj27b2UI/AAAAAAAAAK0/22VdPaoPq64/s200/group%2B3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562768590540364098" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TTLsjtWQPTI/AAAAAAAAAKs/gN0iuY_5KjQ/s1600/amigas.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TTLsjtWQPTI/AAAAAAAAAKs/gN0iuY_5KjQ/s200/amigas.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562768587968494898" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El 13 de enero, la Maka, el Albertito, una amiga, y yo salimos para Iquique en la noche. Ahora, estamos acá con playa y una temperatura muy agradable. Más de Iquique luego.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;January 13th, Maka, Albertito, a friend, and I left for Iquique in the night. Now we are here with beach and a very agreeable climate.

Tengo tenís en la mañana ahora que no tengo escula. Algunos veces corro en los días que no tengo tenís. Hablando de corriendo, la nana de mi casa, sacó tercer lugar en una grande competencia de Brooks en Santiago. Felicidades!!! Ella es superrápido! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El 16 de Diciembre fueron los actos finales del colegio. Es una presentación de reconocimientos para estudiantes en deportes, escuela, y espititu.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The summer has been very chill. I have tennis in the morning now that I don't have school. Some times I run on the day that I don;t have tennis. Speaking of running, the nana of my house, took 3rd place in a huge Brooks sponsered running competition in Santiago. Congratulations!!! She is super fast!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;December 16th were the Final Acts of the school. It is a presentation of regonition for students in sports, school and spiritually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El 18 de Diciembre la Maka, el Carlos, el Albertito, y yo fuimos a San Fernando a visitar a los abuelos. hablamos mucho y comimos almuerzo. Hablé con el tío y él trabaja con químicas. Va a ir al Congreso Latinoamericano de Químicas. Fue en Lima Peru esto año. Qué interesante! Tambien fuimos a colectar cerezas desde los arboles. En el routo allá, vimos el lugar donde Carlos nació y el lugar (Nestle) donde su papa, el abuelo, trabajó. Es interesante como todos las personas tienen una historia. Eso es la razón que documentales y historias primeras son tan importante. Sacamos mucho cerezas y son muy deliciosas. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;December 18th Maka, Carlos, Albertito, and I went to San Fernando to visit the grandparents. We talked a lot and ate luch. I spoke with the uncle and he works with chemicals. He is going to go to the Latin American Congress on Chemicals. It was in Lima Peru this year. How interesting! Also, we went to collect cherries from the trees. On the route there, we saw the place where Carlos was born and the place (Nestle) where his dad, the grandfather, worked. It is interesting how everybody has a history. That is the reason that documentaries and primary sources are so important. We picked lots of cherries and they are very delicious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TSDzv4x1abI/AAAAAAAAAI8/-9z9qpS956Q/s1600/IMG_4962.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TSDzv4x1abI/AAAAAAAAAI8/-9z9qpS956Q/s200/IMG_4962.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557709944196000178" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TSDzGAGPW9I/AAAAAAAAAI0/wvaRKbWdvZM/s1600/IMG_4869.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TSDzGAGPW9I/AAAAAAAAAI0/wvaRKbWdvZM/s200/IMG_4869.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557709224606129106" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TSDzFiFAkxI/AAAAAAAAAIs/2eah9SAUB5o/s1600/IMG_4875.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TSDzFiFAkxI/AAAAAAAAAIs/2eah9SAUB5o/s200/IMG_4875.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557709216547902226" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TSDzFPQb8BI/AAAAAAAAAIk/SPi1G1j_cHA/s1600/IMG_4899.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TSDzFPQb8BI/AAAAAAAAAIk/SPi1G1j_cHA/s200/IMG_4899.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557709211495559186" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TSDzEdY-joI/AAAAAAAAAIc/8s890D-3A9I/s1600/IMG_4914.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TSDzEdY-joI/AAAAAAAAAIc/8s890D-3A9I/s200/IMG_4914.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557709198109609602" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mi hermano y yo jugamos el juego de cartas, Uno. Pero lo cambiamos a Uno Chileno Extremo. Jugamos con 33 cartas y espejos. Ademas, cada persona puede poner el +(x) cartas en la pila y cuando alguien no tiene, toma el total de todo.  Muy divertido!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vi la eclipse de la luna! Fue roja y muy linda.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My brother and I play the card game, Uno. But we changed it to Extreme Chilean Uno. We play with 33 cards and mirrors. Additionaly, we play stacks where the total number of cards you pick up can be increased if the next player has a +(x) number of cards card. Very fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I saw the lunar eclipse! It was red and muy linda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;En el principio de la semana de Deciembre 20, yo no sentí bien, pero fue porque yo estaba deshidratada. Yo tomé mucho más bebida como agua y jugo, y me sentí mucho mejor. La clima es muy seca, hace calor, y comimos mucha comida con sal y con ejercicios... Eso es un problema si no das de cuenta.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the begining of the week of December 20th, I didn't feel well, but it was because I was dehydrated. I drank a lot more water and juice and I felt much better. THe climate is very dry, hot, and we eat food with a lot of salt + excersize... that is a problem if you don't realize it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Empezó a ver "Quien quiere ser un millonario?" y ellos juegan un poquito differente. Primer hay un otro recurso, un cambio de pregunta. Pero lo más grande es que ellos juegan por alguien que necesita el dinero. Algunos veces es alguien invalido o una organización. Entonces, es una persona famosa que juega con alguien representivo (la persona o representivo de la organización que necesita la plata) juengan juntos. Como el programa Teleton, es para una buena causa.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I started to watch "WHo wants to be a millionare?" (the spanish version) and they play a little bit different. First, there is another life line, a change of question. But the most grand is that they play for someone who needs money. Sometimes the person has a handicap or it is for an organization. THen , it is a famous person that plays with some representative (the person or representative of the organization tha tneeds the money) they play together. Like the program Teleton, it is for a good cause.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El 22 de Deciembre, terminé mi libro que cuento los sucesos en. Ahora, estoy en mi segundo libro =]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cargué muchas canciones en español y estoy emocionante a eschucharlas!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El 23 de Deciembre, la Maka, el Alberto, y yo fuimos al mol y vimos Narnia 3. La pelicula es muy buena!. Terminamos comprando cualquier cosa que necesitamos para Navidad y regresamos a la casa. En el cine, cuando compramos las palomitas, estuve buscando para mantaquilla. Pero me olvidé que palomitas acá son hecho con caramel.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;December 22nd, I finished my book that I tell my events in...like a journal. Now, I am in my second book! =]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got a lot spanish songs in my itunes library and I am excited to listen to them all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;December 23rd, the Maka, ALberto and I went to the mall and saw Narnia 3. The movie is really good! We finished buying which ever things we needed for Chirstmas and returned to the house. In the movie theatre, when we bought popcorn, I was looking for butter. But I forgot that popcorn here is made with caramel and not butter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Para Navidad, había un arbol artificial y pequeño. Comimos muy tarde, como a las once, y abrimos los regalos a las 2 de la mañana. Reciví chalas muy lindas, ropa, y una bolsa para la playa.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Christmas, there was an artifictial, small tree. We ate really late, like at 11, and we opened gifts at 2 in hte morning. I recived sandals lindas, clothing, and a beach bag. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TSD0Yc1vF1I/AAAAAAAAAJM/g_tua48y7JM/s1600/IMG_4979.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TSD0Yc1vF1I/AAAAAAAAAJM/g_tua48y7JM/s200/IMG_4979.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557710641070806866" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TSD0X0fV1aI/AAAAAAAAAJE/fVlqOd7IPRI/s1600/IMG_4975.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TSD0X0fV1aI/AAAAAAAAAJE/fVlqOd7IPRI/s200/IMG_4975.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557710630239458722" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cuando estuvimos comiendo, la Maka respondió con "claro pue"y todo rieron. Tomó yo un poquito del tiempo para entender pero entonces me recordé de cuando yo estuve hablando con la Cecilia, quien es de Peru. Allá ellos dicen "ya pue" o "claro pue" donde acá dicen "ya po" o "claro po".&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we were eating, Maka responded with "claro pue" and everyone laughed. It took me a little time to understand but then I remembered when I was talking with Celilia, who is from Peru. There they say "ya pue" o "claro pue" where they say here "ya po" o "claro po". It's kinda like if someone where to say a word or speak in an accent from a different region, for example sometimes when I say "y'all" haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El martes, fui a un reúnion de Rotary para celebrar Navidad. Había mucha gente. Conocí una pareja muy especial. Son casados por más de 60 años. El señor era en el Comité Olímpico Nacional para los Olímpicos de Atlanta y Barcelona y parte de Rotary en Chile desde despues de 2 meses del principio. Increíble! Salimos un poquito temprano para buscar para la Maka y su amiga y antes de saliendo, dijemos adios a cada persona. Hubo más de 30 personas! Todo con un beso. Pero hay nada más cómodo o agradable cuando todo refieron a mi con hijita. =]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On tuesday, I went to a Rotary meeting to celebrate Christmas. THere were a lot of peole. I met a very special couple. There are married for more than 60 years. The husband was on the Chilean Olympic National Commitee for the Olympics in Atlanta and Barcelona and part of Chilean Rotary since 2 months after is started (in Chile). Incredible! We left a little early to pick up the Maka and her friend and before leaving we said goodbye to each person. There was more than 30 people! Everyone with a kiss. But there is nothing more comforting and nice than when people say "bye my hijita" (daughter, little girl). =]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TSD1cOTTgqI/AAAAAAAAAJc/eiAjp3_aUkU/s1600/IMG_4982.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TSD1cOTTgqI/AAAAAAAAAJc/eiAjp3_aUkU/s200/IMG_4982.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557711805399401122" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TSD1bs8WapI/AAAAAAAAAJU/DwhhdzR-WKI/s1600/IMG_4985.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 152px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TSD1bs8WapI/AAAAAAAAAJU/DwhhdzR-WKI/s200/IMG_4985.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557711796444752530" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Felicidades a Amy, una amiga de escuela. Ella va a ir a Ecuador el próximo año con Rotary! Qué emocionante!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Congrats to Amy, my friend from school. She is going to go to Ecuador next year with Rotary! How exciting!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El 31 de Deciembre, salí temprano con la Maka y el Carlos para enscribir la Maka en la Universidad de los Andes. La universidad es muy linda. Ella va a estudiar psicología. Conocimos una mujer y cuando la Maka dijo que estoy una estudiante del intercambio, la mujer dije, oh para estudios postgrados jajajaja aparentamente puedo pasar por más de 23 o 24 años jaja&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;December 31, I left early with the Maka an dCarlos to enroll Maka in the University of Los Andes. The university is muy linda (and looks like a normal university haha). She is going to study psycology. We met a woman and when Maka said that I am an exchange student, the woman said, oh for postgraduate studies hahaha aparently I can pass for more than 23 or 24 years haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Junté con una intercambista en el Parque Arauco y vimos Enredado. Muy buena pelicula tambien. Comimos en TGIFridays como gringas y volvemos a nuestros casas por micro y metro. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I met with another exchange student at Parque Arauco and we saw Tangles. Very good movie as well. We ate in TGIFridays like gringas, and returned to our house by micro (bus system) and the metro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2011!!!!&lt;br /&gt;Acá estamos. Qué loco!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here we are. Crazy!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Familia vino para celebrar el año nuevo y contamos los ultimos segundos con el radio. Despues bailamos. Qué divertido. =]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pues, este mes voy a estar en Santiago/mi casa por un total de 5 días. Voy a ir para misiones en Quirehue con mi escuela y las otras escuelas Diaconos el 4 hasta el 11. Y el 13 la familia y yo salimos a ir a Iquique en el norte de Chile hasta el 30 de enero. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feliz año nuevo!&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Family came to celebrate the new year and we counted the last seconds with the radio. After, we danced. Fun! =]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, this month I am going to be in Santiago/my house for a total of 5 days.

I can't believe we are in December. Time is flying. 4 months complete!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My cousin here had her birthday 3 sundays ago. This birthday was very important because it is her 15th. (It's like our version of sweet 16). The family ate together with us and sang happy birthday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems that music class here has 2 aspects. 1) A little bit of material, like this time was artists of the rock, jazz, and barroc period. 2) The other is like a "jam session" where there are one or two people playing guitar, one on the drum  set, and the others sing songs from a book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the start the the semana, there was a lot of wind. (2 weeks ago) We lost lights for a few seconds. The nights are chilly and the days, hot. But it isn't humid! =]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Tuesday I went to a Rotary Meeting. My first time... finally!! It was like the meeting of my club in the US. They also sang a son. Each of the two students and I spoke of  our experiences and we all ate dinner. It finished very late and we arrived at the house at 12am, midnight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On wednesday, we had a meeting about going to Quirhue in January. It is a missions trip and I am very excited to go. It was greatly affect by the earthquake and there, we are going to help and speak to the people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additionally, on Wednesday, I took the Lenguaje final. It was interesting...haha. It was a multiple choice test. Here, I always do better with tests that have essays because I can write and defend my thesis. But, I recieved an 82% (about). I answered 17 correct of 40, but becuase I don't understand everything yet, it was multiplied by 2 and then I got 34 correct. Thanks professor =]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ALl day Thursday we did nothing. All the classes with the exception of math had finished. We played cards, watched movies and talked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On friday (03 of December) I got an 84% on my math final with only 4 wrong. That finsihed this year in school for me. Summmerrrrrr =]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Grades:&lt;br /&gt;Music: 100%&lt;br /&gt;Biology: 99%&lt;br /&gt;English: 99% (becuase of a Scarlett Letter quiz =P)&lt;br /&gt;Biology Elective: 95%&lt;br /&gt;Math: 92%&lt;br /&gt;Philosophy: 90%&lt;br /&gt;Chem: 82%&lt;br /&gt;Spanish LA: 81%&lt;br /&gt;History: 60%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Averagy: 89% =]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Saturday, the 4th of December, I saw Harry Potter. Finally! =] It was completly Spanish but I understood almost everything. I didn't like the absence of some details in parts but they stopped the movie in a good spot. Overall, I really liked it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday: We left for the South at 6:30am from the airport. We arrived later and took a bus to a view point of Punta Arenas. The wind there goes from the Pacific to the Atlantic and the average of the wind speed is 30-50 mph. Because of the wind, we had a sketchy landing on the plane but all went well. We visited a famous statue of Magellans. On SUndays, they have a flag parade. We saw the last part. The same day we went to see the penguins. I don't know what it is, maybe it's how they walk but they are special =] That night we explored Punta Arenas on foot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was really cold!!! every day (and it's summer here)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQVjmZdMnzI/AAAAAAAAAGA/o-FwZK28weo/s1600/IMG_4120.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQVjmZdMnzI/AAAAAAAAAGA/o-FwZK28weo/s320/IMG_4120.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549951627123531570" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQVjl2v4qdI/AAAAAAAAAF4/JixvZ08VEzY/s1600/IMG_4068.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQVjl2v4qdI/AAAAAAAAAF4/JixvZ08VEzY/s320/IMG_4068.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549951617806674386" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQVjlixPQ2I/AAAAAAAAAFw/3N8sj5M5mZ4/s1600/IMG_4067.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQVjlixPQ2I/AAAAAAAAAFw/3N8sj5M5mZ4/s320/IMG_4067.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549951612443640674" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQVjlElTQoI/AAAAAAAAAFo/MDBcmSa82_w/s1600/IMG_4062.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQVjlElTQoI/AAAAAAAAAFo/MDBcmSa82_w/s320/IMG_4062.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549951604340507266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monday:&lt;br /&gt;Breakfast this day was very good. It was like breakfast in the US with scambled eggs and bacon. It was delicious. First stop was Fuerte Bulnes and we also saw where the Spanish landed. We drove to Puerto Natales. During this, at one point, we were 3 km from Argentina. A friend and I wanted to visit for one moment to put a foot in Argentina but no. We continued to Puerto Natales and the Fijord of Last Hope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZq2aEMxXI/AAAAAAAAAGg/PllUlngIsyY/s1600/IMG_4214.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 113px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZq2aEMxXI/AAAAAAAAAGg/PllUlngIsyY/s200/IMG_4214.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550241073723131250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZq1upOqmI/AAAAAAAAAGY/uIGWCf0d2Yg/s1600/IMG_4273.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZq1upOqmI/AAAAAAAAAGY/uIGWCf0d2Yg/s200/IMG_4273.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550241062067284578" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZq1KCb18I/AAAAAAAAAGQ/P7Rw3yc1PPk/s1600/IMG_4217.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZq1KCb18I/AAAAAAAAAGQ/P7Rw3yc1PPk/s200/IMG_4217.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550241052240893890" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZq0zywokI/AAAAAAAAAGI/h2moqRWNi6s/s1600/IMG_4219.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZq0zywokI/AAAAAAAAAGI/h2moqRWNi6s/s200/IMG_4219.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550241046269567554" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZwa-lX7MI/AAAAAAAAAHA/KM9lqlqCLn4/s1600/IMG_4384.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZwa-lX7MI/AAAAAAAAAHA/KM9lqlqCLn4/s200/IMG_4384.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550247199559380162" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday:&lt;br /&gt;We went to "La Cueva del Milodon." Many many years ago there was an animal that was a mix of horse and bear, the Milodon. And this the place where it lived. We then passed through more scenery till Torres del Paine. The hotel was awesome as was the view. We had a lovely hotel and each had a double sized bed for ourselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZwabdOjRI/AAAAAAAAAG4/tZBKvVf8cIU/s1600/IMG_4419.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZwabdOjRI/AAAAAAAAAG4/tZBKvVf8cIU/s200/IMG_4419.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550247190129970450" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZwaPY6vGI/AAAAAAAAAGw/6dN_zulgpKc/s1600/IMG_4349.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZwaPY6vGI/AAAAAAAAAGw/6dN_zulgpKc/s200/IMG_4349.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550247186890669154" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZwZ5hfKLI/AAAAAAAAAGo/HZbuEvW78Cg/s1600/IMG_4346.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZwZ5hfKLI/AAAAAAAAAGo/HZbuEvW78Cg/s200/IMG_4346.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550247181021030578" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday:&lt;br /&gt;First, we left for a hike called Mirador Condor. We climbed walking and in some parts it was very steep. But we arrived to an incredible view with a LOT of wind. After lunch, we went to Grey Lake to go on a ship to see Glacier Grey. It was very blue. We crossed a brigde on the way to the boat that had a capacity of only 6 people at once. How scary haha more coldness...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ2CEuxiNI/AAAAAAAAAHg/j4uuaFivsTE/s1600/IMG_4580.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 196px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ2CEuxiNI/AAAAAAAAAHg/j4uuaFivsTE/s200/IMG_4580.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550253368782457042" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ2Bk_FubI/AAAAAAAAAHY/ziNtBFBilb8/s1600/IMG_4617.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ2Bk_FubI/AAAAAAAAAHY/ziNtBFBilb8/s200/IMG_4617.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550253360260954546" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ2BVWKmCI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/ai4lHWBV-4o/s1600/IMG_4559.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ2BVWKmCI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/ai4lHWBV-4o/s200/IMG_4559.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550253356062775330" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ2A9Na7yI/AAAAAAAAAHI/E8zd0xR35qc/s1600/IMG_4530.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ2A9Na7yI/AAAAAAAAAHI/E8zd0xR35qc/s200/IMG_4530.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550253349583646498" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thursday:&lt;br /&gt;I got up to see the mountians with fresh snow. How prettyyy! We rode horseback in 3 groups of 11. When it was flat, we ran super fast! THe fastest the horse could go. It was so much fun! My horse named Pajarito (aka Little bird) was very good. We returned to Puerto Natales in the afternoon. It was light untill 11 pm! Very late.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ31ng3_MI/AAAAAAAAAH4/Q3iMeTTW3_8/s1600/IMG_4706.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 122px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ31ng3_MI/AAAAAAAAAH4/Q3iMeTTW3_8/s200/IMG_4706.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550255353804356802" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ31fFE8vI/AAAAAAAAAHw/gLr_7hxEyvg/s1600/IMG_4694.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ31fFE8vI/AAAAAAAAAHw/gLr_7hxEyvg/s200/IMG_4694.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550255351540282098" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ307Y4wsI/AAAAAAAAAHo/9yIi552v4ZE/s1600/IMG_4441.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ307Y4wsI/AAAAAAAAAHo/9yIi552v4ZE/s200/IMG_4441.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550255341959692994" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday:&lt;br /&gt;We left for a trip on a boat for the day. THe boat left from Puerto Natales and we went to see diffent places and things. This included waterfalls, glaciers, condors (type of bird), sea lions,and beautiful mountains. We had a good time. After we returned to the airport for our flight at 11:30pm and we arrived in Santiago at 2:30am Saturday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ7sET2oXI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/ynr9Fu2tTpI/s1600/IMG_4804.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ7sET2oXI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/ynr9Fu2tTpI/s200/IMG_4804.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550259587782189426" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ7r1uqRJI/AAAAAAAAAII/HjGduk3rw1o/s1600/IMG_4772.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 136px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ7r1uqRJI/AAAAAAAAAII/HjGduk3rw1o/s200/IMG_4772.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550259583868093586" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ7ri9gO_I/AAAAAAAAAIA/mtqleZXgIkU/s1600/IMG_4814.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ7ri9gO_I/AAAAAAAAAIA/mtqleZXgIkU/s200/IMG_4814.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550259578830076914" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This trip was absolutly incredible and awesome. I was able to get to know the exchange students better and I also saw more of the world. =D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, Sunday, we went to a very special District Rotary meeting. The counselors obtained photos of us and our family in the home place and made posters. We also recieved letters from our family. It was very special and this is with the theme of the month of the family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have learned a lot here but one big thing for me is that I have gained a lot more confidence in myself. I have learned things about respect. And in respect to respect (haha) that you don't need to do everything that others are doing to be accepted and have friends. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Be yourself, adapt to the culture but always have the same or better values.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More photos of the trip: &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=190847&amp;id=1388515239&amp;l=56f2875d0e"&gt;Part 1&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=190863&amp;id=1388515239&amp;l=34911e9111"&gt; Part 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1238178773336952220-1128437760149709569?l=lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/feeds/1128437760149709569/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-south-trip.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/1128437760149709569'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/1128437760149709569'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-south-trip.html' title='December/ South Trip'/><author><name>Hannah Hayduk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12974931478418933452</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQVjmZdMnzI/AAAAAAAAAGA/o-FwZK28weo/s72-c/IMG_4120.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238178773336952220.post-576048897113445872</id><published>2010-12-13T14:27:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-13T15:43:57.420-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Ahhhhh!

Time is flying. 4 months complete!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mi prima acá tuve su cumpleaños el domingo. Este cumpleaños es muy importante porque es su quinceañera. La familia comó juntos y cantó Feliz Cumpleaños.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parece que la clase de musica acá tiened dos aspectos. 1) Un poquito de material, como esta vez fue artistas del rock, jazz, y barroco. 2) El otro es como un "jam session" dónde hay una o dos personas jugando guitarra, un en batería, y los otros cantan canciones que son en un libro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En el principio de la semana había mucho viento. Perdimos las luces por pocos segundos. Las noches son fresco y las días calor. Pero no es húmido! =]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El martes fui a un reúnion de Rotary. Mi primera vez...por fín!! Fue como el reúnion de los EEUU en mi club. Tambien, ellos cantan una canción. Cada de los dos estudiantes y yo hablamos un poquito de las experiencias y comimos una cena. Terminó muy tarde y llegue a la casa a las doce de la noche.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El miercoles tuvimos un reúnion para ir a Quirehue en enero. Es un viaje de los misiones y estoy muy emocionante a ir. Fue muy afectado por el terremoto y allá vamos a ayudar y hablar con la gente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ádemas el miercoles tomé el global de lenguaje. Fue interestante...haha Fue una examen de elección múltiple. Siempre estoy mejor con examenes con ensayos porque puedo escribir y defender mi tesis. Pero, saque un 5.9. Contesté 17 corecto pero porque no entiendo todo todavía no, fue multiplicado por 2 y entonces saque un 34. Gracias profe =]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todo el día jueves hicimos nada. Todos las clases con la excepción de matematicas habían terminado. Jugamos cartas, vemos películas, y hablamos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El viernes (03 de Deciembre) saque un 6.0 en mi global de matmatica con solamente 4 incorrecto. Eso terminó es año del colegio para mí.

No me gusta la falta de detales en algunos partes pero se paró la película en una buena posición.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Domingo:&lt;br /&gt;Salimos para Patagonia a las 6:30 de la mañana del aeropuerto. Llegamos luego y tomamos un bus a una punta de vista en Punta Arenas. El viento allá va desde el Pacifico al Atlantico y el promedio del viento es entre 60-80km/hora. Porque del viento, el avión cuando llegamos nos hace un poquito miedo pero todo fue bien. Visitamos una estatua famosa que es de Magellans. Los domingos, se tiene un defile de la bandera. Vimos la última parte. Lo mismo día fuimos a ver los pingüinos. No sé que es, quizas es cómo ellos caminan pero son especial =] Esa noche, caminamos en Punta Arenas para explorar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HACÍA MUCHO FRIÓ!!!! todos los días&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQVjmZdMnzI/AAAAAAAAAGA/o-FwZK28weo/s1600/IMG_4120.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQVjmZdMnzI/AAAAAAAAAGA/o-FwZK28weo/s320/IMG_4120.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549951627123531570" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQVjl2v4qdI/AAAAAAAAAF4/JixvZ08VEzY/s1600/IMG_4068.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQVjl2v4qdI/AAAAAAAAAF4/JixvZ08VEzY/s320/IMG_4068.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549951617806674386" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQVjlixPQ2I/AAAAAAAAAFw/3N8sj5M5mZ4/s1600/IMG_4067.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQVjlixPQ2I/AAAAAAAAAFw/3N8sj5M5mZ4/s320/IMG_4067.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549951612443640674" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQVjlElTQoI/AAAAAAAAAFo/MDBcmSa82_w/s1600/IMG_4062.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQVjlElTQoI/AAAAAAAAAFo/MDBcmSa82_w/s320/IMG_4062.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549951604340507266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lunes:&lt;br /&gt;Desayuno este día fue muy bueno. Quizas porque fue como desayuno en los EEUU. Con huevos revueltos y tocino, fue delicioso. Primer parada fue Fuerte Bulnes y tambien vimos dónde los españoles vinieron. Manajamos a Puerto Natales. Durante este paseo, en un punto, fuimos 3km de Argentina. Una amiga y yo queríamos que visitamos por un momento para poner un pie en Argentina, pero no. Siguemos a Puerto Natales y el Fijord de La Ultima Esperanza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZq2aEMxXI/AAAAAAAAAGg/PllUlngIsyY/s1600/IMG_4214.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 113px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZq2aEMxXI/AAAAAAAAAGg/PllUlngIsyY/s200/IMG_4214.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550241073723131250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZq1upOqmI/AAAAAAAAAGY/uIGWCf0d2Yg/s1600/IMG_4273.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZq1upOqmI/AAAAAAAAAGY/uIGWCf0d2Yg/s200/IMG_4273.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550241062067284578" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZq1KCb18I/AAAAAAAAAGQ/P7Rw3yc1PPk/s1600/IMG_4217.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZq1KCb18I/AAAAAAAAAGQ/P7Rw3yc1PPk/s200/IMG_4217.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550241052240893890" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZq0zywokI/AAAAAAAAAGI/h2moqRWNi6s/s1600/IMG_4219.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZq0zywokI/AAAAAAAAAGI/h2moqRWNi6s/s200/IMG_4219.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550241046269567554" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZwa-lX7MI/AAAAAAAAAHA/KM9lqlqCLn4/s1600/IMG_4384.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZwa-lX7MI/AAAAAAAAAHA/KM9lqlqCLn4/s200/IMG_4384.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550247199559380162" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuimos a "La Cueva del Milodon." Muchos muchos años a trás había un animal que fue un mezcla de cabello y oso, el Milodon. Y este el lugar donde vivía. Pasamos por más tierra a Torres del Paine. El hotel fue bacán! y tuvimos una cama para dos por cada persona. Muy cómodo. Tambien la vista del ventana fue increible!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZwabdOjRI/AAAAAAAAAG4/tZBKvVf8cIU/s1600/IMG_4419.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZwabdOjRI/AAAAAAAAAG4/tZBKvVf8cIU/s200/IMG_4419.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550247190129970450" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZwaPY6vGI/AAAAAAAAAGw/6dN_zulgpKc/s1600/IMG_4349.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZwaPY6vGI/AAAAAAAAAGw/6dN_zulgpKc/s200/IMG_4349.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550247186890669154" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZwZ5hfKLI/AAAAAAAAAGo/HZbuEvW78Cg/s1600/IMG_4346.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZwZ5hfKLI/AAAAAAAAAGo/HZbuEvW78Cg/s200/IMG_4346.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550247181021030578" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miercoles:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Primer, salimos para un paseo que se llama Mirador Condor. Subimos caminando y en algunos partes fueron muy incumbradsa. Pero llegamos a una vista increible con mucho mucho mucho mucho viento. Despues del almuerzo, fuimos a lago grey para ir en un barco a ver glaciar Grey. Estaba muy azul. Cruzamos un puente colgado que tenía la capacidad de 6 personas. Que miedo jaja Más frío...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ2CEuxiNI/AAAAAAAAAHg/j4uuaFivsTE/s1600/IMG_4580.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 196px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ2CEuxiNI/AAAAAAAAAHg/j4uuaFivsTE/s200/IMG_4580.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550253368782457042" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ2Bk_FubI/AAAAAAAAAHY/ziNtBFBilb8/s1600/IMG_4617.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ2Bk_FubI/AAAAAAAAAHY/ziNtBFBilb8/s200/IMG_4617.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550253360260954546" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ2BVWKmCI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/ai4lHWBV-4o/s1600/IMG_4559.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ2BVWKmCI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/ai4lHWBV-4o/s200/IMG_4559.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550253356062775330" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ2A9Na7yI/AAAAAAAAAHI/E8zd0xR35qc/s1600/IMG_4530.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ2A9Na7yI/AAAAAAAAAHI/E8zd0xR35qc/s200/IMG_4530.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550253349583646498" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jueves:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Levanté a ver las montañas con nieve fresca. Qué lindaaaas! Andamos por cabello en 3 grupos de 11. Cuando fue plano, corremos tan rápido! Lo más rápido que podría ir. Estaba muy divertido! Mi cabello se llama Pajarito y estuvo muy bueno. Volvemos a Punto Natales para la tarde. Había luz hasta 11 de la noche! Muy tarde.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ31ng3_MI/AAAAAAAAAH4/Q3iMeTTW3_8/s1600/IMG_4706.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 122px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ31ng3_MI/AAAAAAAAAH4/Q3iMeTTW3_8/s200/IMG_4706.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550255353804356802" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ31fFE8vI/AAAAAAAAAHw/gLr_7hxEyvg/s1600/IMG_4694.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ31fFE8vI/AAAAAAAAAHw/gLr_7hxEyvg/s200/IMG_4694.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550255351540282098" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ307Y4wsI/AAAAAAAAAHo/9yIi552v4ZE/s1600/IMG_4441.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ307Y4wsI/AAAAAAAAAHo/9yIi552v4ZE/s200/IMG_4441.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550255341959692994" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Viernes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salimos para un paseo en barco para el día. El barco salió desde Puerto Natales y fuimos a ver diferente cosas y lugares. Estos incluyen caídas de agua, glaciares, condores, lobos marinos, y montañas bonitas. Tuvimos un buen tiempo. Despues, volvemos al aeropuerto para nuestro vuelo a las 11:30 y llegamos en Santiago a las 2:30 de la mañana de sabado. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ7sET2oXI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/ynr9Fu2tTpI/s1600/IMG_4804.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ7sET2oXI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/ynr9Fu2tTpI/s200/IMG_4804.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550259587782189426" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ7r1uqRJI/AAAAAAAAAII/HjGduk3rw1o/s1600/IMG_4772.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 136px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ7r1uqRJI/AAAAAAAAAII/HjGduk3rw1o/s200/IMG_4772.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550259583868093586" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ7ri9gO_I/AAAAAAAAAIA/mtqleZXgIkU/s1600/IMG_4814.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQZ7ri9gO_I/AAAAAAAAAIA/mtqleZXgIkU/s200/IMG_4814.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550259578830076914" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este viaje fue absolutamente bacán y increíble. Podría conocer los intercambistos más y tambien vi más del mundo. =D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoy, domingo, tuvimos un reúnion de Rotary muy especial. Los consejeros obtuvieron fotos de la familia del su país y hicieron carteles. Tambien recivimos cartas de nuestro familia. Fue muy especial y es con el tema del mes de la familia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He apredido de mucho acá pero una cosa muy grande para mí es que yo he ganado mucho más confianza en mí. He apredido de respecto. Y con respecto a respecto (jaja) que no necestias a hacer todo que otros hacen para estar aceptado y tener amigos. Seas tú mismo y adaptar a otra cultura pero siempre tener lo mísmo valores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Más fotos de mi viaje: &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=190847&amp;id=1388515239&amp;l=56f2875d0e"&gt;Part 1&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=190863&amp;id=1388515239&amp;l=34911e9111"&gt; Part 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1238178773336952220-576048897113445872?l=lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/feeds/576048897113445872/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2010/12/ahhhhh-no-puedo-creer-que-estamos-en.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/576048897113445872'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/576048897113445872'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2010/12/ahhhhh-no-puedo-creer-que-estamos-en.html' title=''/><author><name>Hannah Hayduk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12974931478418933452</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TQVjmZdMnzI/AAAAAAAAAGA/o-FwZK28weo/s72-c/IMG_4120.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238178773336952220.post-2413327238745317585</id><published>2010-11-27T12:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-27T15:11:43.181-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;He empezado tenís y me lo encanta mucho! Es dos veces cada semana y despues de solamente 3 clases, soy mucho mejor que antes. Mi "frase" es "más largo". Eso, usualmente, es que necesito hacer con mi golpe.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have started tennis and I love it a lot! It is two times a week and after only 3 classes, I am much better than before. My "moto" is "longer/more length". That, usually, is what I need to improve on my hit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El jueves (el 18 de Noviembre), en el regreso a la casa por bus, hubo un chico que tiene 8 años aproximademente.  Él dijo que tiene Club Penguin y dije que mi hermano menor tambien tiene un. Por su puesto, la proxima pregunta fue, "De dónde eres?" y yo dije, "EEUU". Entonces él dijo, "Facebook (con una poquita diferente pronunción), Facebook. Messanger, Messanger. Ves? Íngles es facíl" jajaja Hizo mi día.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Thursday (the 18th of November), in the return to the house by bus, there was a boy aboyt 8 years old. He said that he has Club Penguin and I said that my little brother also has one. Of course, the next question was, "Where are you from?" and I replied, "US". Then he said, "Facebook (with a slightly different pronunciation), Facebook. Messanger, Messanger. You see? English is easy" hahaha It made my day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El proximo día no fue tan cómico. El perro, Rambo, se murió. Muy triste. Te amamos Rambo!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then next day wasn't so funny. The dog, Rambo, died. Very sad. We love you Rambo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lo mismo día, reciví correo de mi tía y tuvo lápices con mi nombre. =] Este fue muy bien tiempo, porque el día siguente, nos cambiamos casas. Ahora, estoy con lo mismo familia pero estamos en otra casa. Este es mucho más cerca del micro y escuela. Esta semana pasada caminaba a escuela todos los días. Toma 20 minutos, si camino rápido. Pues, todo el sabado cambiamos cosas de una casa a la otra. Mi primera experiencia mudiendo. Parece que hay tres partes de poniendo cosas en cajas para moder. 1) Todo, muy organizado. 2) Todo, no organizado. 3) Mucho a la basura, un poco en cajas, no organizado. jaja El domingo, entonces, fue un día para descansar. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The same day, I recieved mail from my aunt that had pencils with my name on them. =] This was good timing since the following day, we moved. Now, I am with the same family be we are in another house. It is a lot closer to the "micro" (bus system) and school. This past week I walked to school every day. It takes 20 minutes, if I walk fast. Well, all Saturday we moved things from one house to the other. My first moving experince. It seems there are three stages of putting things into boxes to move. 1) Everything, very organized. 2) Everything, disorganized. 3) A lot to the trash, a little in boxes, disorganized. haha Sunday, then, was a day to rest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El lunes, tuvimos una prueba en educación física de corriendo y otras cosas. Para la parte de corriendo, corrimos de un lado a la gimnasia a la otra. No tan difícil, claro? Pues, es difícil cuando cada vez necesita a ser más y más rápido...por 7 minutos. Casi me morí jaja Pero saque un 7. =]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Monday, I had a fittness test in gym of running and other things. For the running part, we ran from one side of the gym to the other. No so hard, right? Well its difficult when each time needs to be faster and faster...for 7 minutes. I almost died haha But, I got a 100.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;En la clase de íngles, estamos viendo "Invictus". Es una película buenísimo! Debría verla si todavia no la ha visto.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In English class, we are watching "Invictus." It is a great movie! You should watch it if you haven't already seen it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El viernes fue el ceremonio de graduación de la Maka. Fue muy lindo. Recivieron sus diplomas desde la directora y una cruza desde el profe jefe. Una banda pequeña del septimo y octavo básico tocó "Don't stop beliving". Tambien, hubo una presentación de fotos y videos. Terminó con el profe jefe leyendo la lista de la clase por el último vez y cuando el nombre de cada persona fue llamado, ellos ----blew out thier candle----. Muy especial. Felicidades clase de 2010 de San Nicolas. Uds. lo hicieron. =D&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday was the graduation ceremony for Maka. It was very nice. They recieved thier diplomas from the director and a cross from the head (homeroom) teacher. A small band of 7th and 8th graders played "Don't Stop Beliving". Additionally, there was a photo (and video) presentation. It finished with the head teacher reading the class list of names for the last time, and when the name of each person was called, they stood up and blew out thier candle. Very special. Congratulations San Nicolas Class of 2010. You did it! =D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cosas para recordar:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diciendo "k" (en íngles es como "claro") no es bueno para decir claro porque el sonado es como "qué", la pregunta. Si dices "k", la cosa dicha va a ser repitido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;cereza --&gt; cherry&lt;br /&gt;cer&lt;em&gt;v&lt;/em&gt;eza --&gt; beer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;jaja&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things to remember:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saying "k" is not viable for "claro" becuase it sounds like "qué", the question: what. If you say "k",, the said thing will be repeated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;cereza--&gt;cherry&lt;br /&gt;cer&lt;em&gt;v&lt;/em&gt;eza --&gt; beer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Finalmente, fui pensando de una cosa despues de hablando con una amiga. Ahora, parece muy raro para pensar de volviendo a los EEUU y vivir en una ambiental íngles. Estoy expectando a oír español. (No es difícil o raro para hablar en íngles para una conversación, pero vivir en íngles parece un poquito raro.) Comó cambia.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, I was thinging of something after speaking with a friend. Now, it seems very wierd to thing of returning to the US and living in an English environment. I am expecting to hear Spanish. (It is not hard or wierd to have an English conversation, but living in English does seem a little wierd.) How it changes.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1238178773336952220-2413327238745317585?l=lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/feeds/2413327238745317585/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2010/11/he-empezado-tenis-y-me-lo-encanta-mucho.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/2413327238745317585'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/2413327238745317585'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2010/11/he-empezado-tenis-y-me-lo-encanta-mucho.html' title=''/><author><name>Hannah Hayduk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12974931478418933452</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238178773336952220.post-4181448224467539224</id><published>2010-11-14T07:54:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-14T14:51:31.098-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;-Hay algunos días cuándo está nublado y no puede ver las montañas. Es raro porque yo sé que son allá pero mira como no hay.&lt;br /&gt;-Alguna cosa que es confundiendo: AC= Antes Cristo pero en ingles, AC = after (depues) Chirst. Entonces DC= despues de Cristo. En ingles, BC = before (antes) Christ.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-There are some days when it is cloudy and you can't see the mountains. It's wierd because I know that they are there but it definately looks like they aren't.&lt;br /&gt;-Something that is confusion: AC= Antes Cristo (before Christ) but in english, AC= after Christ). Then DC = Despues (After) Christ. In english,BC = before Christ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-En este momento, pienso que va a ser raro para tener Navidad sin tiempo frío, teniendo frío. Muy diferent.&lt;br /&gt;- Hay un programa de los EEUU que se llama Numb3rs que me gusta y es en español. La mayor parte de los programas que no son novelas, Disney, o documentales son en ingles con subtitulos de español.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-In this moment, I think that is is going to be wierd to have Christmas without cold weather, being cold. Very different.&lt;br /&gt;-There is a program from the US called Numb3rs that I like and is in Spanish. The better part of programs that aren't soap operas, Disney, or documentaries are in english with Spanish subtitles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El viaje a Talca&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The trip to Talca&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El viernes, el 6 de Noviembre,  no fui a escuela porque el bus salió de Santiago a las 12:30 pm.  Reuní con un otro estudiante del intercambio de Nueva Zealandia y su hermano. Con suerte tuvimos lo primer tres sillas y ellos me ayudaron a entender algunas palabras y frases. Tuvimos mucho divertido con el "asistente" del bus, haciendo trucos con las manos. Esa noche, reunimos con los ocho otros estudiantes en la casa del Rotary Club de Talca. (Trate decir "ocho otros" rapido).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Friday, the 6th of November, I didn't go to school because the bus left Santiago at 12:30 pm. I met up with another exchange student from New Zealand and his host brother. With luck, we had the first three seats and they helped me to understand some words and phrases. We had a lot of fun with the bus "assistant", doing tricks with the hands. That night, we got together with 8 other students in a house owned by the Talca Rotary Club.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El próximo día empiezó a las 7 con desayuno. A las 8:30, fuimos listos con cabellos y todo. El primer parte fue muy bueno. Y entonces llegamos a la segunda parte. Cuando ellos dicen, montar cabellos en las montanas este es en verdad. Si miré a mi izquierda, había nada y los paseos estaban con piedra sueltas. Qué miedo!! Palabras no pueden describir mis pensamientos en eso momento. Fue LOCO. Pero llegamos, por fin y nunca demensiado pronto, a la cima dónde estaba un meseta con una vista increible y maravilloso! Comemos almuerzo allá. Nos tomó cuatro horas a subir y cuatro a bajar. Ocho horas en cabello y doce horas en total. Me dolí la espalda los días siguentes! Pero valió la pena. =D&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day started at 7 with breakfast. At 8:30, we were ready with horses and all. The first part went very well. And then we arrived at the second part. When they say, ride horses in the mountains, this is the truth. If I looked to my left, there was nothing and the pathes were with loose rocks. Scaryy! Words cannot describe my thoughts in that moment. It was CRAZY. But we arrived, finally and not at all too soon, to the top where there was a plateau with an incredible and marvalous view. We ate lunch there. It took us 4 hours to climb up and 4 hours to get back down. Eight hours on horseback and 12 hours in total. My back hurt the following days! But it was worth the pain. =D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TOAHEgec1_I/AAAAAAAAAE4/si4kXIbwDJY/s1600/IMG_3816.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TOAHEgec1_I/AAAAAAAAAE4/si4kXIbwDJY/s320/IMG_3816.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539435315684235250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TOAHD2JX07I/AAAAAAAAAEw/KMfz38QKiwE/s1600/IMG_3854.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TOAHD2JX07I/AAAAAAAAAEw/KMfz38QKiwE/s320/IMG_3854.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539435304321536946" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TOAHDuuqSSI/AAAAAAAAAEo/JWDECVg3DBQ/s1600/group.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TOAHDuuqSSI/AAAAAAAAAEo/JWDECVg3DBQ/s320/group.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539435302330452258" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TOAHDeN_0YI/AAAAAAAAAEg/CVhKTyiIPps/s1600/riding.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TOAHDeN_0YI/AAAAAAAAAEg/CVhKTyiIPps/s320/riding.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539435297898484098" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Domingo fue el último día con tiempo que estaba el opuesto de sabado. Nos levantamos a ver lluvia afuera. No montando cabellos eso día! Un de los estudiantes encontró una araña grande con mucho pelo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Que loco! Y saque una foto rápido con la araña. (No tiene veneno)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TOAJL3GrDdI/AAAAAAAAAFI/JOrRfij_Seo/s1600/IMG_3936.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 245px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TOAJL3GrDdI/AAAAAAAAAFI/JOrRfij_Seo/s320/IMG_3936.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539437641040858578" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TOAJLtXjxYI/AAAAAAAAAFA/_KYn3rIo4Hg/s1600/IMG_3931.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 310px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TOAJLtXjxYI/AAAAAAAAAFA/_KYn3rIo4Hg/s320/IMG_3931.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539437638427329922" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despues, el tiempo cambió de lluvia a nieve! Muy linda y probablemente la única nieve que voy a ver calliendo o estar en, en el tiempo que estaré aquí.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday was the last day with weather that was the opposite of Saturday. We got up to see rain outside. No riding horses that day! One of the students found a huge, hairy spider! How crazy! I took one quick photo with the spider. (It isn't poisonous) After, the weather changed  from rain to snow! Very pretty and probably the only snow that I am going to see falling or be in, in the time that I will be here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TOAJtMlwiII/AAAAAAAAAFY/LV5-Q1apfkM/s1600/IMG_3960.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TOAJtMlwiII/AAAAAAAAAFY/LV5-Q1apfkM/s320/IMG_3960.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539438213744068738" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TOAKT-EVPLI/AAAAAAAAAFg/mc7-J6g8bzY/s1600/IMG_3964.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TOAKT-EVPLI/AAAAAAAAAFg/mc7-J6g8bzY/s320/IMG_3964.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539438879860669618" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;La regresa a Santiago el domingo fue a las ocho y media con un bus con dos pisos. Fui en el segundo piso. El bus fue un tipo que se llama semicama. Estaba muy cómodo. Pienso que mucho más que el avión que vine acá en. Cada ida y vuelta fue 3 1/2 horas. Llegue a la casa muy tarde y no fui a escuela el próximo día. =] Soy floja jaja. Solamente quería a descansar.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The return to Santiago on Sunday was at 8:30pm with a bus with two floors. I was on the second floor. It was a type of bus called semicama (half bed). It was very comfortable. I think more than the plane I came here in. Each trip (to and from) was 3 1/2 hours. I arrived at the house quite late and didn't go to school the next day. =] I'm lazy haha. I only wanted to rest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;La Semana Íngles&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The English Week&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Esta semana pasada fue la semana de íngles dónde hubo diferente actividades en íngles. Martes fue una competencia de poemas, miercoles: Spelling Bee, jueves: Public Speaking, y viernes: Puppet Shows. Martes, miercoles, y jueves fui una jueza con dos otros profesores. Durante el spelling bee, fue muy difícil a discernir entre el "g" y el "d". Sin embargo, fue muy divertido y los estudiantes hicieron muy bien.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This past week was English week where there were different activities in English. Tuesday was a poetry competion, Wednesday: Spelling Bee, Thursday: public speaking, and Friday: Puppet Shows.Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday I was a judge with two other teachers. (I missed more class =]) During the spelling bee, it was very difficult to distiguish between the "g" and the "d. Anyway, it was very fun and the students did very well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Como he dicho, estando cansado viene en olas. El jueves, me acosté a las siete! Pues, me siento mucho mejor en la mañana. Necesité la energía para jugar fútbol con las mujeres de mi escuela en la copa mundial del fútbol entre las escuelas de mi "distrito" que son "hermanos". (San Nicolas...mi escuela, San Felipe, y San Esteban) Ganamos seguno lugar. No tan mál porque no practicamos nada.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like I have said, being tired comes in waves. On Thursday, I went to be at 7! Well, I felt much better in the morning. I needed energy to play soccer with the other girls in my school in the copa mundial del fútbol between the schools in my "district" that are "brothers" so to say. (San Nicolas...my school, San Felipe, and San Esteban) We got second place. Not so bad because we didn't practice at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;He escrito mi nombre en un programa para tenís que empezaré este semana. Va a estar para 2 días cada semana por una hora. No puedo esperar a ver mi progreso en un mes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hablando de progreso, anoche me di cuenta de cuánto puedo entender ahora. Es mucho más que antes y es bacán! Y no es solamente la idioma, pero tambien de yo mismo. Un viaje maravilloso!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have signed up for tennis lessons that I will start this week. It will be 2 days a week for one hour. I can't wait to see my progress in one month!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of progress, last night I realized how much I can understand now. It is a lot more than before and it's awesome!

Fue interesante con muchas personas. La competencia fue muy largo con dos o tres distancias diferentes y el primer hombre terminó en dos horas. Para la última parte, corriendo, ciclistas con numeros del lugar de los primeros tres montaron a trás de los competadores. Buena idea!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Sunday, in the morning, I went to watch my first triathlon in Piedra Roja (Red Rock). It was interesting with lots of people. The competition was very long with 2 or 3 different distances and the first man finished in two hours.

En la parte del anteabrazos, hice mal...como un 5 jaja ooops y muy bien con dedos...un 7. No puede ganar todo! Tambien recivimos las notas del PSU para lenguaje. Mi nota fue 346 que es lo mismo de 4.6. No es muy mal para lenguaje que es en español... =]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Monday, we had a "quiz"in gym in volleyball. In the the forarm part, I did bad...like a 5 (out of 7 aka like a 68) haha ooops and very good with fingers (setting)...a 7 (out of 7 aka 100). You can't win it all! We also recieved our scores from the PSU for Lenguaje (SPanish for Spanish). My grade was a 346 that is the same as 4.6 (out of 7). It's not bad for Lenguaje that's in Spanish...=]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No fui a escuela el martes porque ellos tomaron el SIMCE, un examen obligatoria para III medio en Chile. Es como un examen en la clase de español en los EEUU. Otro cuatro día semana. =] Y para hacerlo mejor, reciví un paquete de mi mama de los EEUU con Peeps (dulces de azucar yummm), mezclas para pasteles y Brownies (libre de gluten!), y partes del periodico de Kutztown con noticias de mi escuela y compañeros. Qué emocionante! Hice Brownies y es el primer postre como pastel que he comido desde llegué. Delicioso!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't go to school Tuesday because they took the SIMCE, a manditory exam for Juniors in Chile. Its like a spanish test (in the US). Another 4 day week. ='] And to make it better, I got a package from my US mom with Peeps, cake and brownie mix (free of gluten!), and articles from the newspaper in Kutztown with news of my school and classmates. How exciting! I made brownies and it is the first cake like dessert that I have eaten since I arrived. Delicious!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TMs8PHGJAHI/AAAAAAAAADw/MsWpwHSXytw/s1600/IMG_3745.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TMs8PHGJAHI/AAAAAAAAADw/MsWpwHSXytw/s320/IMG_3745.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533582797455294578" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Miercoles fue...diferente. Despues de historía y química, los alumnos de III medio fue dividido para acompañar los otros cursos más joven para dar pistas a encontrar los alumnos del IV medio. Por lo tanto, tuvimos un guerra del agua. LOCO =] IV Medio tuvo un "túnel" que alumnos (incluye yo) fuimos en... Agua, ketchup, y otras cosas (que olfean muy mal) fue tirado a nosotros. Afuera del túnel hubo globos de agua y botellas de agua que usamos para mojar todo. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday was...different. After history and chem, the juniors were divided to accompany the other younger grades to give clues to find students of the senior class. Following, we had a water war. CRAZY =] The seniors had a "tunnel" that students, including me, went in... water, ketchup, and other things (that smelled really bad) were thrown at us. Outside the tunnel, there were water balloons and bottles of water that we used to soak everyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hoy, los alumnos del III Medio fueron dados corvatas que significan que ahora, nosotros somos lo más grande estudiantes en el escuela y tenemos una responsibilidad que viene con la edad durante nuestro último año. Ademas, en una desfile con mucho emociones, despidimos a los alumnos de IV medio. En los EEUU, se dice Adios, Ciao y hay nadie que quiere quedarse. Es como, nos vamos....*corren por la puerta* jaja Pero acá es como ellos están dejando más de solamente compañeros (de todos los cursos) pero se están saliendo la familia. Hubo mucho llorando. Pienso que chilenos en todo que hacen, son un familia y tiene más reconocimiento de los lazos de amistad. Eso es mi mejor descripción, es muy difícil a describir. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, the juniors were given ties that signify that now, we are the biggest students in the school and we have a responsibility that comes with the age during our last year. Additionally, in a parade with many emotions, we said goodby to the seniors. (This was their last week in the school, minus their tests) In the US, they say See ya, Bye and there is nobody that wants to stay. It's like, we are headed off...*they run through the door* haha But here it is like they are leaving more than just classmates (of all the grades) buy they are leaving the family. There was a lot of crying. I think that Chileans in everything that they do, are a family and have more appreciation of the bonds of friendship of an "extended" family. That is my best description, it is very difficult to describe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TMs9N4GxjSI/AAAAAAAAAEA/ZAGKhxWc_X8/s1600/IMG_3768.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 220px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TMs9N4GxjSI/AAAAAAAAAEA/ZAGKhxWc_X8/s320/IMG_3768.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533583875763178786" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TMs9NQ2HJqI/AAAAAAAAAD4/c-rg0weCKBo/s1600/IMG_3764.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 161px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TMs9NQ2HJqI/AAAAAAAAAD4/c-rg0weCKBo/s320/IMG_3764.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533583865224308386" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, I love being able to see the mountians.

Fue como un Inservice Day en los EEUU. Pero, yo me gusta pensar que el 15 fue un día para celebrar mi dos meses en Chile! jaja&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Monday, October 11th, we didn't have school due to Colombus day and no school friday, October 15th  as well for "Un día de Los Profesores". It was like an Inservice Day in the US. But, I like to think that the 15th was a day to ce;ebrate my two months in Chile! haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;La semana fue más corta para mí. El martes del semana pasado, levanté a las 7:30 de la mañana como normal. Pero mi papa chileno había salido! Por qué? Actualmente fue 8:30 de la mañana porque el sabado tuvimos una cambia del tiempo un hora en el futuro! (Para la primavera, toma un poquito tiempo para dar de cuenta porque en el futuro y no en el pasado) jaja Fui a escuela tarde ese día. =]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The week was even shorter for me. On Tuesday of the past week, I got up at 7:30 am like normal. But my Chilean dad had left! Why? Actually it was 8:30 am because on Saturday we changed the clocks, 1 hour into the future! (For the spring, It took a little time to realize why in the future and not into the past) haha I went to school late that day. =]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El 13 de Octubre, un miercoles, fue el rescate de los mineros! Algunas escuelas no tuvieron escuela ese día para ver pero entonces ellos fueron a colegio el viernes.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;October 13th, a Wednesday, was the miner's rescue! Some schools didn't have school that day to watch but then they went to school on Friday. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ádemas, ese día, tuve un prueba de filosofía. Pero aparentemente, hice tan mal que ella, la profe, piensó que no supe nada jaja. La profe de íngles fue muy agradable a decir que es más un problema de la idioma. Entonces, tomé el prueba con la profe de íngles y ella tranduzó. Fue mucho mejor =]. Tambien, tengo pruebas de comprehensión más facil. Ya está un desfile, que es bueno, pero es más para mi nivel. Los ensayos, actualmente, son lo más fácil y mejor para mí porque puedo tomar todo el tiempo que necesito y uso más recursos como un transducidor del Internet que tiene más palabras. (Tengo mi dictionario, pero ocasionalmente no hay un palabra.)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additionally, that day, I had a philosofia quiz. Buy aparently, I did so bad that the profesor though I didn't know anything haha. The English teacher was very nice to say that it is more a problem of the language. Then, I took the quiz with the English teacher and she translated. It went much better. =]. Also, I had an easier comprehension quiz. It is already a challenge, which is good, but it is more for my level. The essays actually, are the easiest and better for me bevause I can take all the time that I need and I use more resourses like an Internet translator that has more words. (I have my dictionary, but occasionally there isn't a word.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;En una clase diferente, una mujer de universitario nos enseñó y tuvimos que leer un párafo del groupo. Yo leí para mi groupo para practicar. Pero hice horrible jaja. Fue muy difícil para leer las palabras que son escrito por mano pero tambien, para ellos, tengo un accento...todo fue malo jaja Aunque, hice mejor en historia cuando leí una cosa. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a different class, a women from a university taught us and we had to read a paragraph (that she gave us) for the group. I read for my group to practice. But I did horrible haha. It was very difficult to read the hand written words but also, for them, I had an accent...all was bad haha Although, I did better in history when a read a thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Este fín de semana, cuatro de mis compañeras y yo juntamos para trabajar para esta semena de cultura en escuela. Origionalmente, pensé que fue para ingles, pero no.  Dibujamos peses y otros animales del mar para el cuento que estuvimos en. Fue de una serena que salvaja su amigos del mar como yo y otra chica (fuimos peces) desde un pescador. Entonces el pescador quería casarse la serena pero ella no porque él había tratado a comer su amigos. Se llama "La Pincoya." Mi cara fue pintado azul, roja, y blanca, los abrazos tambien.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This weekend, four of my classmates and I got together to work for this week cultural week in school. Origionally, I thought it was for English, but no. We drew fish and other sea animals for the story we were in. It was of a mermaid  that saves her sea friends like me and this other girl (we were fish) from a fisherman. Then, the fisherman wants to marry the mermaid but she doesn't because he had tried to eat her friends. It's called "La Pincoya". My face was painted blue, red, and white, my arms too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TMHQdQXoKDI/AAAAAAAAACo/GtHq14v9PPE/s1600/IMG_3578.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TMHQdQXoKDI/AAAAAAAAACo/GtHq14v9PPE/s320/IMG_3578.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530931018416531506" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El lunes, conocé el profe nuevo de Pennsylvania y hablamos más hoy. Él está aquí por una programa de escuelas catolicas y fue al universitario del Notre Dame para su education. Fue muy divertido a hablar con él.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;On Monday, I met the new teacher from Pennsylvania and we talked more today. He is here through a program of Catholic schools and went to Notre Dame for his education.&lt;br /&gt;It was fun to talk with him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Quién supo que brócoli y huevos juntos pueden ser bueno? jaja&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who knew that broccoli and eggs together could be good? haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El martes, no fui a escuela porque tuve muchooo sueño. Es una cosa que viene en olas. Pero la mañana del miercoles (20 de Octubre) fue mucho mejor =]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Tuesday, I didn't go to school because I was reallyyy tired. It's a thing that comes in waves. But Wednesday morning (Oct. 20th) was much better =]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hoy fue "Jean's Day". Es un día dónde si quieres, puedes venir en ropa del calle pero entonces pagas 500 pesos. Es una idea buena para recaudar plata. Ádemas, fue el último día de la semana cultural y un grupo vino a bailar para nosotros. El baile del Isla del Pascua con los chicos fue mi favorito =P Voy a tratar a poner un video con partes juntos. Pero acá son algunos fotos.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Today was "Jean's Day." It is a day where if you want, you can come in street clothes but then you pay 500 pesos ($1 approximately) It is a great idea to raise money. Additionally, it was the lat day of the culture week and a group came to dance for us. The Easter Island Dance by the guys was muy favorite =P I am going to try and put a video with the partes together. But here are some photos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TMHmIye4DnI/AAAAAAAAADY/tIgcJ-A7YHo/s1600/IMG_3618.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TMHmIye4DnI/AAAAAAAAADY/tIgcJ-A7YHo/s320/IMG_3618.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530954856052297330" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TMHmIj_FBLI/AAAAAAAAADQ/3cNuEwrPi7A/s1600/IMG_3594.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TMHmIj_FBLI/AAAAAAAAADQ/3cNuEwrPi7A/s320/IMG_3594.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530954852160832690" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TMHmILipReI/AAAAAAAAADI/LBJdN6T2Bt4/s1600/IMG_3621.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TMHmILipReI/AAAAAAAAADI/LBJdN6T2Bt4/s320/IMG_3621.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530954845599122914" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Algunos veces, cuando me estoy sentando en la mesa o al azar, hay un sonrista en mi cara porque estoy feliz. Sí, hay días malos pero en el fín, estoy feliz que yo estoy acá. Es como, estoy comiendo una cena, preparaba por la nana...para mí, en un otro país! Qué increible!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, when I am sitting at the table or randomly, ther is a smile on my face because I'm happy. Yes, there are bad days but in the end, I am happy that I am here. It's like, I am eating a dinner, prepared by the nana...for me, in another country! How incredible!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Como dije, he estado acá por dos meses. Y este es mi evaluación. Que el primer dos meses son para la cultura,proximo,va a ser más de aprediendo vocabulario. Me siento que estoy mucho mejor con el vocabulario que yo supe (y tambien con los conjugaciones, especialmente de algunos verbos irregulares.) &lt;em&gt;Pero es tiempo para añadir más palabras a mi vocabulario y eliminar mi accento!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like I said, I have been here for two months. And this is my evaluation. That the first two months are for the culture, next, will be more of learning vocab. I feel that I am much better with the vocabulary that I know (and also with the conjugations, especially of some irregular verbs.) &lt;em&gt;But it is time to add more words to my vocabulary and eliminate my accent! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1238178773336952220-749815359499346057?l=lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/feeds/749815359499346057/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2010/10/part-1.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/749815359499346057'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/749815359499346057'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2010/10/part-1.html' title=''/><author><name>Hannah Hayduk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12974931478418933452</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TMHQdQXoKDI/AAAAAAAAACo/GtHq14v9PPE/s72-c/IMG_3578.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238178773336952220.post-8988607676280655011</id><published>2010-10-13T18:03:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-13T18:04:42.465-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Viva, Chi- Chi- Chi- Le- Le- Le, los mineros de Chile!!!!

Entonces, la semana no fue mucha divertida pero el fin de semana fue un de 3 días y me siento mucho mejor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un día diferente en el semana fue miercoles. En la mañana, los cursos III y IV medio fueron a una exhibición de universidades y carreras. Fue comico cuando fuimos a la sección de escuelas de inglés, y alguna persona preguntó a mi si yo quiero recivir información para aprender inglés ahora porque respondé en ingles que yo estoy bien con inglés. Sorpresa! jaja Pero, alla recivimos cuadernos, boligrafos y un pelotita tambien! La mejor parte jaja. Volvemos a escuela y solamente tuvimos biología.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I caught another cold this week. Thus, the week wasn't much fun but the weekend was 3 days and I feel much better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One different day in the week was Wednesday. In the morning, the junior and senior class went to a College Fair. It was funny when we went to the seccion of English schools, and some person asked me if I wanted information to recieve information to learn English now but I responded in English that I'm good with English. Suprise! haha But, there we recieved noteboks, pens, and a little ball too! The best part haha. We returned to school and only had biology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Durante jueves, tuvimos un simulacro para un terremoto. Todas las personas necesitaron ir a un de dos lugares de seguridad. Fue como un semulacro de fuego.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Teniendo clase afuera es muy linda. Cuando el tiempo está bien, muchos de los profesores promiten que estudiamos en el patio despues de los direcciónes. Es mucho mejor de un día en la salla.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During Thursday, we had a earthquake drill. Everyone needed to go to a security zone. It was like a fire drill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having class out side is so nice. When the weather is good, many of the profesors permit us to study outside on the patio/lawn after directions. It's much better than a day in the classroom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;En los EEUU, especialmente en nuestra escuela, nosotros damos por sentado que tenemos impresadores y copíadores. Acá no es tan facíl y la mayor parte del tiempo para fotocopías se necesitan a pagar plata. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sabado y domingo corrí 20 minutos y caminé 20 minutos, en total 4 km. (Voy a trabajar para hacer mejor, corriendo más y caminando menos) Me sentí bien despues. Yo había tenido más energía durante el día pero yo había tenido más sueña en la noche.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the US, especially at our school, we take for granted that we have printers and copiers. Here it is not so easy and the better part of time for fotocopías you need to pay money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday and Sunday I ran 20 minutes and walked for 20, in total 4 km. (I am going to work to do better, running more and walking less). I felt better after. I had more energy during the day but was more tired at night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sabado, en la tarde, Maka, una amiga, mi madre chilena y yo fuimos de compras! Por la primera vez (que puedo recordar en mi vida), tomé el metro. Las puertas del metro abren y cerran muy rapido! No hay mucho tiempo para entrar y salir. Fuimos a la calle Patronato que tiene muchas tiendas en la calle. Compré antiojos (gafas del sol), dos cinturónes, un jaqueta seca de Chile, y cosas para hacer como maracadores, papel, lapices, y reglas. Muy divertido!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of my belt buckles:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TLOd83FioJI/AAAAAAAAACY/qli0zem1Hz8/s1600/IMG_3534.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TLOd83FioJI/AAAAAAAAACY/qli0zem1Hz8/s320/IMG_3534.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526934836618633362" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My sweet new jacket:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TLOedRW3KUI/AAAAAAAAACg/rcuGdDuH1_g/s1600/IMG_3531.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TLOedRW3KUI/AAAAAAAAACg/rcuGdDuH1_g/s320/IMG_3531.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526935393426417986" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acá, pienso que veo más caballeros. En el metro, ellos dan las sillas para otros, más viejos, adultos, o mujeres (más para los viejos pero tambien para una cara bonita =P). Es agradable. Todos los personas tienen mucho respecto para los viejos. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday, in the afternoon, Maka, a friend, and my Chilean mom and I went shopping! For the first time (that I can remember in my life), I took the metro. The Metro doors open and closs really fast! There isn't much time to enter and leave. We went to Patronato St. which has a lot of street stores. I bought sunglasses, 2 belts, a cool Chile jacket, and things to do like markers, paper, pencils, and rulers. Lots of fun!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here, I think that I see more gentlement. In the metro, the guys give there seats for others, elderly, adults, or women (more for the elderly but also for a pretty face =P). It's nice. Everyone has a lot of respect for the elderly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Siempre pensé de un cinturón en la frase, cinturón de seguridad. Entonces cuando encontré que cinturón es belt, fue extraño para mi. Es una fácil conección pero no la hice. Es dificil para explicar pero pienso que imagino el cinturón como un cinturón de seguridad y me olvidé que es una palabra en una frase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Otra cosa de palabras. tomar sol = broncear = tan = to drink sun pero es mucho más linda para decir tomar sol, to drink sun. Este frase es más bonita, y acá es más común. Sólo bacán. Qué vas a hacer este fin de semana? Voy a tomar sol =]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I always thought of a cinturón (belt) in the phrase, cinturón de seguridad (belt of security or seatbelt). Then when I found out that cinturón is belt, it was wierd for me. It is an easy connection but I didn't make it. It's difficult to explain but I think that I imagine el cinturón like a seatbelt and I forgot that it is a word in a frase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other word things. tomar sol = broncear = tan = to drink sun but its much nicer to say tomar sol, to drink sun. The phrase is prettier and here is more common. Just awesome. What are you going to do this weekend? I'm going to drink some sun. =]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Que rico!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How rich!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1238178773336952220-7249010736296206282?l=lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/feeds/7249010736296206282/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2010/10/pues-yo-cache-un-otro-resfriado-esta.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/7249010736296206282'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/7249010736296206282'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2010/10/pues-yo-cache-un-otro-resfriado-esta.html' title=''/><author><name>Hannah Hayduk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12974931478418933452</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TLOd83FioJI/AAAAAAAAACY/qli0zem1Hz8/s72-c/IMG_3534.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238178773336952220.post-6856141770885978392</id><published>2010-10-04T10:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-06T18:08:16.309-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TKpkgKWn49I/AAAAAAAAACQ/djxputP-o1E/s1600/vi%C3%B1a+del+mar+group.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TKpkgKWn49I/AAAAAAAAACQ/djxputP-o1E/s320/vi%C3%B1a+del+mar+group.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524338396621169618" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El 23 de Septiembre, me sentí mi primer temblor. Fue un valor de 3.9 aproximadamente en el Ricter Scale. Fui leyendo en una silla afuera. No supe por qué la silla se movió pero no pensé nada de lo. Despues, mi padre chileno me informó. Lo mismo día completó el proceso para mi tarjeta de identidad. Todos de mis huellas dactilares son en el sistema ahora. El día, tambien, fue un de dos días de PSU pruebas, examenes de practica como SAT subject tests (pero para estos son manditorio para ellos). Lenguaje y historia fue horible, jaja. Matmaticas, la mejor para mi, fue antes de biología. Biología fue dificil porque muchas de las preguntas tienen una palabra que no sé, y entonces no entendí la pregunta. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;September 23, I felt my first tremble. It was a value of approximately 3.9 on the Ricter Scale. I was reading outside on a bench. I didn't know why the bench movied but I didn't think anything of it. After, my Chilean father informed me. The same day, I completed the process for my identity card. All of my fingerprints are in the system now. Also, the day was one of two of PSU tests, practice exams like SAT subject ests (but these are manditory for them). Lenguaje and history were horrible, haha. Math, the best for me, was before biology. Biology was difficult because many of the questions have one word that I don't know, and then I don't understand the question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El 26 de Septiembre estaba el cumpleaños de mi madre chilena. Algunos partes de la familia vinieron por una fiesta. El miercoles, hubo un otro temblor! Fuimos en psicología. Para ellos, está un excusado para salir clase y ir afuera, pero la profe no permitió ellos y continuó con clase. Estuve listo salir en un momento jaja.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;September 26th was my Chilean mom's birthday. Some parts of the family came for a party. On Tuesday, there was another tremble! We were in psycology. For them, it is an excuse to leave class and go outside, but the profesor didn't let them and continued with class. I was ready to leave in a moment haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Otras cosas: Me gusta mucho que nosotros tenemos recreo. Yo estoy aprendiendo otra vez tan divertido recreo es! Hay partidos, dormiendo, leyendo, y conversaciones. Reciví un celular y ahora es más fácil para comunicar con mi familia si hay un cambio en los planes. Mi padre chileno trabaja mucho en el norte y viaja allá durante algunas semanas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puede creer que el mes está Octubre ya?! Dos meses de escuela y entonces vacaciones de verano =P&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other things: I really like that we have recess. I am learning again how fun recess is! There are games, sleeping, reading, and conversations. I recieved a cell phone and now it is easier to communivate with my family if there is a change in the plans. My Chilean father works a lot in the north and travels there during some of the weeks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you believe that it is the month of October already?! Two months of school and then summer vacation =P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Este fin de semana, fui a un reunión de Rotary para todos de los Inbounds. Visitamos Valapariso y Viña del Mar. Muy lindoooo!Photos &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=182528&amp;id=1388515239&amp;l=abf830332b"&gt;acá&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La comida fue buenísimo y la gente, mucha divertida. Dormimos en cabañas con cuatra otra personas. Nosotros miramos como touristos en la polera roja que recivimos. Y fue un noche muy tarde. El proximo día Visitamos las playas y tiendas. Las fotos explican mucho mejor de yo. (Pues mire a ellos! jaja) Ádemas, hablamos con nuestros consejeros de los experiencias en el reunión, escuela, familia, y otras cosas. Un tiempo maravilloso!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This weekend, I went to a Rotary meeting with all the Inbounds. We visited Valapariso and Viña del Mar. Very pretty! Photos &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=182528&amp;id=1388515239&amp;l=abf830332b"&gt;acá&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The food was very good and the people, very fun. We slept in cabins with 4 other people.  we looked like tourists in our red polos that we recieved. And it was a late night. The next day we visited the beaches and stores. The photos expain much better than me. (So look at them! haha) Additionally, we spoke with our conselors and the experiences in the orientation, school, family, and other things. A marvelous time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TKoh7iZzypI/AAAAAAAAACI/A6q3MafZXyc/s1600/IMG_3364.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TKoh7iZzypI/AAAAAAAAACI/A6q3MafZXyc/s320/IMG_3364.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524265199654390418" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Si tenga preguntas, me deje un comento o envie un correo electronico y yo puedo contestarlos usando el Blog para todos en las semanas que vienen. Acá hay algunas que recieví.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have questions, leave me a comment or send an email and I can answer them using the blog for everyone in the weeks that come. Here are some that I recieved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Qué te llamas sus padres? La mayor parte del tiempo, me llamo a ellos con sus nombres primeros, pero refiero a ellos por mi mama/padre chileno/-a.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you call your parents? Most of the time, I call them by thier first names, but refer to them by my Chilean mom/dad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cómo se llaman los hermanos? Se llama Macarena, Constanza, y Alberto.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are the names of your siblings? Thier names are Macarena, Constanza, and Alberto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dónde trabaja su madre chilena? Trabaja en un salón de uñas.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where does your Chilean mom work? She works in a nail saloon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dónde vive la nana? Tiene un relación biologico? Ella vive en la casa durante la semana y durante el fin de semana en un apartamento en Santiago. Ella no tiene un relación biologico.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where does the nana live? Is she a family member (biologically)? She lives in the house during the week and during the weekend, in an apartement in Santiago. She is not a biological member of the family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cómo te sientes? Extrañas tu país y hogar? Es mejor la mayor parte del tiempo. =] Es una cosa que puede ser muy bien un segundo y mal el proximo, pero estoy muy bien en este momento.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do you feel? Do you miss you home? It is better most of the time. =] It is a thing sthat can be very good one second and bad the next, but I am good at this moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Juegas volibol todos los días? No, solamente lunes, martes, y miercoles.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you play volleyball every day? No, only monday, tuesday, and wednesday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cómo es tu español? Es mejor que antes pero necesito aprender más vocabulario y trabajar con los conjugaciones.  Tambien, tengo un accento gringo porque pronouncio las palabras con mucho definición, no chileno.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How is your spanish? It is better than before buy I need to learn more vocabulary and to work on the conjugations. Also, I have a gringo accent because I pronounce the words with a lot of definition, not chilean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Piensas que tu español, que tú aprendiste antes de viniendo, te está sirviendo bien? Sí, porque yo puedo communicar qué necesito. Aúnque conversación es muy diferente de clase y porque es mucho más rápido. Personas dicen que estoy muy buena con español pero ellos tuvieron una chica el año pasado que no entendió nada cuando ella vino. &lt;em&gt;Pero nunca en mi vida he sentido cómo sé tan mucho y tan pequeno en lo mismo tiempo&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Do you think that your spanish, that you learned before coming, is serving you well?&lt;br /&gt;Yes, because I can communicate what I need. Though conversationg is very different from class because it is a lot faster. People say that I am very good with spanish but they had a girl the past year that didn't understand anything when she came. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;But never in my life have I felt that I know so much and so little at the same time.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todo lo que pasa bien =]&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1238178773336952220-6856141770885978392?l=lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/feeds/6856141770885978392/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2010/10/la-semana-pasada-y-mas-past-week-and.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/6856141770885978392'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/6856141770885978392'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2010/10/la-semana-pasada-y-mas-past-week-and.html' title=''/><author><name>Hannah Hayduk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12974931478418933452</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TKpkgKWn49I/AAAAAAAAACQ/djxputP-o1E/s72-c/vi%C3%B1a+del+mar+group.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238178773336952220.post-2172585752667903478</id><published>2010-09-22T14:03:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-22T15:27:47.459-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Vacaciones de Septiembre</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TJp917UNltI/AAAAAAAAACA/tg6U0MiSsCk/s1600/IMG_3187.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TJp917UNltI/AAAAAAAAACA/tg6U0MiSsCk/s320/IMG_3187.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519862658704971474" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;La semana pasado, hice mucho de nada. Sin escuela, no hubo mucho de un horario y dormí mucho. El martes, fuimos a decir adios a mi hermana chilena quien salío para los EEUU. Ella está en Ohio ahora y está empezando una experiencia increíble. Despues de este, mi mama chilena fue muy agradable a decir a mí que no estoy aquí en el espacio de la Connie, pero que soy una hija diferente y nueva. Muchas gracias, porque el pensado ha entró mi cabeza pero este me ayudó. Cuando nosotros fuimos en el aeropuerto, había pensado de yendo en el avión tambien pero recordé que eso es más facil pero acá es más divertido y muy importante. Estoy muy feliz que estoy acá y con el desfilos viene tiempos bacanes. No puedo esperar para conocer dos idomas!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The past week, I did a lot of nothing. Without school, there isn't much of a schedule and I slept a lot. On Tuesday, we went to say bye to my Chilean sister who left for the US. She is in Ohio now and is starting an incredible experience. After this, my Chilean mom was very nice to say to me that I am not taking the place of Connie by I am a different and new daughter. Many thanks, because the thought had entered my mind but this helped me. When we went to the airport, I had thought about going on the plane too but I remembered that that is easier but here is more fun and very important. I am very happy I am here and with challenges come awesome times. I can't wait to know two languages!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El lunes, comí la fruta de cactus. Fue muy bien. Saborea como un melón, con una textura de sandía, con semillas de un arándano. Estoy descubriendo que me gusta kiwis. Acá comimos mucho de mariscos, la mayor parte es almejas.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Monday, I ate the fruit of a cactus. It was very good. It tastes like honey dew, with a texture of watermelon, with seeds of a cranberry. I am discovering that I like kiwis too. Here we eat a lot of sea food, the greater part is clams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aprendí un partido nuevo que se llama "Dudo". Se juega este partido en Pirates de la Carribean 2. La pregunta es, "Cuántos de los dados tienen este cara?" Cada jugador empieza con 5 dados. La meta del partido es para estar la persona ultimo con dados. En un circulo, cada jugador adivina cuantos de un cara de dado hay. Cambia la cara o numero de dados. (Hay mas reglas pero no voy a escribirlos) Cuando una persona duda que hay al menos del numero de los dados, dice "dudo" y entonces se contan cuantos dados hay. Si no hay el minimo, la persona que dijo cuantos hay, perde un dado. Si la persona que dijo "dudo" no tiene razon, se perde un dado. Me lo gusto.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I learned a new game called, "Dudo". They play this game in Pirates of the Carribean 2. The question is, "How many of the dice have this face?" Each player starts with 5 die. The goal of the game is to be the last one with die. In a circle, each player gueses how many of a face of die there are. Change the face or the number. (There are more rules but I am not going to write them.) Qhen a person doubts that there are at least that number of die, they say "dudo" ("I doubt") and then they count how many die thier are. If there is not the minimum, the person that says how many there are, loses a die. If the person that says "dudo" is not right, they lose one dice. I like the game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El sabado, la familia tuvo un fiesta para la familia porque fue el 18 de Septiembre, la independencia de Chile (y la razon para no escuela durante la semana). Este año es muy especial porque es el bicentenario, 200 años! Viva Chile! Hablé con muchas personas y tuve un buen tiempo. Aprendí las basicas de la Cueca, el baile nacional. No puedo expresar como buena la comida es!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Saturday, the family had a party for the family because it was the 18th of September, the independence of Chile (and the reason for no school during the week). This year is very special because it is the bicentenial, 200 years! Go Chile! I talked with many people and had a good time. I learned the basics of the Cueca, the national dance. I can't express how good the food is!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Carne:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meat:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TJp7mf3XdPI/AAAAAAAAABY/OPAaZsN_CvA/s1600/IMG_3137.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TJp7mf3XdPI/AAAAAAAAABY/OPAaZsN_CvA/s320/IMG_3137.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519860194614932722" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Decoraciones:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Decorations:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TJp8QdtnX5I/AAAAAAAAABg/Wd31VLmhtAQ/s1600/IMG_3133.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TJp8QdtnX5I/AAAAAAAAABg/Wd31VLmhtAQ/s320/IMG_3133.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519860915591667602" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El día despues de 18 del Septiembre es un día para los militares. Hay un desfile de todos los partes en frente del presidente. Muy hermoso. No fuimos pero estuvemos viendo el defile en la televisión.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The day after September 18th is a day for the military. THere is a parade of all the parts in fromt of the president. Very beautiful. We didn't go but we were watching the parade on the tv.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tuve un sueño donde fui jugando tenís y yo grito, "Careful, there is a ball on the court." Dí cuenta que grité en ingles. Entonces, yo puse el mano sobre mi boca y pensé, ESPAÑOL Hannah, ESPAÑOL. En mis sueños me estoy diciendo que necesito hablar en español. jaja&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a dream where I was playing tennis and I yelled, "Careful, there is a ball on the court." I realized that I yelled in english. Then, I put my hand over my mouth and thought, SPANISH, Hannah, SPANISH. In my dreams I am telling myself that I need to speak and spanish. haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Domingo, mi padre chileno, Maka, y yo fuimos a la playa, Pichelimu, para el fin de los vacaciones. Muy muy linda, hermoso, todo! La arena es negro, muy differente de las playas en los EEUU. Las olas tienen mucho fuerzas y el mar es un poquito más azul. Fue fresco porque solamente fue el primer día de la primavera y hace mucho viento allá. Antes del mediodía, nadie está en la playa porque de la cultura y como tarde se duerme. Es muy tranquila y me lo gusto mucho en la mañana. Visitamos La Punta de Los Lobos pero no vimos lobos, aunque muy lindo. Nosotros volvemos a la casa ayer porque hubo mucho trafica el lunes.(No fui a escuela ayer =P )&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday, my Chilean dad, Maka, and I went to the beach, Pichelimu, for the end of the vacations. Very very pretty, beautiful, everything! The sand is black, very different than the beaches in the US. The waves were very strong and the sea is a little bit more blue. It was chilly because it was only the first day of spring and very windy there. Before mid-day, nobody is on the beach because of the culture and how late they sleep. It is very calming and I like it a lot in the morning. We visited La Punta de Los LObos but we didn't see any seals, very pretty though. We returned to the house yesterday becuase there was a lot of trafic on Monday. (I didn't go to school Tuesday then =P)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pichelimu:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TJp8myS9USI/AAAAAAAAABo/afKpSanoa_c/s1600/IMG_3172.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TJp8myS9USI/AAAAAAAAABo/afKpSanoa_c/s320/IMG_3172.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519861299074126114" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La puesta del sol y yo:&lt;br /&gt;The sunset and I:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TJp9Buk9PkI/AAAAAAAAABw/0FucgEls4Yc/s1600/IMG_3249.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TJp9Buk9PkI/AAAAAAAAABw/0FucgEls4Yc/s320/IMG_3249.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519861761932344898" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1238178773336952220-2172585752667903478?l=lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/feeds/2172585752667903478/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2010/09/vacaciones-de-septiembre.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/2172585752667903478'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/2172585752667903478'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2010/09/vacaciones-de-septiembre.html' title='Vacaciones de Septiembre'/><author><name>Hannah Hayduk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12974931478418933452</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/TJp917UNltI/AAAAAAAAACA/tg6U0MiSsCk/s72-c/IMG_3187.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238178773336952220.post-149909865157877656</id><published>2010-09-10T14:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-10T19:56:32.659-07:00</updated><title type='text'>La Alianza, The Anniversary</title><content type='html'>&lt;STRONG&gt;Medio del miercoles y todo de jueves y viernes, nosotros tenemos La Alianza. La Alianza es el aniversario del escuela y ocurri cada año. Este año es el decimo año para ellos. Es como un pep ralley, pero sobre 2 1/2 días. Los alumnos (y profes) participan en pruebas y bailes para celebrar. Hay fútbol, volibol, tira el ropa, bailes, pruebas en comiendo y muchas cosas otras.Más en esta en un momento.&lt;/STRONG&gt; Half of Wednesday and all of Thursday and Friday, we had La Alianza. La Alianza is the anniversary of the school and occurs each year. This year is the 10th year for them. It's like a pep rally, but over 2 1/2 days. The students (and teachers) participate in challenges and dances to celebrate. There is soccer, volleyball, tug-of-war, dances, eating challenges, and many other things. More on this in a moment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;El martes, mi madre chilena y yo fuimos a Santiago para mi cedula de identidad. Pero en el primer edificio fuimos, se dijo a nosotros que necesitamos a ir a otro lugar para papeles. Despues de manejando por 10 minutos y caminando algunos cuadros, llegamos a la policia international, quien dijo que necesitamos a ir a un differente lugar. Entonces, nosotros dicubrimos el lugar incorrecto! Preguntamos una persona que se vende periodicos y por fin, llegamos al lugar correcto. Allá, obtenimos los papeles pero mi mama chilena necesitó a ir a trabajar y el lunes, iremos para la tarjeta.&lt;/STRONG&gt; &lt;br /&gt;On Tuesday, my Chilean mom and I went to Santiago for my identity card. But, in the first buiding we went, they said to us that we need to go to another place for papers. After driving for 10 minutes and walking some blocks, we arrived at the International Police, who said that we need to go to a different place. Then, we fount the wrong place! We asked a person that was selling newspapers and finally, we arrived at the correct place. There, we obtained the papers but my Chilean mom needed to go to work and on Monday, we will go for the card. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;El jueves, fue el cumpleaños de Cecilia, nuestros nana. Para una sopresa, damos a ella pastel y un enderezador de pelo. Espero que ella le gusta! =] En la clase de español en los EEUU, nosotros cantamos "Feliz Cumpleaños a ti, feliz cumpleaños a ti, feliz cumpleaños a _____" etc. Pero acá, cantan "Cumpleaños feliz. Te deseamos a ti. Cumpleaños _______, Cumpleaños feliz" Un poquito differente. &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Thursday, it was Cecilia's birthday, our nana. For a suprise, we gave her cake and a hair straightener. I hope she likes it! =] In Spanish class in the US, we sing "Feliz Cumpleaños a ti, feliz cumpleaños a ti, feliz cumpleaños a _____" etc. "But here they sing "Cumpleaños feliz. Te deseamos a ti. Cumpleaños _______, Cumpleaños feliz" A little bit different. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Ahora más en La Alianza. Hay dos equipos con temas. Este año fueron rojo (Rock 'n Roll) y azul (Hippies). Los equipos son differente concursos y III Medio (mi curso) fue rojo. Azul ganó. Yo juegue fútbol (yay!=] me extraño fútbol), volibol, y tira la ropa. Muy divertido! Hoy (viernes) mis piernas me duelen! Aunque, me siento bien. Ádemas, gané un nominación para mujures con músculos, hehe =] Fuerza! Hubo muchos bailes. Acá es un video de algunos. Lo siento que no es muy bueno, pero ya es muy intersante.&lt;/STRONG&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Now, more on La Alianza. There are two teams with themes. This year they were red (Rock 'n Roll) y azul (Hippies). The teams are different grades and Juniors (my course) were red. Blue won. I played soccer (yay! =] I miss soccer), volleyball, and tug of war. Very fun! Today, Friday, my legs hurt! Although, I feel good. Additionally, I won a nomination for women with muscules, hehe =] Strength! There were many dances. Here is a video of some. Sorry that it is not very good, but still is very interesting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s799.photobucket.com/albums/yy278/hhayduk/?action=view&amp;current=LaAlianza-MergeofDancingMoviesUPLOADVERSION.mp4"&gt;VIDEO&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;La comida acá es rica. No tiene mucho azucar y no es muy dulce. Simplemente, rica! Por ejemplo, no me gusta jugo de manzanas en los EEUU pero acá, es más natural y muy muy muy buena.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The food here is rich. It doesn't have much sugar and isn't very sweet. Simply rich! For example, I don't like apple juice in the US but here, it's more natural and very very very good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fotos de la Alianza:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photos of La Alianza:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=165475&amp;id=1388515239&amp;l=e02f5bf2ca "&gt;http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=165475&amp;id=1388515239&amp;l=e02f5bf2ca&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No tenemos escuela la próximo semana!

(Then I'll translate it)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first question: How much of myself do I let go? This is the crossroads that the exchange is all about. It's that moment when you greet someone you never met or a teacher in the hall and there is that moment of hesitation. That moment when you stop and think what to do and how to act. It passes quickly but stands there like a mountain. This is small compared to embracing other mannerisms like the next example. Am I Chilean and openly embracing it? Do I move first and give a kiss on the cheek? Or am I an teenager from the EEUU still stuck in old ways, still working, smiling akwardly and passing by? Sometimes, I'm EEUU, othertimes, I'm a part of the culture. Now, more often that not, but still not completely 100%. Another example is the closeness and sharing. Chileans share everything, from food, drink, lipgloss, you name it. But being brought up in the United States with a good education, I think of germs and their spread, instead of the caring and the friendship this demonstrates. This is the best example of how much to give. I feel like I'm going to forget what it is to work and do chores when I have such a wonderful, caring family and a nana that does them because she is paid to do that. I don't want to become lazy. While I always say thank you and I gave her a gift as well, to compensate for this, I think I'm going to work on other disiplines, like a simple, short ab or plyometric workout that I can do every couple days. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a balance I'm working on, and this is what the exchange is about. I'm learning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most incredible part of it all, is that one year ago, I still hadn't thought I would be where I am today. If someone had told me 365 days prior to today, Í'd say, "Ha, That's awesome, and I'd love to do it, but it's not me." I am so excited that it could be me and that I'm here, in Chile today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The world is moving fast, so here is the second question: Ïs the world giving you a run for your money or are gyou giving the world a run for its money? (Remember, "The world was here first. It owes you nothing."-Mark Twain)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But all in all, it's just simply amazing.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1238178773336952220-8317827158897512909?l=lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/feeds/8317827158897512909/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2010/09/las-dos-preguntas-two-questions.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/8317827158897512909'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/8317827158897512909'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2010/09/las-dos-preguntas-two-questions.html' title='Las Dos Preguntas, The Two Questions (Part 1)'/><author><name>Hannah Hayduk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12974931478418933452</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238178773336952220.post-6405195996113218646</id><published>2010-09-03T18:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-03T19:14:52.573-07:00</updated><title type='text'>El bus de escuela, The School Bus (Part 2)</title><content type='html'>Well, that was a bit into the psychological side of things...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I'm starting to take the bus home from school since my Chilean mother got a job. Yesterday was my first day to take the bus, but it never came! My Chilean brother got a ride home from a friend, and when I didn't show up at home my Chilean sister called a school friend who said I was still at school. Thank goodness for this amiga!! I couldn't survive without her. She took me under her wing and we went to the house of a boy in school and worked on dancing for La Alianza, the anniversery (of the school). I now know part of the dance to Elvis Presley's "Blue Swade Shoes". How exciting! =] These Chileans sure know how to dance...to their own music and to music from other places like the US too, (probably more than most of the US population!) Today, the bus came, a little late, but it came. The ladies were super nice. The "bus" is like a small, yellow, school van with a sign on top that says "escolares".&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I'm feeling much better, partially because my cold went away and also because I got a letter from my mom that brightened my day. For the first de since I got here, I can see the mountians really and truly clearly. One day is up, the next is down. It's a roller coaster.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1238178773336952220-6405195996113218646?l=lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/feeds/6405195996113218646/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2010/09/el-bus-de-escuela-school-bus.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/6405195996113218646'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/6405195996113218646'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2010/09/el-bus-de-escuela-school-bus.html' title='El bus de escuela, The School Bus (Part 2)'/><author><name>Hannah Hayduk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12974931478418933452</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238178773336952220.post-2640396046816715013</id><published>2010-08-29T08:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-03T19:17:09.174-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Desafíos, Challenges</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Lunes para mi, en escuela, como viernes, parecen que es un día facil. Tenemos clases de carrera o de vida y musica. Hay biología, filosophía, y matmaticas pero solamente por una hora. En educación física, ellos están aprendiendo una baile para un presentacion. Llegue un poquito tarde para empezar pero estoy viendo y aprendí partes. Tuve una prueba en biología y matmaticas. Pienso que ambos están buenas y el jueves tenemos fotos para el Year Book.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mondays, for me, en escuela, like Friday, seems to be an easy day. We have classes of careers or life and music. There are biology, philosophy, and math but only for an hour. In gym, they are learning a dance for a presentation. I arrived a little to late to start but I am watching and learning parts. I had a quiz in biology and math. I think both went well and on Thursday we had picutures for the Year Book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tambien, comí una cosa muy diferent. Pensé que ellos fue una decoración en la mesa. jaja&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, I ate a very different thing. I thought they were a decoration on the table. haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Se llama cachofas y se come el fondo de las hojas.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are called chocas and they eat the bottom of the leaves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Antes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/THqGKG4Q9lI/AAAAAAAAABI/lKrAXTTm-2I/s1600/IMG_3021%5B1%5D.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/THqGKG4Q9lI/AAAAAAAAABI/lKrAXTTm-2I/s320/IMG_3021%5B1%5D.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510864602244642386" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Despues:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/THqGKm6ZSvI/AAAAAAAAABQ/qpVQU_BSpxE/s1600/IMG_3022%5B1%5D.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/THqGKm6ZSvI/AAAAAAAAABQ/qpVQU_BSpxE/s320/IMG_3022%5B1%5D.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510864610843511538" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Los palabras que se usa, son cortas. Como cuando estoy escuchando para "profesora" o "vamos", oigo "profe" y "vamo". Este semana, algunas veces, me senté que no sé nada. Puedo communicar qué yo quiero (la mayor parte del tiempo) pero no puedo entender mucho. Y con un resfriado, es ridiculo&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The words that they use, son cortas. Like when I am listening for "profesor" or "vamos" (let's go"), I hear "profe"y "vamo". This week, sometimes, I felt that I didn't know anything. I can communicate what I want (most of the time) but I can't understand much. And with a cold, it's ridiculus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Esta semana fue difícil. Tuve un resfriado y no fui a escuela el martes. Dormí para 16 horas hasta 9 en la mañana. El resfriado se me quedó para toda la semana. Probable, la razon que yo estoy tan cansada. Espero que se me vaya solo. Todo que yo quiero a hacer es sentarme con mi mama de EEUU porque se extraño mucho, mis amigos tambien. (Pienso que este es nostálgica para mi hogar.) Pero, todo solamente pueda estar mejor de acá.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week was difficult. I had a cold and didn't go to school Tuesday. I slept for 16 hours until 9 in the morning. THe cold stuck with me for the whole week. Probably, the reason that I am so tired. I hope that it leaves me alone. All that I want to do is sit with my mama (of the US) becuase I miss her a lot, my friends as well. (Guess this is homesickness setting in.) But, all can only be better from here. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hasta luego!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until later!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;‎"Some famous guy once said, "To travel is better than to arrive." And I was like, "What?!" Because I used to think that there was only one path to take to get to where you want to be in life, but if you choose that one path, it doesn't mean you have to abandon all the other ones. I realize that it's actually what happens along the way that counts, the stumbles, and the falls and the friendships. Life's the journey, not the destination. You just gotta trust, I guess, that the future will work itself out like its supposed to." -Step Up 3D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1238178773336952220-2640396046816715013?l=lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/feeds/2640396046816715013/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2010/08/desafios-challenges.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/2640396046816715013'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1238178773336952220/posts/default/2640396046816715013'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lavidaenchile-hhayduk.blogspot.com/2010/08/desafios-challenges.html' title='Desafíos, Challenges'/><author><name>Hannah Hayduk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12974931478418933452</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOVzyr8_-Lg/THqGKG4Q9lI/AAAAAAAAABI/lKrAXTTm-2I/s72-c/IMG_3021%5B1%5D.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238178773336952220.post-7490660341321364835</id><published>2010-08-19T14:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-22T11:24:07.352-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Muchas Cosas, Many Cosas</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Vamos a escuela a las 7:50 de la mañana y tengo una clase, entonces tenemos un recreo de 20 minutos y este repite. (Tenemos una hora para almuerzo.) Mis clases incluen linguaje (español para español), matmáticas,química, biología, ingles, religión, filosofía, y música. El lunes, martes, y jueves, la escuela termina a las cuatro y viente de la tarde. El miercoles, termina a las tres y veinte y el viernes termina a las dos de la tarde. Los días son largos pero con los recreos no son terible. Tambien, no tenemos mucha tarea, solamente una cosa la mayor parte de los días, si tenemos alguna. Puedo aprender más en mis clases como biología porque las palabras pueden ser solamente de este clase. Entónces, no necesito pensar de todos las palabras en el mundo. Además, muchas palabras de íngles son muy acerca de los palabras de español, un poquito diferente in el pronunciado o accentos, pero escribe semejante. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We go to school at 7:50 am and I have a clase, then a break for 20 minutes and this repeats. (We have 1 hour for lunch) My clases include linguaje (Spanish for Spanish), math, chem, biology, english, religion, philosophy, and music. On Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, school finishes at 4:20 pm. On Wednesday, school finishes at 3:20 pm and on Friday, at 2pm. The dias are long but with the recesses, they aren't terrible. Also, we don't have much homework, only one thing most of the days, if any. I can understand more in my classes like biology because the words can be only about this class. Then, I don't need to think of all the words in the world. Also, many words in English are very close to the words in Spanish, a little different in pronounciation or accents, but it spells similar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;La gente aquí son muy agradable. Pienso que aquí, he dado a personas más besos en sies días, que yo he dado en mi vida. El saludo es "hola!", entonces besamos en la mejilla. Todo la gente, esto inclue los profesores! Explique a una de mis compañeros cómo es diferente de los EEUU y ella estuvo sorprendida.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The people here are very friendly. I think that here, I have given to people, more kisses in 6 days than I have in my life. The greeting as well as goodbye are followed by a kiss on the cheek. Everyone, this includes the teachers! I explained to a classmate how it is different in the US and she was suprised.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Me ha preguntado si yo conocí Dracula. jaja Es porque Pennsylvania sona como Transylvania. En la clase de íngles, cuando estamos bueno, cantamos una canción y escribimos los letras. &lt;br /&gt;Escuchábamos a Justin Bieber, "Never say Never", 8 veces!! Una cosa más, una pregunta popular es, "tienes un pololo?" Todo el mundo me pregunta este. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been asked if I know Dracula. haha It's because Pennsylvania sounds like Transylvania. In English class, when we are good, we sing a song and fill in the lyrics. We listened to Justin Bieber, "Never say Never", 8 times!! One more thing, a popular question is, "Do you have a boyfriend?" All the world has asked me this. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;En mi casa, durante la semana, tenemos una persona como una criada. Ella cocina, limpia, lava los ropas para nosotros. Es muy agadable y alguno día, le quiere trabajar en los EEUU y estudiar en una universidad. No necesito hacer quehaceres...es raro. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my house, during the week, we have a person like a house keeper. SHe cooks, cleans, and washes the clothes for us. SHe is very nice and someday, wants to work in the US and study in a university. I don't have to do chores...it's wierd. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortuito, pero interesante, es que en cartas, the ace se llama as en español. Pronuncia como "ass". Cuando estamos jugando cartas, es cómico para mi. The suit se llama la pinta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Random, but interesting, is that in cards, the ace is called as in Spanish. It is pronounced like "ass". When we are palying cards, its funny for me. The suit is called la pinta. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ahora, la mayor parte del tiempo, no puedo entender muchas palabras pero puedo oír una palabra solo en las frases. Cuando voy a dormir, es defícil a dormirme porque estoy pensando en español pero no sé mucho y repito las fraces muchas veces y me molesto. Pero es un parte más, acerca del sueño español. Y algunas cosas son más facil y más normal para decir en español ahora. Cuando voy a hablar en íngles a una chica del intercambio que no entiendo español, no estoy pensando y empiezo con palabras español.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, most of the time, I can't understand many words but I can hear individual words in phrases. When I go to sleep, it hard to fall asleep because I am thinking in Spanish but I don't know much and I repeat the phrases many times and it bothers me. But it is one part more, closer to the dream in spanish. And, some things are easier and more normal to say in spanish now. When I go to speak in English to an exchange girl that doesn't understand Spanish, I'm not thinking and I start with Spanish words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El jueves pasado, mis compañeras y yo estábamos hablando de sushi y los tipos. Dije que tenemos sushi que es hizo con patas...pero patas son feet! jaja mi primer error grande! (es sushi con papas...potatoes)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estoy aprendiendo a jugar voleibol porque no se tiene un equiop de fútbol para mujeres, solamente para los hombres. Saltamos mucho, como plyometrics, y es defícil pero bueno.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estoy cansada más y más cada día porque es mucho trabajo para aprender y entender.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This past Thurday, my classmates and I were talking about sushi and the types. I said that we have sushi that is made with pata...but pata are feet! haha My first big error! (It's sushi with papas...potatoes)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm learning to play volleyball because they don't have a girl's soccer team, only for the guys. We jump a lot, like plyometrics, and it's hard but good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am more and more tired each day because its a lot of work to learn and understand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El viernes, mi mama chilena y hermana chilena y yo fuimos al centro comercial (mall). Compré pilas para mi camera. El edificio está grande con diferente tiendas pero tiene mucho de las cosas como Sketchers y otras coasa al mismo también. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday, my Chilean mom and Chilean sister and I went to the mall. I bought bateries for my camera.
