More Chile

Hello, I imagine you all can't wait to hear from me again. Things are still going good in Chile. Even better, the days are getting warm, and its the perfect time for sunbathing. Too bad I have to sit in a class room during the nicest times of the day! Anyways, it was a relaxed and beautiful week.
Today when I got to school, a suprise awaited all students. At 10, I saw two fire trucks in front of the Casa Central. Surveying the scene a little more, there was caution tape and broken, exploded wood and glass on the ground. I looked up to the third level, and a fire occured in our school! I couldn't believe it. I've heard a few hypothesis. First, an insomniac was popping popcorn when things went wrong. Haha. Second, that at five this morning a chemistry lab exploded and started this fire. At least 1/4 of the third floor was torched. I was very suprised!
Other than that, I was a good charity girl this week. My maid, who comes once a week for a deep cleaning, was talking to me during lunch. I asked her how her 18th festivities were, and she said good.... but we don't have much money, so we didn't go very many places. So, continuing to talk she revealed her daughters 15th birthday was this weekend. But... the problem is she doesn't have any money, and couldn't buy a cake. Well in short, I ended up giving her daughter a birthday present, and contributed a little but to her cake. Second, I was eating a chocolate bar on the street when three homeless men asked me for money. Well, I never go digging through my purse to find them money, so I shared some chocolate. Haha. At least I did something...
The poor people who sell socks, tweezers, sunglasses, and basically nothing on the street make me feel slightly uncomfortable.
Another thing about school today, they were handing out papers in front of the casa central, me thinking it was about fire took it. The headline was, Gay marriages, threatening our society and our faith. Building hate for the gays, very nice Chile.
On Saturday I had a nice lunch with my family. My mom made seafood soup, a tasty salad, and fish sticks... in the shape of fishies. Its a good thing I mysteriosly started liking fish before I came to chile.
On Monday I wanted to go get a pedicure, so my mom sent me to her friends shop. This friend had is now living in New York. He was dating a "gringa", and she got pregnant. So, he moved to New York to meet the girls family, and they are going to get married before they have the baby. His mom could care less, and is excited to have a little gringa grandchild but... she told me her mom almost died! I can imagine.
Well, I'll try to remember more quality things to say next time!
I'm looking forward to a homework week. I have a paper due tomorrow, monday, and an art portfolio due in two mondays. Fancy that, I actually have school! HAHAHAHAH
Miss you!
Un abrazo,
xoxo... Kati
