My incredible two and a half months of Chilean summer must finally come to an end, and tomorrow I start my (last) first day of high school at my new school. I know I’ve been slacking on the blog but its my fault, there are just so many better things to do than to be on the internet. I spent the entire month of February at the beach with my awesome host family eating some of the best Chilean food I have ever had, celebrating my 18th birthday at the beach (way better than spending it in a cold, rainy Indiana), playing lots of cards, getting a killer tan, and visiting lots and lots of beaches.
Special shout out to my awesome host family- they have made these last two months the best of my exchange. So much of exchange depends on the host family: if you have living with people who don’t welcome you into their family you will never feel comfortable, which becomes incredibly exhausting. My current host family has such an amazing outlook on life and they are so relaxed. They really make me feel like a part of the family and because of that I feel so comfortable around them. I’ve become so blessed with my current host family, they are the best! I’m so glad I get to spend my last months of exchange with them.
The last 2 months have absolutely FLOWN by which scares me. I’ve now reached the golden part of my exchange: I can speak Spanish, I know Chile, I have friends here, and I have the best host family in the world. At this point life seriously can not get any better. I officially have my return date of June 30th, meaning I have a little less than 4 months left. When I first came here my exchange seemed infinite, but now the harsh reality that sometime I will have to leave Chile has hit me. Now all I can do is make the most of the little time i have left :)
Oh and I just spent 9 days on a bus in the driest desert in the world with 40 exchange students. No big deal.
