early to bed for Chile Contemporeana

So we're putting ourselves to bed early tonight (with lots of screaming and crying on the part of la Fernandita and la Maria Jose) because la Paulina and I are getting up early to go meet CIEE. I have to register my student visa. Then the week long mini course, 'Contemporary Chile' starts, from 10am to 6pm each day.

We all spent the weekend with our familias. I met la abuela, el abuelo, el ex-marido, amigos, etc. I went on forced runs with la Jose while she rode her bicycle. Paulina showed me the metro and the supermarket (I learned she is wierd and loves pnut butter- yes!). So far I've watched Barney goes to the Circus (in español), Flushed Away (Lo que las aguas se la llevó), and Home Alone (Mi Pobre Angelito). I've also done a lot of coloring. I watched a really excellent film yesterday called Machuca. Te lo recomiendo mucho. I am tired, but still ok and happy I think:)

Here is a link about Machuca:
