Well here I am... I will write this in English, I promise. :)

So I have been in Chile again for over a week. It is somewhat odd, it is like I never left. It is cold, but I am getting used to it again. Basically I just wear three shirts all the time and walk around with a hot water bottle. But in the end everything is fine. I had some passport issues - the COnsulate lied to me when they said that you never had to pay the entry fee again, that was quite frustrating (I had my *confrontation* with the passport control people at 6 am after having slept a total of 30 minutes on the plane...). And then, when I finally did get through everything, I couldn´t find Sebastian! All I saw was taxi drivers - but then, there he was. He´s taller than I remember... or maybe I am just not used to being around really tall people. And then, he took a wrong turn on the way back to his house so instead of going down the Alameda (the main road) we took Vespucio (the ring road) and he had no clue where we were. Luckily I did. I don´t understand how a guy who has lived here 21 years still gets lost. But we got back safe and sound.

I haven´t really done anything interesting - I have been to the University a few times with Seba and I´ve randomly gone around the city and I´ve slept a lot but nope, not much. My friends call me, which makes me happy, we are going to get together sometime so I can meet the new boyfriends. Supposedly ;) Other than that, I have been cooking, eating lots of manjar, and spending time with Sebastian.

I went to his church last week - it wasn´t as scary as I was afraid it would be. It was amusing to me that I went into the class his uncle (the pastor) told me too and his tia Rosa just said, hi everyone, this is the polola of Sebastian, and they all knew that my name was Katty and it was really funny. Maybe it was just me. We have a dilemma this SUnday though because we are going to have lunch with his paternal grandparents but his maternal grandparents, who are going to Australia for 3 months, are coming to his house for lunch... we haven´t figured out what we are doing yet. but it will all work out :)

In terms of work... still working on it... but something will come through eventually, I hope. At the very least I have been making Sebastian take books out of the library for me so I can read them. And buying me newspapers, too. So that is good.

I love you all lots and I hope you are all well - I´ll try to keep this updated when I can.
