Just living in Chile, with some wine

I haven't posted for a while so I thought I'd give an update of what has been going on. And really not too much has been going on. School has continued to get harder over the last few weeks with more essays, but over all it is still going well. Last weekend however me and a few friends went to a wine fest in Casablanca (yes there is one outside of morocco). And it was great, one we got to drink wine all day, but two I actually learned about wines and their differences. If anyone is curious I'm now a white wine fine. It was a lot of fun aside from the wine as well though, there was music and lots of food (mainly empanadas). Other than that event I haven't done anything too exciting if you will, mainly just days at the beach while there still is sun and trying to find the cheap bars as typical college students do. However I did get some good excise the other weekend as I walked with my host mom all the way to renaca (about 7 miles round trip). It was a lot of fun and a great way to see more of the surronding areas. The other big announcement to be made is: I've decided to stay for a year here in Chile! But don't worry I'm still coming back for some time in the summer. I've decided that I truly want to master the Spanish language and learn a new culture, and there isn't a better way to do it other than actually living here. I haven't thought of a Chilean name for myself though so if anyone has suggestions let me know. Other than those occurrences not much to report. This weekend has been relaxed and I got to see my brother play in a bar here which was great even though it started at 2:30am! And today I plan on doing some homework actually (surprise). But I'll try and make an effort to post more, but I figured I'd wait until I had things to actually talk about for this post.

As always nos Vemos!
