This week has been interesting to say the least, and full of new experiences. As far as the school week; it was fairly normal and relaxed. I've begun to settle into my new classes and schedule, but I don't know if I'll ever get used to getting up before the sun and leaving to catch a bus at 7:50 for my first class. The two economics classes with Chileans are going well and I'm happy to say I haven't gotten lost again (yet). And I have even had my first test in Spanish! And it went well! I was a little nervous when it was getting passed out, but the content it covered wasn't very difficult. The only down side of it was that it was on a friday afternoon at 3:00 and it was a beautiful day so that was slightly distracting given the view from my school.
I have started to meet some new people this week, and some Chileans! There was a holiday Thursday and I was lucky enough to be invited out on Wednesday night with one of the Chileans I meet. It was calm night drinking at one of their houses, but then we decided to go out to a club in Valpo. Keep in mind when I say decided to go out it was around 1:00 in the morning already. The parties start here when ours would end in the U.S. We stayed at the club until around 3:00 and then went to another but this one only for a few minutes. And I have to say Valpo is quite an interesting place at night and along the road where all the clubs are. It would not be for everyone to say the least. But when we left is where my night actually got fairly interesting. We got on a micro to head home as normal, and also as normal it was driving crazy but this time there it drove just a little to crazy and ended up getting into a fender bender of sorts with another micro. I didn't know it at first because there was just a swerve and then an abrupt stop, but then everyone on the bus got kicked off and there was lots of confusion. So i decided I would just walk home with my fiends and all was well.
The next night was my friends birthday so of course we went out again. And it was a normal night until a man came up and asked us to join him and his friends for drinks. We said no but he continued to stare at me. After a few more drinks we decided to have some "fun" and try and get free drinks from him. And this is when I found out why he was staring at me... He was gay and to say the least quite attracted to me. To make a long story short after a fair amount of leg touching and attempts to kiss me as well as get my friends to leave me there with him we left. And I think i'm still trying to get my mind around what happened. From now on I will be the only one buying my drinks.
And to finish up what must seem like an obscene amount of going out. We went out yesterday because it was the officially birthday party of my friend if you will. And all that needs to be said is again Chileans stay out forever. But all is well and there is nothing interesting really to say.
If anything else wild happens Ill be sure to post again. Chau!
