20 days to go...

I cannot believe I'm just about ready to come home. I'm so excited to be back, but at this point in time, I really don't want to leave yet. My Spanish is coming along so nicely; I can express myself, explain how games work, give directions, and I almost have rolling my Rs down pat. And my friends here are so wonderful.

Well, there were lots of things I wanted to buy here before going home that I'm not going to have a chance to buy. I have about four dollars to last me until I don't know when, so unfortunately I won't be bringing any of you back Christmas presents. My bad.

But yeah, the things I was hoping to get were:
  • A huge Chilean flag to hang in my room
  • A soccer jersey, even if it's a rip-off version
  • Some t-shirts with Chilean things on them, such as from Teletón (a non-profit organization) or some other thing
  • A llama fur sweater (I already have a llama fur hat...but I can't seem to find it!!)
  • A Head backpack (they're incredibly cheap here, and they have an awesome selection, not just the tennis bags you see on TV)
  • A couple pleasure reading books so I could keep up on my Spanish after going back home
  • A few movies in Spanish
  • Etc.
Well...I guess I can buy these things when I come back someday in the distant future. And I do have millions of pictures to keep as memories....

Emotionally yours,
Kelsey

Si, en 20 dias esta historia llegara a su fin. El final verdadero. I prefer don't remember the countdown. There is nothing I can do, so I'm just waiting the end quietly and peacefully.

Chilean Flag! No he podido encontrar una "correctamente diseñada". Tal vez juntos podemos ir en busca de una, del tamaño mas gigante posible.

Libro con mucho texto en español ¿sobre que tema? ¿turismo? ¿literatura? ¿algun autor específico?
Películas en español ¿100% Chilenas? o de cualquier país pero ¿con idioma español?

Muchas dudas :-)

If you get a chilean soccer jersey thenI can wear my honduran one and we can support our teams together!
