Update

Well since my last post I have done a few pretty rad things. First of all I found out that there was a pro volleyball tourny going on in Vina del Mar (city attached to Valparaiso) so I HAD to go check that out. Sure enough Brasil was playing and they brought some of their best players to the tourny like Giba who is considered to be the best player in the world. Yeah so amazing. I watched Venezuela vs. Uruguay and Brasil vs. Columbia the first night then the second night I watched Brasil vs. Venezuela which was suppose to be the highlight game of the tourny. Brasil still rolled over Venezuela but it was a great atmosphere. So that was a huge highlight for me. 

After the game on the second night I met up with some friends and there was this kind of, I guess you would call it an art show/circus. It being held by lots of different kinds of artists in valparaiso and vina del mar. It was in a house where artists live for free and its a huge open space. Very cool atmosphere. There was a mime, jugglers, clown, trapeze act, and capuara. That was a very cool experience also. 

Other than that classes are still kinda kickin my butt because of the spanish barrier. There are days where I am on and can understand a lot and days when I am exhausted and things fly over my head. It is getting a little better each day. I have an exam coming up in less than two weeks where I have to read an article about a business and write a short essay about the types of styles they use and stuff... not a problem in english but this has to be all done in spanish. AHHH! I will let you know how it goes. 

I am also playing on a basketball team here. Each area of the University creates a basketball team for the semester. So we have a team with all the exchange students. We are actually pretty decent compared to the chilean teams. Tomorrow we play in the semi finals! In the quarters we played a team and won 52 - 9. haha yeah it was a blow out. 

So that is about all for now. Hope you like the new sleek look of the blog. I am home in 78 days... but whos counting haha.
