Friday night turned out to be a little more adventurous than I had planned. A lot of the other students were talking about going to a beatles cover band concert so we decided to join them. I'm pretty sure every single person in the program was there so it was fun. Laura and I didn't stay for very long because 1) They started an hour late-love Chilean time.. 2) It was so smokey in there I could barely keep my eyes open let alone breathe. 3) They were lipsynching so really we got the point pretty quick. Especially since we couldn't see the band. Anyway we stayed till halfway through before we decided to go home. We're both pretty lame and we were tired. Luckily it had stopped raining (it was tsunamying again all day and we had already gotten soaked once) so our walk home was nice. We were so proud of ourselves for staying out till almost one in the morning! We always laugh at ourselves because we are sooo laaame.
The only guy I could see and only if I was standing on a chair.
Laura and her beloved beatle....She stole this picture..
Natalie and I
Our third attempt to get both of us in the picture failed so we gave up.
I'm telling this story backwards because that's the order of the pictures. Before the beatles we went to a movie showing at the school. We felt all cultural because the movie was in French with Spanish subtitles (which I could actually understand. High five anyone?). It was an interesting movie. I'm going to sum it up for you:Seraphine is an older french woman who works as a maid.
She can also paint.
Her painting is discovered by a guy who likes paintings(?)
The guy encourages her to paint and buys her paintings
The guy has to leave because of some war (because he is german)
She keeps painting
German guy finds her after a few years through her painting
The guy helps her sell her paintings and sets up art shows
Then he bails on her before any of it goes through
She goes crazy and eventually dies.
Yeah I didn't say it was a great movie. There were a lot of random characters that showed up without explanation and not a lot of talking. However, like I said, I feel like I put myself out there and tried something new and I dont regret going. This is a true story though and the paintings are really cool. You can google them.
Tomorrow we're going on an adventure to a German restaurant brewery place. I'm trying to be more social. Also everyone says the food is amazing. I need amazing food. I'm all toasted out.
Glad to hear you got out on a little adventure! Sounds like you had fun! Your unlce tried to send you a video to your cell phone and then remembered that you couldn't get it. He said he will try to email it to you instead, so look for that in the next day or so :) Let us know how the German brewery place is. Keep getting out and trying new things that's what this whole thing is about..Have fun!! Oh and your uncle thinks he remembers your Aunt talking about the movie you watched...I thought that was funny. Take care..oh and we're going to try to figure skype out so we can call you :) Love Ya!!

F.Y.I. you get your "lameness" from your father. Your mom happens to like adventure. I like my alone time but I also love to be social.....Okay, so maybe I don't like crowded noisy, smokey bars but I do like to be social. And, yes I do get tired by about 10p.m. but still I like to be social. Maybe I have a hard time being around a bunch of people that I don't really know and I want to run and hide but still, I'm pretty sure you get your semi-anti-social behavior only from your father.....ha ha
