29 days left

That's right... I have only 29 days left in Santiago.

It's a little weird to think that I have so little time left in Chile. I know it will go by very quickly. Everyone at school is starting to discuss how they feel about going home and I'm getting mixed emotions from everyone. Many of my younger friends aren't ready yet to go back to the states, but the older ones are getting to the point where they are counting down the days. Those students (like me) with definite plans after studying are itching to get back to their normal lives.

Well, I haven't been doing a whole lot since I wrote last. I was sick last week, but went to the doctor and I got on antibiotics. I'm much better. I took a midterm on Monday and did very well, which surprised me, because I didn't study a whole lot. We have 6 chapters to get through in my Spanish class before our final (we spent two months doing 8 chapters, and we have 29 days to get through the last 6, you get the picture) so I have begun really hunkering down to cram in all that I can for my last 3 exams. I want to get really good grades so that I can bump up my final GPA number that will define my entire undergraduate college grades.

Yesterday, I uploaded my resume on a couple job hunting websites, however the sites with better jobs for the Iowa City area, do not work in Chile. It is kind of annoying. Actually, a lot of U.S. websites don't work outside the country. So, I won't be able to apply for a lot of jobs until I get back home. Good news: I was contacted last week for an internship with Summer of the Arts in Iowa City, but I haven't heard anything since I told them my availability for a phone interview. The internship is unpaid. I'm sure I'll be able to help them in some way... it'll look good on my resume too.

Anyway, I'm going to get some homework done. Chao! Emily
