Sunday August 26, 2007 Get 'er done

Sunday August 26, 2007

I went to church at St. Lazaro a few blocks from the house at noon. It was a beautiful mass and there was a special event for young girls. They all sat in the first few rows and the priest did a great job addressing them and gearing the homily to them. I’m starting to understand more and more of the readings and homilies in mass, which is wonderful. I still find myself drifting off, but I do that at English masses as well!

After mass I had almuerzo con Olga and her husband Mario. For dessert Olga and I had white wine with pineapple sherbet. Incredible! Olga told me its better with champagne and that for my going away party, she is going to buy champagne. I can tell that she is already dreading when I leave and it makes me feel so very loved!

At 3 o’clock, I plopped myself in my bed with my computer and set to work. I had to finish my essay for the 2 week Chile Contemporeano class that I took before the semester started. It was supposed to be 5-7 pages, the longest essay I’ve had to write in my entire college experience (remember, I take science courses). By around midnight, I had 7.5 pages and was quite pleased. I emailed the paper to Christian and he read through it for me, reassuring me that it seemed logical. I then started my two other assignments for my Education class and around 3 am I fell asleep, still not completely done.
