I want to apologize for again getting extremely behind on my blog. And I also want to ask your patience once again. I’ve had a crazy/wonderful week (camping this weekend) and tomorrow evening I am leaving for San Pedro de Atacama, a 23 hour bus ride north of Santiago (we are hoping to spend a day in Bolivia which would be amazing!). But before I leave I have a test, and an essay to turn in. So I’ve been a little distracted lately and my blogging has taken a back seat. But I promise to update as soon as I finish my other test and 2 more essays I have to do the day after I get back from Atacama!! Basically, October 2007 might go down as the craziest month of my life!
The only thing really exicting that I want to fill you in on is LITRE. Its is the Chilean version of Poison Ivy and is equally horrible. I assume I came in contact with it while I was camping and for some reason it decided to attack my face. Apperently it is much more common to have litre on your face, which makes me feel a little better. But I woke up Monday morning with my eyes practically swollen shut and my entire face red, bumpy and burning. Olga took me to the hospital where I immediately received a cortisone shot and antihistamine pills. I am already doing better but my face is still a little red and it still itches a lot. For those who are interested, here is a webpage about Litre:

Alright, I’m going to go finish studying for my Education test tomorrow. Much love and I’ll be back in about a week!!
