So to answer the question that the blog's URL asks, I am currently in Santiago de Chile. So why am I blogging? Because I'm waiting for Liana and Jenny to finish showering so we can go out and there's free internet in our super cute hostel. First impressions of Santiago: it's pretty tranquilo, has charm, and is pretty much nothing like Buenos Aires--more like some of the cities in Ecuador and Peru. Flying over the Andes was awesome. Meanwhile, the Chilean accent is nearly impossible to understand, so so much for my confidence in my Spanish.
Two weeks from now I'll be flying home!

DONE!?!?!?
I am done with school for the semester. Technically I have been done since last Thursday at 12:30pm but I didn't know it because I was waiting to get my grades back. In two of my classes, I needed to get a certain grade to avoid taking a final, so I found myself briefly in this awkward/stressed position of not knowing if I was finished with everything or completely screwed (if I'd had to take the psicología social final, it could've ruined my already-planned Chile trip).
But DONE! It seems so strange but it's true. Which means I have little to do this week beyond soaking up the city and getting ready to go away. Then Chile on Saturday!
It is getting really hot and humid here. I whine about it but I can't believe it'll all soon be replaced with Northeast winter. I hear the snow has begun...
