I succesfully made reservation ever in Spanish, to go with 3 other students to the Concho y Toro vineyard outside Santiago. I have a huge fear of speak Spanish over the phone because it's even harder than in person. Admittedly it wasn't the most elegant conversation in the world but I'm excited nonetheless.
Schol is good. I'm talking more and with slower speakers I'm understanding more. I'm hoping to go out with my roomies (Maud and Helen) tonight as I haven't done anything at night in a few days. Looks like Maud is going to head South for vacation too so I'll have a week to myself to try and hang out with other Chilenos until Damian and Felipe get back.
Now I should really study, I have to memorize lots of verbs that require specific prepositions and there's no way around it...pure memorization. I also have to give a 10 minute oral presentation in Spanish tomorrow that I'm not ready for.
Tomorrow I'm taking the bus down to Valparaiso for the weekend. It's supposed to be a bit like San Francisco in climate and geography. I'll be sure to post photos.
