Friday! Finally! I left my house at 8:45 am to get my my early and incredibly boring class of Development, Poverty, and Social Inequality in Chile class and am just returning now, at 8:30 pm on Saturday night. Classes started slowly, but I had my first interview for my internship after classes at 3:30 in Providencia. It was sad to leave school though because was a massive carrete outside our campus! Los Leones, the metro stop for the interview, wasn't hard to get to though. The interview was another story. One by one we talked to the representative for the Fulbright Commission for only about 5 minutes and then had to directly go and translate part of a document! It was a letter, and we only hard a paragraph each. It wasn't too hard but it was just sprung upon us! You know when you are given something to do, and you know you can do it, but you are just so thrown out of your comfort zone because it comes out of no where? Well, that's where I was. I think it is called 'anxiety'. After taking a few minutes to read it through, I settled down and did my translation, and felt pretty good about it too. Turns out it was a good job--I GOT THE INTERNSHIP! AHHH! I called my mom, who was at a fundraiser I believe, and then my dad, at both his cell phone, home, and work numbers. No one could talk! Looks like I have to make this decision soon though because I really do need an internship eventually.
The rest of the day, as I have now recalled, was spent at a carrete with Chileans and Becca I believe, and then I crashed on her trundle again. The next morning we went shopping with Lauren and Charlotte (the crew for Talca) and then I went to meet someone at Los Leones again! Almost everything was closed as it was getting ready for the Bicentenario rush. Ice cream and then back home again!
But it is all a little fuzzy now since it was about 10 days ago, but the rest of the weekend was spent celebrating the Bicentenario! Then we left Monday morning morning for Talca. See my Talca post for more! And tell me if I should take the intership at Fulbright or hold out for more options.
