One of the best parts about going on vacation in the Southern Hemisphere is that summer vacation is included. Today was my last day of school until March.
I've been really busy so I apologize for not writing sooner. Here are some of the things I've been up to:
A few weeks ago, my fellow inbounds and I got together to celebrate Thanksgiving, While for the North Americans it was a way to keep a tradition alive within our exchange family, for the Europeans it was a way to experience something new.
I cooked my mom's famous sweet potato and squash casseroles, among other things, One of the favorites was a big pitcher of sweet tea.
This month hasn't been too crazy eventful, but its nice just to be able to relax and have a normal life in my not normal home. My Spanish is definitely improving, which is an awesome feeling. I've been reliving my senior year with my college application process, of which the results have thus far been promising.
The Chilean Telethon was also this month, and I had a lot of fun going to raise money with the other students. The only US television event of comparable size and importance is the Super Bowl, so I was glad I got to be a small part of it.

I'm going to have to cut this blog post short because I'm about to leave for Punta Arenas, but I can assure you that I will take LOTS of pictures.
Cuidense,
Max
