Camote Sweetness

Okay, due to the fact that Edward loves anything sweet and loves to buy little treats for us. Every once in a while he will stray from buying the usual skittles, starburst, and ice cream and bring home something decadent and wonderful. Something like Camote Ducle! I haven´t figured out how i´ve missed this wonderful piece of sweetness for almost 2 years but it´s the most wonderful, melt in your mouth thing ever. It´s pumpkin in small chucks that have been candied, sweetened, not sure how it´s done nor do i really care. It cruchy on the outside and gummy on the inside. Oh it´s lovely!

Sleeping in Public Spaces

On my routine Tuesday and Thursday, I have this wonderful break for almost 3 hours. I have taken the best of care with this time by doing planning for classes, catching up on emails, filling out forms, reading, researching, etc. But for some reason this lovely 3 hours has turned into to a lazy, struggle. I have spent more time trying not to fall asleep reading my book on the school´s outside bench, downstairs couch, and  sitting at a computer screen in the computer lab. The special lullabye of computers and lights humming is winning. 
In Santiago, during these hours after lunch, this is actually totally normal unless you are on a bus or metro where this snooze is totally acceptable and impresive at all times of the day. Possibly I´m becoming Chilean or maybe just old and tired, no it can´t be it, not either. I need a nap... I need some inspirition, maybe Martha can help or some inspirational videos on youtube, possibly I should eat less so then at least I´m constantly bother by the grubble in my stomach...any suggestions?! Oh thank goodness, the head computer man, George just put on some Spanish rap; this will help without a doubt. He must have caught me dozing :)

So, let´s see how this goes...

This is my first blog and we´ll see if I can keep up with the all the fun and not so wonderful, daily and weekly happenings of my life. I´ve always felt like things that happened my life were entertaining enough to be on camera so maybe it will work the same here. And better yet, for all of you that I don´t get to see or talk to everyday...we can all feel a little closer. I supose it could be too much information but definitely a good look into my world. So I hope to have something eventful by tomorrow, not likely but you never know.
