Website

If you visit my school's website, you can see a picture of me and the other foreigners in the school. There is Sebastian the other Rotary exchange student from Germany, Sue (I don't know how to spell her name, but it sounds like Sue) from Thailand, and Jeff from Texas. He is here with some program to help the English teacher. My school website is http://www.colegiosanagustindeatacama.cl/ or the direct link to the photo and story is http://www.colegiosanagustindeatacama.cl/csa/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=161&Itemid=120

Chemistry

Today we had a lab in Chemistry. We attempted to make soap. Well, the lab has these porable bunsen burners that run off of a small gas tank. We were melting the lard, and something caught fire. When the teacher reached to turn it off, she actually turned it the wrong way and the fire got even bigger. It was really funny when some guys started to help her put it out, and they were fanning it, but since it was running on gas, it wouldn´t go out. In the end, the teacher put it out by dumping a bucket of water on it. That was the interesting story of the day.

Weekend






This weekend, Fabi and I cleaned the pool. On Saturday, Erika and my cousin Javier came over and we swept it. Then we started sanding...we finished on Sunday. My arms hurt so much. I have some funny photos, coming soon.
