home sweet home, part 2

I'm moved in! To my new house. First and maybe most importantly, the bed is perfect. jaja. Soft sheets, underneath a window. So lovely. It's nice to finally be in a bigger spacious room after living at Dennise's for several weeks. All my bags are still not packed, and looking over all of them I'm worried about making it all fit. My clothes have accumulated since first arriving. But it will fit!...somehow.

Last night I arrived and like all the other times I've come to have conversations with the lady I'm living with, Susana, last night was just the same except this time we said goodbye to her friend and I knew I was here to stay. I'm still so excited to live here with her. She's comfortable to talk to, and we have a lot of things in common, it seems. I'm thrilled by the thought of months more to really get to know her. I can't believe there is still an entire semester to go!

Last night there was another strong tremor. At this point I'm used to them coming and going, though every day you kind of hope they've finally stopped. But, it's also a good reminder that in other parts of the country, this earthquake is so much so still a reality and a horrible one. I'm happy to be able to forget that sometimes, but I know in some weeks I'd like to be a part of relief help.

Jeanie gets here in a couple of days! How fun it will be to welcome her! Chile part 2 on its wayyyyy
