Why is blogging so hard?

Again, I have fallen behind on my blogging responsibilities. No excuses, but let's just say that there hasn't been much to say.

Chances are that if you are reading this: 1. You are really bored 2. You enjoy torturing yourself and 3. You are friends with me on Facebook. My Facebook fotos are a pain-free way to see what kinds of things are going on here, in Santiago. For example, the Tufts group went to Valparaíso last Saturday. Six of us decided to spend the night in an awesome hostel, take advantage of the nightlife there.
J. Cruz is the alleged birthplace of the Chilean chorillana and it's located in an alley in Valpo. Being the comilones that we are, we had to go. It was a great fun for us, but not so much for our arteries.
Chorillana:
Fries, fried onions, fried eggs, steak bits
After staying up until 5am on Saturday night clubbing at Huevo, a club with 3 levels and a terrace, we crashed. Our hostel was really comfortable and a nice place to stay. I think it makes the top 5 list of our whole trip.

On Sunday we hopped on a bus to the sand dunes in Reñaca, about a 20 minute ride from Valpo. We hung out, had an enormous photo shoot and then headed back to Santiago. That wraps up last weekend.

This week was pretty normal. I did go to the theater with my host mom on Wednesday. We saw "Las novias de Travolta." It had nothing to do with John Travolta, and I still don't know why they called it that. They probably just wanted to attract some attention. It was pretty good. It was a comedy, so I thought I wasn't going to be able to understand a lot of it, but it wasn't that bad at all. I guess the acting was great because I understood most things. The whole play was basically "Sex and the City" on stage with a lot more comedy.

Oh, I almost forgot. My internship has been a fiasco. I was trying to find something in the business world down here in Santiago because I think I might want to do something with international business. I thought living here for 6 months would be a great way to get a taste of working abroad. The people who help us find internships have zero contacts in the business world here. After searching for 6 weeks, I finally found a great internship opportunity at Deloitte and Touche teaching English and working on youth leadership programs. I have been told that I have the internship, but who knows when I'll actually start. This internship is for credit, so I need to get on that ASAP.

Hope you're doing well,
Dan
