-Class all day as always; spent a lot of time working on my paper and finishing it up; had a meeting with Alejandra, one of the program directors, to go help edit my paper
-Tried to go get a pedicure and made an appointment, but was refused service because the woman at the desk couldn't find my reservation and didn't believe me and then proceeded to be super rude to me; Customer services isn't really a thing here...
-La Piojera and Miercoles Po with my friends!

-Nothing all day; there were protests and stuff and I was tired so I didn't go to class or do anything all day. Super productive!

-My mom is coming to visit in a week and we have a nice dinner planned at a hidden restaurant called Dugnad, but since the restaurant is small/private you are required to pay beforehand, so I had to go to the bank to deal with that. Then I went to Las Condes to the Fiscalia to deal with more stuff for my stolen phone. I have to go back in a week. Because I was over by where my former host mom Ximena lives, I decided to give her a call to see if I could stop in and say hi. So I did that and got to meet her son Diego who was visiting from Canada and also see my friend Keku who is back from the US. Later that night, a few friends and I went to the most amazing electronic music festival called Creamfields. Highlight of the night: being front row for Zedd at 5am. It was quite an awesome experience!

-We all slept at my friend Biz's house because we didn't even get there until 6:30am. We spent the majority of the afternoon hanging out and making mac n cheese because we were all craving some American food. For dinner, I met up with some friends for our friend's birthday dinner. I couldn't stay for the party afterwards though because I was so exhausted from the night before, so I headed home.

-Working all day! Take home final due Tuesday! We are in the midst of the final weeks of the semester, so now I finally have all my work due and am extremely busy. Good news is that my mom gets here in less than a week!

Until next time!
