| Our New Apartment!!! |
Hello Everyone!
Sorry to have been disconnected for so long. March was MADNESS and my job ate me up completely several times over. It was fun and exciting but SUPER stressful what with 110 new international students, 90 applications in my inbox for next semester, a group of 34 students from Purdue University who I chaperoned/led/hosted for several days of the week they were here, 110 students dropping and adding classes as if adding and dropping were as simple a process as blinking your eye, and over 100 emails in my inbox for the entire month of March. There were several last-minute planning nightmares (changes and almost-cancelations) but in the end everything worked out all right!
Love, Kaia

Thank
goodness April is here! Now things are finally slowing down. I am
organizinging this semester's International Fair (April 23-24), next
Thursday I am hosting the first Chilean Movie Night at the university
(the film "Machuca"), and I am planning the rest of the semester's events
while sending acceptance letters and preparing for next semester's batch
of students -- already!
These photos are long over-due but I hope you enjoy them! I love our new apartment! Oh, so much.
Lukas
and Antonio are finally getting used to the apartment. I usually come
home for lunch (it's a 10 minute fast-walk) as Antonio has been making
me lunch! We take Lukas out about 4 times a day and he has managed to
charm the entire building and neighborhood with his tricks, adorableness
and perfect behavior. I can even take him without a leash! He listens
to us SO well
and sits patiently in the elevator (although I'm pretty sure he still
thinks it is a closet we torture him with by making him wait for two
minutes before letting him outside. :p
Antonio
is 7 minutes walking from his university and is enjoying his second to
last semester of classes. He will begin looking for a job soon as he is
beginning to feel cabin-fever in the apartment all day! It's been kind
of a hard adjustment for him from living in a house in a neighborhood he
grew up with, but we went back to visit his Dad last Sunday and had a
wonderful time with him.
Antonio's Dad even gave him a big hug on greeting him and offered to
give us his bedroom tv since we don't have one (we declined for now)!
Distance makes the heart grow fonder, as they say!
I
will write later but need to get to bed now. So tired! Zumba classes
started again this week at the university after work and I am now going two times a
week, instead of once a week! I nearly died after the second class
yesterday. Amazing how many muscles we have -- I feel several I didn't
know about! :p
Love and hugs to you all!
