Settling into Chile

Well, I'm getting settled I think. It took about 6 months but here is some evidence that such a thing has occured:

1) I have my own desk now.
Yes, for the first bit I did not really have a desk, or a seat for that matter. I was always borrowing somebody's when they were absent. But now, the Tutoria office has expanded and there is enough space for Jer to have a desk. The seat thing is still a grey area.

2) I have a coffee cup.
Today I went to buy myself a coffee cup to use in the office. I splurged and bought an octagonal one for about a dollar. It has a saying on it which, roughly translated, says coffee all the time. Perfect.

3) I sat in on a office meeting today. Although I understood very little of it, my presence was present.

4) I was mistaken for a Chilean today. Yes, I was as much surprised as you, dear reader. I was asked, "You're Chilean, right?" I should have said yes, but then my poor navigation in Spanish speaking and accenting probably would have been my betrayer. We talked a bit about the states though, his uncle lives(d?) in Miami. I gave him 100 pesos. Good times.
