last night

March 11, 2011 9:27pm

I know that I am going to be safe. I absolutely do. But I am so freaked out. We took the bus up into the hill to spend the night at my host grandma’s house because it’s safer up here. To be honest, I heard that the region of Chile that I’m in isn’t even going to be hit by the tsunami, just the north and south. But I’m not scared for me.

I don’t want to wake up in the morning to find out that other people have suffered. I don’t want to take the bus back down the hill to realize it’s a good thing we left. One of my host family’s past exchange students is traveling through the south of Chile right now and we haven’t heard from her yet.  You should see their faces when they ask each other if they have heard from her. I don’t have internet right now so I’ll post this later but I love you all and appreciate you caring enough about me to read this.

And to freak me out even more, the room I’m staying in has the creepiest doll ever staring at me. I’ll post about the Shakira experience when I’m feeling more level headed.

my little sister was nice enough to move this for me
so i didn't have to stare at it all night

Send thoughts and prayers. The one year anniversary of Chile’s earthquake was only two weeks ago and I think they deserve a break.
