Trembol!

This morning I slept late because morning classes were cancelled for some professors meeting, and I was woken up by a loud noise. At first I thought someone had moved or dropped something really big downstairs, but then I realized that my bed had moved- as if one of the legs had partially snapped or something. I figured I dreamed it but then when I got up my host sister asked if I had felt the "trembol". We had an earthquake! (I guess trembol must mean minor earthquake, because the word is terremoto). Just a tiny shake though.

Other than that, a boring day, except that I finished Harry Potter 7. Spent all day reading pretty much. Then I had one class in the evening, which was pretty confusing- it was really abstract and the professor was talking about terminology and word roots- a little harder to grasp when you don't know all the synonyms and things in that language. But I made friends with a really nice French girl who I had met last week before we knew the class was cancelled last week. She is the only other non-Chileno in the class.

That is all.
Love, Katie

Our storms pale in comparison to a "trembol". Did you enjoy HP7?

Hehe oops the word was "temblor".

Anyway... HP7 was amazing. Could have done without the epilogue, but otherwise it was perfect!
