Australian Embassy

OK, so last night I went with Carla to an Australian Embassy event...pretty cool, dressed up, had some South Australian wine and munchies..talked with some Australians who are doing some movie in Chile and the different folks who work at the Embassy. Then I talked with a Chilean who is a head hunter of sorts, which could of theoretically been a great time for me to be amazing and have him get me a job...but the guy asked me what is my dream job, etc. well, I figured out after I got my dream job and worked it for a few years that all that matters with a job is how you go in every morning. and I do not know what I want to do with my life. here I am off in Chile, learning Spanish, a new culture, and hoping to get any job when this guy is quizzing me! grrr...so I bombed that quiz..should I of lied and said my dream job was to get the dogs off the streets? or lower the polution rates of Santiago? hmmm, oh well...then last night I really could not sleep cause I was thinking about job stuff..and one idea that popped into my head was that if I have a hard time finding a job I could volunteer somewhere for a bit(maybe US Embassy, doesn´t that sound swanky?). for a few different reasons my cost of living here is low, so that is plausible, and knowing me and my work habits it could turn into a job fast. oh well...

today I am going to lunch at Carlás prima´s house who lived in California for a bit, she and her husband know a good amount of English so it should be fun. Then I am going to take the Metro to meet Carla at the Embassy and I think we are going ot go Karoke!! ya for singing songs in a new language...

I helped Panchita, the youngest who lives at our house for a English Test and she got 100%!! Ya!

Want to here something funny? I met a Mexican buisness man and tried to get him to adopt one of the puppies..did not quite work out, but it was funny...
