Hello from Santiago, Chile! The above photo is from yesterday’s day trip to Portillo Ski Center. Today I am writing the 14th edition of these Checking In posts, which is just two months after I wrote the last one. Let’s get to it!
Making: lots of plans for the rest of the summer! I am currently in Chile and if you haven’t read my recent posts, I am not really enjoying it here. I am SO ready to go home and do all of the summer things so I am planning for that. Also- lots of exciting travel coming up! I have been busying myself with making these plans so that I don’t go nuts here.
Cooking: not much! I have literally eaten nothing but brown rice, salads, oatmeal, eggs, and cheese for the last 3 weeks. I am very much looking forward to a nice BBQ when I get back!
Drinking: water. disgusting water. The water in Santiago is gross. Yesterday I took a day trip to the mountains and it was much better there.
Reading: I just finished Educated, by Tara Westover, and it was a great read! I tore through it in a few days and was sad when it was over, but it was hard to put down. It’s hard to believe that there are people that live the way she did.
Wanting: not much right now! actually that’s not true- I want to go home!
Looking: forward to Sunday, when I will be home. I am also looking forward to lunch- I am hungry! Also, I am really looking forward to this upcoming year! I think it will be a great one and we have so many exciting things coming up that it’s hard not to be eager for it to all happen!
Eating: nada at the moment, but for lunch I have brown rice with sauteed onions, zucchini, sweet potato, and half of a burger (just the patty) from a restaurant on Sunday.
Wishing: hmmmm, not sure.
Enjoying: rewatching Gilmore Girls with my coworker here in Chile. We don’t have much to do at night, so we have been working our way through a few episodes of GG each night. I HATE the feeling of wishing time away, but Gilmore Girls has been a nice time filler.
Loving: that I deleted Instagram. Life is better without it, I promise!
Hoping: that our flight has NO delays on Saturday and my flight to PHL is also not delayed. Also, hoping I get a window on our flight to Miami…. PLEASE!

Feeling: excited for the rest of the summer, anxious to be home, ready to be done with this experience.
Wearing: Nike sneakers, black jeans, black sweater, and a vest because it’s COLD here. Also matches my mood 😉
Watching: Gilmore Girls.
