chilllaaay!

Studying with my coat on, ok so maybe the down fur coat is a little bit exaggerated for some, but I'm not cold anymore!! (I am a fairly cold person anyways!!) It's fall here, which means the temperature has dropped, during the day its about 60-65F but at night it drops to about the 50's.  Although inside the house is much colder.  Electricity is super expensive here, and nobody can afford to put on the heat, my family doesn't even like when I turn on the lights during the day!! (If there's enough sunshine) This has opened up my eyes to how spoiled we are in the states.  My family and I hang all of the clothes on a line, wash dishes by hand, take short showers, and only use the lights when necessary to save money.  If you want to take a long shower, you turn off the water when you use the soap on your body, or you turn off the water when you are shaving, than turn the water back on. This part of Chile, I will not miss!!! (But still a great experience haha)
