winter is here
i eat lots of honey
i layer as if i'm hitting the slopes
yet i'm heading to duoc to teach a slew of...students
i miss sweatpants, cheddar cheese and dryers
and my spanish is "más o menos"
each day i feel more like i belong
here
is a culture very different from mine
but who's to say one is better?
i get tired of speaking on behalf of all americans
but i am a gringa living in
poblacion san marcos, talcahuano, chile
what i say and do is a reflection of US culture
"does everyone there eat jelly and cheese?"
"does everyone there have a mac?"
"college sweatshirts are very expensive. does everyone there have one?"
"you don't like mayo?!?!"
it doesn't make sense:
it's june.
winter is here.
