Playing Sporty Spice

Hello All!
Maddie Thomas, Brooke Caldwell, Gracie Coburn and Kerri Councilman can definately contest to the fact that as a younger version of myself I LOVED the Spice Girls. We would play and dress up as them, and watch their movie like, um, every day when we were younger. Oh how I loved to play Posh Spice, (or, "sexy Spice" as I think she was for a while...) Brooke as Baby, Maddie as Scary, Gracie as Ginger nd Kerri as Sporty. It was always a toss up for me as to weather or not I wanted to play Sporty Spice or Posh Spice, but I always setteled on Posh because she had the straight brown hair (like me) and wore those "littul black dresses" that I always secretly thought were too short, but MAN did she rock them... So I played Posh Spice. But something about her was a little too boring for me, and for a while I just wished I could be ALL of the spice girls- cute like Baby, promiscuous like Ginger, craaazy like Scary, and tough like Sporty. Throughout these last few years, I think I have managed to pretty successfully fufill my dream, and today- I played Sporty Spice.
I am in this class that is about Human Movement. Originally I thought I would get some kind of Dance Minor credit for it, but it appears that that won´t be happening 1) Because the class is kind of a joke and 2) I would never be able to justify it to the CU Dance Department. But, reguardless, I have stayed in it beacuse, well, it is entertaining and the one time a week I can balance my bread intake with activities that do not include laying in bed or on the beach. So today in class we talked about games and why people play them, and what kind of games we play, etc... The Profe is very kind to me, and I think he loves the fact that I am a gringa. He was very interested in the kinds of games we play in the US as kids (which aren´t that different from the games in Chile) like "house" "tag", things of that sort. SO in class today we simulated the game "date" where someone comes over for a date (this is in my lecture, btw...). The date was me and Profe, and we "ate palta" and "talked about our days". How silly! I must say, though- it Was the first time I have dated a professor... Ha, only in Chile... Then, fot he next half of the class we palyed games like we usually do- basketball, volleyball and such (although sometimes we do obstacle courses or play piggy-back basketball where the guys piggy-back the girls... Que raro!) and as something new, we went into the weight room! We worked on all of the machines, and huffed and puffed lifting weights. Now, I´m not the most "athletic" person out there- I mean, I dance and stay active, but weights aren´t really my Thing. But, MAN! Some of the people in my class are way worse off than I am, and I find it so funny that they study something that they don´t apply into their lives (kenisiology and sports medicine). But, ha, such is life... So today I worked out, played a little volley with a friend, played Basketball with another and walked ALL around Viña, finally stopping to rest at the beach. I am home now for the first time today, and am prety tired BUT a friend of mine had a birthday yesterday, and we are celebraing tonight! Then tomorrow another full day, then Thursday my first day of teaching my sister and her friends English, then to Santiago this weekend! ...And school fits in there, somewhere.... (actually, I have been studying a lot for my classes and have realized that I do NOT have to hate Microecon- simply pass it and try to get out of it whatever and all that I can...)
So, life is gooood. Now I´m off to do a little partying! O Chile...
Chau!
