Actually, that is what I should be doing right now. Basically, I should always be transcribing. But that will end soon. I have my last interview tomorrow. I shouldn't complain because it's only because I have had so many successful interviews that I have to spend so much time transcribing. One interview was an hour and a half long. This is all in Spanish remember. Transcribing takes forever and it's all really interesting and all, but it can also get tedious.
I have also been able to attend some really cool events related to my topic. On Friday I went to a Chilean Senate briefing on women in politics women's rights. It was super cool and I got to use my US House of Reps pen (that can write in outer spacer) to take notes at a Chilean congressional event.
I am going back to Valpo to do a bunch of writing and see friendly faces either Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning. I am still figuring that out. Santiago has been good to me but I am looking forward to being with the other students again in such a cool city that is so much easier to get around. Santiago is just so much bigger and although my house and host family are great, our house is a bit detached. Anyway, going back will be good but there will also be more distractions. But at the same time, we will all need to be writing a lot.
I am gonna go back to transcribing now.
