The power of BS

The power of bullshit.

I made friends through cards. I'm school for the first two weeks, I, along with many of the other students, found ourselves with much free time. One day, I remembered that I had a deck of cards stashed in my bag since the plane ride over to Chile and decided that it was high time that I put it to good use. So, during one of theses extended periods of emptiness, I pulled out my deck. What started out as a game of cards between Alex, an exchange student from Switzerland and I grew to encompass almost the entire class. It didn't matter that our spanish was poor or that they could barely say hello in English we were all able to build friendship over laughter.  I have played more games of bullshit and spoons in the past month than I have in my entire life. This I found to be the perfect bridge over all problems. It was extremely funny to watch kids win and lose and reactions caused by this. I now have amazing friends, both chilean and other exchangers and I have cards to thank for that.
