I just wonder sometimes

Why do I still live in Vitacura?
When I have to stay downtown all day, am I a prisoner of Santiago, or a freedman of Vitacura?
Is it even healthy to learn English at 8am?
How does wearing an ironed shirt change anything?
Am I already getting tired of city life?
Is Santiago the ‘real Chile’ because one third of the population lives here?
Or is the campo the ‘real Chile’ because it’s what I expected to find in a South American country?
If I change my course, is that a lot like giving up?
Will I ever finish anything?

mmm. i should maybe clarify that I don't want to give up entirely...I'm just more interested in South America than Metropolitan-could-be-anywhere-land. If I give up here, it will be to get to know Chile/South America outside of the chaos of the city.
