Dave N.: On the other hand, the time the police brought me 6 bales of marijuana — that had literally been put through a hay baling machine — I felt the person transporting it deserved not only a felony but also a prison sentence.

Or possibly bailing. My spelling has taken a turn for the worse.
This morning I booked a flight back to SF, leaving in two weeks. This will give me two weeks at home before leaving for the continuation of this trip in Buenos Aires at the end of August.
Ten years ago, mere stubbornness (sp?) would have forced me to stick out the full five weeks here. Thankfully, as I get older, my actions are not completely governed by being stubborn. Now that the decision is made, I feel much better about my remaining time here in Chile.
Tomorrow I am slated to do a one-day excursion to valparaiso with some of the other students - actively looking forward to this.
Fellow wordizens: please don't think less of me for baling. Sometimes discretion is indeed the better part of valor.

You're bailing out, I think, unless you now propose to bale up your hay.

I think in Sassenach-speak it would be bailing, but in sionnach-speak it definitely lacks about five-nine more consonants. ;)

Whichever word one uses to describe the process, I think there is something fitting about the fact that my flight out is scheduled for August 15th, a date that all good Catholics will recognize as the feast of the Assumption. That is, the day that the blessed virgin was assumed into heaven. I just want to be assumed to Toronto via the friendly ministrations of Air Canada, and thenceforth back to San Francisco.
Where maybe, to celebrate my return home, I can go bageling at the Holy Bagels shop in Noe Valley.

That's Santiago's scallop's way. All roads lead away from Compostela. Too far a field! How unbaleful by stars! Baling usually clouds the way (Milky Way)

May you be crowned with a diadem of stars, foxy.
*suddenly wonders if there are Greek Orthodox-style iconic images of a sionnach with a crown of stars*

Some of the factors which contributed to my decision to bail early:
Santiago, on notice! .
That, and the fact that the level of instruction at the school I'm attending is so poor, it defies credibility.
*is very tempted by the possibilities of photoshopping a diadem onto foxy self-portrait*
