Universidad Catolica!

So school has finally started (about a month ago) and has been the very thing preventing me from writing in my blog! So I am going to write about classes for this post, and post another one soon about everthing else.
Monday and Wednesday I am taking: 20th Century Latin American History, Economic Geography (possibly a mistake?), and Human Rights.
I love this history class, and economic geography SEEMS like it's really interesting. I can understand it a lot better than I could at the beginning of the semester though. The professor is also very nice and funny, which helps a little. We have a test next week and I hardly know what it's on! One of the girls in the class let me copy her notes though since I have trouble writing and listening at the same time. We have to write a research paper, so I asked her what a good length was. She answered, welll, it depends on the research. So I asked .....like 20 pages??? Noooo....more than 20.. probably more like 100. Which seems OUTRAGEOUS to me! I am going to ask the professor, and if I need to write more than 20..if so I might drop the class so I can actually have a social life here in Chile.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays I have "Espanol para extranjeros" (Spanish for foreigners) which has been very helpful!

Here are some of the views from Campus:
