Here is my oh so lazy school schedule for this semester!
Historia de Chile y America Siglo XX: Monday and Wednesday 11:30-12:50
This class is a history designed for geography students. We are studying 20th century Chilean and American history. The professor called role the second day and asked if there was anyone's name he didn't call. I rose my hand and pronounced my name, only to have to spell it out for him. He then asked which state I was from and with my response of Texas, he made a joke about Mexico that I'm not quite sure I understood. The whole class thought it was quite hilarious though. I am the only foreigner in my class, and have yet to really make a friend. That is my current goal for that class. Prospective difficulty: medium to high.
Geomorfología: Monday and Wendesday 2:00-3:20
This is my geography class on Geomorphology. It's more of a geology of the earth class, for science brains. Very interesting to me, a little bit of a review but in Spanish. Already had a quiz, which unfortunately I was very not prepared for. Apparently, I hadn't understood that we needed to read a chapter. And I may or may not have slept less than 3 hours due to a friend's birthday the night before. (Don't worry Mom and Dad, the grade will be dropped). Once again, I'm the only foreigner. Prospective difficulty: high to impossible.
Fotografía: Thursday 2:00-6:20
Ahh photography. This class is on a different campus, Campus Oriente. It is the art campus and rightfully so, it is beautiful. The building is ornately old with vines overtaking the plazas. The students all have a different style and I feel at peace while I'm there. The class seems good so far, just learning the basics. I owe this opportunity to my brother, Philip, for letting me use his film camera. I have met a fellow exchange student from California. Prospective difficulty: easy to medium.
So yes, that puts me at a leisurely 3 classes in 3 days a week total. Maybe I'll have time to learn another language.. like Spanish!
Semi-academically,

So glad to hear some news about school. But I'll have to admit that leisurely and lazy weren't the adjectives I was expecting, but I guess you're referring to your schedule. Your prospective difficulty comments present a good understanding. Maybe your geography class will study today's earthquake in Japan and any repercutions in Chili. Stay safe and study hard!!!
forgot to sign off and say love you forever, Mom P.S. did you get the camera fixed so you can keep taking those great pictures?
