Today we had an orientation a La Universidad de Chile, better known as La Chile. Every study abroad student in Chile from around the world was there and it was very informative. Its kind of scary/crazy/exciting to think that I will be going to school in a Chilean classroom in one week! We learned about the Chilean government program called Ingles abre puertas or English Opens Doors, to teach English to Chilean students and I think I will volunteer for them a few hours a week.

After the orientation and tour of the main campus, we had a lecture on Chilean Cinema and watched clips from Sabado, La Sagrada Familia, and La Chacotero Sentimetal. All every interesting yet unnecessarily sexual.

I walked home after class, went to Mass to the church 4 blocks away, then came home for chicken parmasean for dinner. What a life right? Even more, I finally had internet!!! I talked with my real mom back home for over an hour. I miss everyone so much and it was great to hear her voice. What a beautiful day! Now I’m going to study a bit for my oral Spanish exam tomorrow morning then fall asleep in my nice warm bed!
