Okay... so I have spent the past two days visiting classes and it has been tiring. Yesterday I looked at classes at Catolica and La Chile. On my way to Catolica I took the micro... i asked the driver to tell me when to get off... he forgot. I wound up twenty minutes away from Catolica in kind of a bad neighborhood, it kind of set the mood for the rest of the day. My first class at Catolica was cancelled... typical chilean style. The Class and La Chile was hard. Calculus 2... since I have taken Calculus 1 I should understand Calc 2... no... I guess not, they used all these funny looking symbols which I did not understand. So no Calc 2... Here I have noticed a lot more tolerance for PDA... in class. I am not sure how professors in the US would respond to people kissing and touching each other in the middle of class but here they dont seem to care...

Anyway, Today was a little better... I visited Classes at Catolica again... the first one was really good. Its called confronting poverty and the professor seems very engaging (and understandable) so I think I will take it. Next class seemed interesting... development of Chilean politics.... but was extremely boring. The professor was a constitutional lawyer but was very strict and not interesting or exciting at all... so no Im not taking that class. The last class I looked at today was cancelled... typical... oh well. I meet some really nice german girls waiting for it...
I must go... ta ta
