and the semester begins

Well, today is the start of classes for me here in Chile...i´m off to a good start (i missed my first class!) but oh well i´m gonna go wednesday and get the syllabus and stuff and i have to read something for wednesday i think ah! i´m not registered yet but i´ve decided what classes i´m taking: Intro to Literature (Introduccion a la Literatura), Intro to Linguistics (Introduccion a la Linguistica), and Chilean and Hispanicamerican Narrative (Narrativa Chilena e Hispanoamericana) (all in spanish of course...i translated the names for you) THey shouldn´t be too bad cause two are ïntro¨classes but the narrative one is A LOT of work and A LOT of reading but i figured i´m only taking 3 classes which is way less than normal for me so i should be ok

So i´ve officially survived my first week here in Chile...man was that long! i still don´t have internet in my apartment so i´m at school right now using the Internet so it´s free and i can use it as long as i want! i think i´ve been here for like 2 hours already...

yesterday was fun! i went to the pool (la piscina)of one of my friend´s from Norway and like 5 other people came...so i met my first US citizen yesterday! haha but it was fun... we just kinda sat around and talked then went to the supermarket (el supermercado) to buy food to make lunch and it ended up being like 4 bucks each which is really cheap and we got sandwiches and chips and soda and ice cream and i ate so much it was so good! haha the food here isn´t too exciting and it´s kinda boring but that´s cool...i think i´m gonna lose some weight with all the walking and eating less food and it´s more healthy...we´ll just have to wait and see

alrighty well i guess that´s all for now, i guess there´s not much going on... i haven´t traveled much yet cause i need someone to go with but i think i´m going to a vineyard next weekend with a group of people cause supposedly the wine here is amazing... i want to go to Patagonia but it´s like 300 bucks for the plane ride and then you have to find somewhere to stay and that costs more anwyays we´ll see

alrighty time to go get some food and maybe a book to read yay
