So I should probably mention school..

After all, I am here for a Study-abroad program. I have two classes per day M-Th at an 1 1/2 each. I am taking a Conversation and Composition class, International Relations, Chilean History, and a Grammar class. All are going great. International Relations can get a bit hard as it dense material and is from 5:30-7pm. Grading is hard. The Chilean university system uses a 1-7 scale with 7 being the highest. A five is considered a good grade for Chileans and seven almost impossible to get. However, for us, a 4-5 will transfer as a C to our home universities. Often for two small errors you will be dropped to a 6. However, I am getting along pretty good and my padre is always willing to check things over. I do have all my bibles with me: grammar pages from the UofO lesson books, conjugation book and cheat sheet, hand-outs, and the all-important dictionary.  I've pretty much got a handle on campus: where my classes are, the extranjeros office, good coffee, the rec center, the bank, the library, and the garden. The rec center is funny. I've been a few times for free salsa classes which takes place in pretty much a big hallway. The "rock wall" is just the outside wall on the building. I don't have too many pictures of campus as I'm trying to fit in, but here's a few:
