School Stuff

Well it´s Thursday and I´m just chilling out until Tom calls so we can go and study for our test tomorrow in literature. I started my history class yesterday, the professor was really animated so it seems like a really great class. It goes over Chilean history from 1940 to the present. My literature class ends tomorrow and my Development and Poverty Class will start on Monday I believe. I haven´t decided whether or not I wan´t to volunteer and help teach english at a Chilean School. I think it´ll depend on how hard my classes are at Diego Portales.

Yesterday night I went to a bar called Vicious for Catherine´s birthday. We met some Americans in another program that had just started and they came along too. We were going to go to a discoteque too but it got so late that the one nearby had closed. I ended up sharing a taxi with Julie, Tom, and Makiko. I was the last one dropped off. I noticed when I was giving directions to the cab driver that I had a really strong accent, not American accent, but some type of Spanish accent I think, which I hope is some type of Spanish one because it´s better then a gringo accent which sounds retarded. I think I can pull off a decent accent when I speak in short bursts rather then long periods of time just because I have to keep thinking about tense, syntax, and diction. After awhile it just wears you down. Hopefully as I go along I can develop a nice accent of some sort. Hopefully, a Columbian, Venezuelan, Chilean mix...
