Classes for real

First of all, my bus driver today looked just like a Chilean version of Dustin Hoffman. Pretty exciting. Even more exciting is that I finally got all of my classes straightened out and they're all approved by the registrar! Here they are:
General Anthropology - Wednesday 10:05 - 11:35
Introduction to Oceanography - Tuesday and Thursday 11:45 - 1:15
Spanish Communication and Chilean Culture - Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 2:00 - 3:30
History of Latin America: 20th Century - Thursday 5:20 - 6:50

Now, those of you who have been paying attention will note that I do not have any registered classes for Monday or Friday. This is not a mistake, and I do indeed have a four day weekend every week. However, I now need to figure out what to do with my free time. I am open to suggestions, and I hope my free time won't weigh too heavily on my hands. Please post you suggestions, and I hope that I will be able to accommodate them all.

  1. I Have a few ideas:
    birding, botanical gardens, running, smelling eucalyptus trees, hanging out with the family, eating fresh avocados, pelagic trips, visiting wineries, walking on the beach. You can go to Santiago on a weekend, see the historic sights, go to El Corral in the Alto de las Condes mall for the best burger in the world, chase pigeons, browse local markets.

    Sing karaoke, watch weird films in Spanish, go to the university's free events, take crazy pictures, swim in the ocean with your camera and take crazy pictures, play in the rain, make cool Chilean friends who will teach you how to dance to reggaeton or other latin music, go to a music store and buy a cd of chilean love songs (or better yet, go to a restaurant with live music and befriend some locals who will teach you their favorite songs), and learn them, complete with a chilean accent, and croon them to your girlfriend via skype ;)
    the possibilities are endless!
