Smile and Nodd

WOW. So I´ve been to two classes so far...let me tell you about my experiences. YEsterday I went to a painting and drawing class....yes, I am taking an art class..haha. So I get there, and the prof talks for about an hour...not bad so far...and just as i think i´m off the hook, he asks us to do an aptitude test and draw a picture of our hand. SO everyone whips out their special pencils and paper and furiously starts to work on their masterpiece...I on the othe rhand, rip out a page from my planner along with my mechanical pencil and try unsuccessfully to draw my fingers....lets just say my drawing skills still need some work. Today i have to draw a tree...should be interesting. haha.

This morning I left the house at 7 for my 8 :15 class because i wasnt sure where i had to walk to take a colectivo. Well, I succesfully caught the colectivo at 7:30 and made it to my class with time to spare. HOWEVER, apparently its an accomplishment if the profs even show up...ours was 30 min late. I am the only exchange student in the class and am quickly learning its VERY intimidating to approach large groups of people speaking in a different language who are all about a foot shorter than you. SO in class I learned that we don´t actually use books or really ahve any tests...of course i could´ve gotten this wrong becasue everyone was talking over the prof. Oh Chile. So now i´m killing time for the next 6 hours until my next class (the last one was supposed to be 3 hours but we got out 2 hours early. haha )

I suppose that is all for now. This weekend we are going to Pucon to climb a volcano. Should be sweet. Chao for now!

So, um maybe you should get your supplies before class starts huh? Just a thought. Get some of those fancy charcoal pencil and a sketch pad. OH so cute! Hey don't be intimidated, remember they are shorter than you. Walk around and roar like Godzilla and then proceed to stomp on a desk. They wil get the idea....
