To sleep or not to sleep, that is the question
Yesterday I started my real classes and much to my enjoyment they were not as bad as I expcected. Medioambiente de Chile (environmental science) was not too bad, neither was espanol. The professor for Politicos y derechos humanos (politics and human rights) was a little hard to understand but the course sounds really cool. We are going to do an in depth study of Pinochet and his coup in 1973. Como hacer negocios en Latinoamerica (how to do business in Latin America) will also be pretty tough but its a fun class and hopefully I can get it transferred back as an econ credit. Now that I am settling in to a school schedule it is becoming increasingly difficult to continue to explore my new home and do the fun things around town. It has become apparent that if I would like to continue to do both the only thing I can take out of my daily routine is sleep. I have started to become a napper since it seems like I am always either mentally or physically exhausted. But thats perfectly fine because napping is widely accepted here. I can sleep for five or six hours and then take a nap when I get tired. I'm hoping I can survive the winter without getting sick and once september comes around I should be ok. Speaking of september the cinco gringos booked our spring break plans for our week long vacation the third week of the month. A couple days in Buenos Aires and then a 16 hour bus ride to Iguazu falls to see one of the largest waterfalls in the world. The trip had to be shortened a little because it is imperative that we arrive home by the 17th so that we can participate in the 4 day long independence day celebration. This year marks Chile's two hundredth birthday and from what I am hearing the party is going to be crazy. From fireworks to the Chilean navy fleet cruising around the harbor to barbeques galore lets just say I cannot wait. For anyone that is following or maybe reading a post here and there I would love to hear comments about what home or maybe an email. I have to go back to school now to start my community service that is part of my spanish class. Puedes dormir cuando estas muerto. Ciao
