Monday May 10. Today was a late day. We had a comparatively late start today as we woke up and had to be ready to leave at 10:15 am. We partied hard so that was quite fortunate for us. We went back to the University, the same place we went to yesterday. We had a lecture on the history of Chile. It was intended to be a brief overview on all of Latin America, with a focus on Chile in particular. We went to lunch after the first lecture, unlike last time, when we had lecture, a 5 minute break, and then another lecture. After lunch, but before lecture #2, we went to the computer lab, where we had to wait for a Chilean student to get us access to the Internet. It was somewhat difficult to adapt to the different setup of the Chilean keyboard. In most waays it was similar but to a regular keyboard but there were some key differences that got in the way. We discovered that the second lecture was going to be a bit longer than we expected it to be when our professor skipped about 70 slides, felt our anxiety and restlessness, and decided to turn the lecture less formal and more conversational. We found out much information about his personal life. Other than the fact that he is very fluent in both Spanish and English, he has done quite a bit of traveling. He is a very smart individual and he inspired me to try and learn Spanish.
After the second lecture, we had group presentations about companies that we will go and visit during our trip here in Chile. These are presentations that we have done before so it wasnt too bad. Then after the presentations we went to reggeaton class and had quite an interesting experience. According to one of my classmates, during the lessons, "the girls lost and the guys won. The girls got owned." After dancing, we came back to the hotel, went to get some food and went out again. Closely following that, we returned to the hotel and I came back to write for my readers.
