so yes, it actually is only the third week of school. and because of odd scheduling and a holiday, we have yet to have a normal week. even today there were some classes cancelled! but, here is what my schedule is turning out to look like: mondays and fridays at 8:15 (eek!) i have América Latina en el Siglo XX, a history course. apparently, it's more of an economical-political-history course. we'll see. mondays at 3:40pm i have Historiografía Chilena, which is pretty specific but in a cool way. I think I'll learn more about the discipline of history than history itself. It'll be a good course for the language too because we have to read and respond with about three pages every week. Speaking up is supposed to be important, but that's so hard for me!
tuesdays are my fun day: danzas tradicionales, modern dance and then an internship with kids with developmental disabilities in the afternoon. Wednesdays i have Culture, Literature y Sociedad Chilena en el Siglo XIX. We've had cool readings for that so far! I also will meet with an advisor on Wednesday's as a follow up with that internship--we work alongside it and it's a class! Thursday's I have modern dance and then the internship again for four year olds! And friday only that early early morning class.
In a week or so i'm going to fit in a yoga class to do with my Chilean mom, Susana. And I also am going to work on my Kenyon thesis with an advisor here! I just want to get some ideas going, get some interviews in--i should take advantage of sources like that while i can!
I can't believe there is so much time left, and yet i can't help but feel like it isn't that much. Not after 8 months now! I only have four more to go. I guess that's a comforting place to be. I know it's a bunch of time to enjoy myself here, but not an overwhelming amount! Winter is coming and i'm looking forward to that! They're sunny and briskly nice here. Once it arrives, i'll have my temporal proof i'm rounding up a full circle of year down here! woah
