First day of class!!

...those exclamation points are so insincere. Hahaha, now the fun is over. Actually not really. Our professors are wonderful! One´s name is Roberto Hozven. He´s hilarious and said he talks loud and slow because he is how the americans say "hard of hearing." Really entertaining. Dr. Tapia (our Chilean professor) said he really puts on a show for the "gringos." That´s what they call Americans in basically any latin american country.

My other professor is named Mabel. She also wrote our grammar books, how intimidating. She´s super nice and we learned some phrases native to Chile that are called "Chilenismos." Some are kind of scandalous so I won´t share them, but she had us laughing. Something about potatoes...anyway.

Talked to Grandmommy today : )

One funny story, it´s my favorite and I annoy alex because I tell it everwhere I go. We were driniking some juice in San Pedro (way overpriced juice at that), and we started talking about how watermelons (they´re amazing here) are negative calories. As in, it requires more calories to eat them than there are in the the fruit. Then I piped up with my favorite piece of trivia which is that celery is also negative calories (humor me, I´m aware everyone knows that) Then Dr. Tapia turns to Dr. Cass and said HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! And all three of us, except Dr. Tapia were like....ummm ¿Cómo? (what) Even Dr. Cass was like...um I´m going to need you to explain.

Dr. Tapia said again: Happy Birthday! Still confused, Dr. Tapia says...you know Apio (celery) Verde (green)

So what sounded like HAPPY BIRTHDAY was actually GREEN CELERY. Man I love corny wordplays. Haha.

Pictures soon? We tried to find a computer lab today and were unsuccessful....
¡Ciao!
