Today was orientation for la U which was good. well actually wierd. everyone was from california and on some sort of program and only spoke english to eachother. but! I sat down next to the right person: Jorge, from Mexico City and one of the only 4 other people here independently. Which was perfect because we got along, both don't know anyone here, and only speak in Spanish. And another girl from Montana also "una independiente" found us and I think it will be a good trio to begin with. So, off to a good start, except that it might be more difficult to find an apartment since it's the middle of the school year. but there's always something to be found. The campus for art, social sciences, anthropology, and everything else I'm interested in , Macul, is pretty cool because it is an actual campus with places to eat and hang out and see music or have demonstrations and all of that, but it's a 20-30 minute busride, so a bit far away.
