seis punto tres

So I officially completed and passed my first class with Chileans. Passing is a 5 average in the class, (I think. Someone told me it was lower...I'm not exactly sure.) The highest you can get in this grading scale is a 7 - which I don't think happens much. Kind of like an A+.

Anyways in my Spanish lit class I have had three grades... the first in class essay, first take home essay and the last take home essay. (Haydee decided to let us not do the last last final essay since she thought it would be too complicated, haha.) Anyways I got a 5 on the first essay, a 6 on the second! I finally got to pick up the grades from the extranjero office and I can't tell you the relief to see a 6.3! Especially after I thought I hadn't written a very good paper. I honestly don't know if Chileans would consider this a good grade or not... but I'm incredibly incredibly happy. I did it. I passed a class with Chileans. Now let's see how Art History comes out....

Anyways update on the traveling... I'll be home August 2 but got some traveling to do in the mean time. Andrea and I will be traveling up north to see some penguinos and some desierto. Then to Peru! We're going to La Serena, San Pedro de Atacama, Arequipa, Cusco, Aguas Calientes y Machu Picchu and Lima where I will be flying out of to my home sweeet home. I'm way stoked about Peru. But I'm also dying to get home and simply be with my family. I've "started" the process of moving out. I have to do this interview today for my journalism class which I hope will be relatively quick and not time consuming as I have a lot to do by Saturday.
