I'm in PSYC101. It's more like BIO001 today. No, not BIO101...dumber than that! Oh! We just learned something interesting about the brain! Everything you see is upside-down and backwards but the brain flips it for you. There are a certain kind of glasses that cause you to see things upside-down and backwards, but after wearing them for so long your brain will adjust and you will no longer see things that way until you take the glasses off! In which case, your brain will adjust again! Cool. Ok now we're back to boring. Profe better not yell at me for not paying attention in class...I am paying for this class. If I don't want to pay attention that is up to me! He's still getting his money. I miss Chilean classes. Oh! Interesting thought. Today I my professor forgot to bring a pen to class. He had to ask a student if he could borrow one. My thoughts? Ug. How unprepared. I can't believe he just asked if he could borrow a pen from anyone!" Then I realized that if this scenario had occurred in Chile I probs would have smiled and appreciated how laid back the classes were that it was ok for a professor to forget a writing utensil and not be ashamed to borrow one from a student. Way to contribute to the culture you claim to hate, Rachel :p Back to Chile. I really miss it. I just want to inhale Chilean air, be followed by stray dogs, walk for hours up the beach, listen to Spanish all day long, look up at the shimmering lights on the cerros of Valpo at night, find odd things en la feria, fight for free education, and spend time with my long-lost friends. Not to mention skip classes and have half my classes canceled or rooms changed to the beach! But being here is good too. I'm loving the fall weather (although spring is my favorite and it's spring in Chile right now!). My classes here aren't killing me. I love helping out at Thrive (church youth group) and the Squarebean (now family owned coffeehouse!). Also there's this pretty great guy here ;) I'm surprised I got this far in my stream of thoughts without mentioning him! Really I do try to control my thoughts and guard my heart...but he's broken in and wrapped me around his not-so-little finger :) The best I can do, usually, is turn my thoughts to prayers. It's a pretty good discipline for life in general. I highly recommend it. Ah class has now ended so I suppose this stream of thought will too. Have a good day, all!
