Monday: I don't start classes for the day until 3:40pm, where I start my day with Contemporary Hispano-American Literature. At 5:20pm, my Literature class ends and I go to my next class which is Communication and Culture of Chile. That class ends right around 7pm, where I then wait for the bus and go home.
Tuesday: My day starts at 10:05am for class, where I will start my day off with Chilean Poetry of the 20th Century. At 11:45am, I switch classes to Modern History of Chile. After history ends, I have a break long enough for me to go home and eat lunch with my host family and hang out and do some homework before I have to be back at the University at 5:20pm for my Communication and Culture class. Once Communication and Culture ends, I get to go home for the night.
Wednesday: My least favorite day for classes would have to be Wednesday because the day is just so long. I have class starting at 8:15am with my Contemporary Hispano-American Literature. I am not certain as to why the class meets at a different time on Wednesday from Monday, but it does and there are no other options for it. After that class, I have a bit of a break until my next class. On Wednesdays, I usually stick around the school and get all of my errands done for the day. At 3:40pm, I go to my next class for the day, which is Chile's Insertion to the Global Economy. After that class, at 5:20pm I have my Communication and Culture class once more for the week. At 7pm, I wait for the bus and head back to the house.
Thursday: Thursday is my Friday because I finish early with classes for the week. My day starts at 10:05am for class, where I head to my Chilean Poetry class once more. At 11:45am I go to my History class and finish for the day by 1:15pm where I usually go home for lunch and then hang out with my friends in the early evening and into the night.
My classes all seem very interesting, and I am glad I am taking them. My Contemporary Hispano-American Literature class is probably my favorite. The class has so much life and our professor seems truly passionate about the subject because he gets us to interact with the literature, and challenges our minds with in class questions. For this class, we have to read a book and we have about two weeks to finish it. The books are about 70 pages, so it isn't long, but the language itself is so rigorous because of the vocabulary used makes us use a higher caliber of thinking. My Communication and Culture class is very interesting because it makes us be involved and talk in class, but we also get to learn about the vivid culture we are living in. We get to do projects and read aloud, which really helps with the speaking aspect of the language. My least favorite so far would have to be my poetry class because, even though it has such potential with the object of being able to teach about Pablo Neruda or being able to dive into the words of Gabriela Mistral and Huidobro, we haven't. We have only learned the historical aspect of the poetry during the 20th century. My Chile Insertion to the Global Economy class is pretty interesting. The professor is very old, and knows his subject, but he lectures the entire time for an hour and a half. The Chilean History class is very interesting, and it allows us to interact with the history of Chile, as well as our class mates, because we do a lot of group work in class.

My classes are not too difficult as of right now, but that is subject to change in the near future.
