Lesson of the day: Never underestimate the speed of a braking bus (or, what I should have remembered about momentum from high school physics).
My bag has a pungent eau de la rue now.
In other news, climbed 16 flights of stairs and registered for a history class at the University of Chile. Its Wednesday and Friday mornings, but swallowed my tongue and went for it. I´m assuming its a big enough lecture class that if need be I can skip, right? (right?). Then scampered over to PUC San Joaquin to register for the psych class. Ran into another exchange student (the blue handbooks being the giveaway) who seemed inordinately happy to find someone who spoke English. Went to a lit course afterwards, and sat down in front of Archie´s g-town friend´s roomate, and across from a girl from wisconsin who knows the blockmate of some WHRB guys. I suspect there would be less gringos if I´d gone to History of Medieval Europe or some such.
Santiago in general- oh so 70s, its been agreed. No one wears seat belts, everyone smokes, Coca-cola comes in bottles and theres the Pink Floyd thing. All that pollution. Also, Manuela (who did let´s go this summer) came from Barcelona bemoaning the flourishing of rat tails and mullets everywhere, only to see them steadily encroaching here.
