Santiago Day 15

Ghetto beerpong in hotel diego de almagro! Haha

So today was probably one of the most fun exciting days this week. Yesterday I decided to change my mentality to “when will I ever be in Chile again?” and.. “I just took out a huge loan before I left so I’m BALLIN’!” hahaha. And so class was the usualllll, but lab was WEIRD because we took sample from our bodies and then let the bacteria grow! Just look..

Gross colonies from my nose L

And from my mouth.. leave me alone! I’ve been sick ):

My bacillus growing in my mouth.. EWWWWW! TO THE MAX

So after class the trip to the park was planned, but only about half of us went. I kind of liked it better that way because it was just enough to travel with, but not too many for people to be indecisive and it was easy to stay together in mini groups. Which is what happened! We got the bella vista and walked towards that goddamn hill. It was a 6km hike UP and me, Theresa, caroline, Darryl and johnmai got separated from the group because I guess we were going too slow. So we decided to try and “catch up” by taking these shady trails up the hill and it actually got us there! The trails were way muddy and had horse poop and cabanelleros on hores, and sketchy houses with bee farms, and it was just so TIRING! I’m not even sure how long it took us to get to the top but it was cool! Such a nice view and the giant statue of the virgin mary on the very top. We just took the trolley back down and came back to the hotel.

And so it begins..

Hey let’s take this trail! Can you even see them up the sketchiness?

On top of all this, I actually studied with the gang and it was fairly productive.. omg. Getting nervous for the test, because of all the events this weekend. I’m so tired!
