Today was our last full day in Chile and we spent the day hanging out at the University. Werner first gave us a presentation about attending the University. Then an exchange student from Belgium talked with us about her experience in a new culture, which was actually very insightful to see what it would be like to attend the university. This lecture got us all talking about the possibility of study abroad and I think that if I decide to study abroad in a spanish-speaking country, I would like to go to the Universidad de Santa Maria because everyone there is very welcoming of foreign students and it has a great culture.
We then ate lunch at the cafeteria again and had some sort of fish soup and filet with a flan-like dessert. It was interesting food to try, but it was not my favorite. Afterwards, we waited for a soccer/basketball court to become available. We decided to play soccer on two teams: one with mainly Chileans and one with mainly Gringos. Despite the couple of Chileans that ended up on our Gringo team, we still lost. But it was a really fun experience to hang out with some more Chilean students. After an hour long game, we switched to basketball, which I wasn't as good at, but it was fun to attempt to play anyway! After we finished, we tried to scope out the school store, except the only USM merchandise they sold was mugs. However, we returned back to the hotel and we are waiting to go out to our final pizza dinner with Werner and the Chileans as we spend our final night in Chile!
