Just kidding, today was not company visits, but instead more classes and a brief presentation session. After a much needed later start to the day, we once again took the bus to the University. Although it was another cloudy day, the scenery was still spectacular. At the University, after a bit of a delay, we started a class on Chilean business, although it ended up covering South American business as a whole. Our professor was very knowledgeable, and he did his best to cruise through his 180+ slide Power Point. Luckily we had a break for lunch in between sections of the lecture, and we got another chance to experience both Chilean food, and Chilean Spanish being spoken in the cafeteria.
After the lecture, each group went through their company presentations, and everyone was a bit rusty after a having a month pass since last giving the presentations. The additional factor of general exhaustion from all of these new experiences did not seem to help.
Now that I have returned to the hotel, I realize how tired I really am. With an entirely new environment, new experiences, and an entirely different culture, it is easy to become tired, but you do not notice it as you take everything in. I look forward to getting a good night’s sleep and being well prepared for tomorrow, as we have another full day planned. The experience is well worth the sleepiness, however, because everything we do-from classes to tours to dining experiences-provides me with a new perspective and an educational experience.
