ser mamòn o no ser mamòn
On the topic of choosing classes once again. I wish I could judge how much work my classes are going to be before I take them. Sure I can understand the professor. Sure, the class seems pretty interesting. That isn't the point. How much work is the class going to be?
Right now, I am currently registered in a class taught by a professor named Gabriel Salazar. I want to take this class because he is one of the most prominent leftist thinkers in Chile. All the hair on his head as well as his face is white and coupled with his booming voice, I thought that God walked into the room on the first day. However, I am almost positive that that class is going to be extremely difficult. So then, now what?
The other classes I am taking seem to be peppered with gringos. On one hand, it is comforting because then I know that other people are just as stumped as I am. On the other hand, it may be dumbed down for gringos as well. Examples: polìtica latinoamericana, analisis de conflictos internacionales y cine foro. Not that these courses will not be difficult, it is just that they have a bunch of foreigners in them.
I hate school.

dude, stick with the salazar class. when else can you take a class taught by an authentic leftist who's talked the talk and walked the walk. top

I agree with jasager. Take Salazar and do your best. I'm sure the grade will take care of itself. And if you don't get the grade you want, screw it. There's something much more important than grades in this life. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity that you shouldn't miss. top
