Day 8: Soccer and lectures

We had an easier day. We had our final lecture at USM today and presented our companies to Jamie. We had a lot to discuss because we had visited Bosques del Mauco and got much more information than the website gave us. After presentations and our final questions to Jamie, we had our last lunch at the university and headed back to the hotel for a quick break before we played more soccer. It was weird for me to finally play this time because I haven't played soccer in three years, and I definitely missed playing it. We split the games up by guys and girls so us girls had a lot of fun joking around and playing while the guys took it seriously playing with Chileans again. It was a close game and we all took a few tumbles from either the turf or the interesting contact moments we had. After soccer we went shopping some more. Many people hadn't been at the mall yet and people wanted to look around and even try to get some of the types of the clothes the Chileans wear. They are always dressed up pretty well, and a couple of the girls wanted to get their shoes and jackets and such. Once the mall got a little too American for us, we went back to the tent outside too look at the hand made things again. We ran into a few girls that went to school in Arkansas and were studying abroad for 3 month. Their classes were actually in the hotel they were staying at and their teacher just taught from there. I personally would rather actually going to a university for classes, especially since they were Spanish majors and well versed in Spanish. Either way the experience would be amazing. I can't believe this trip is almost over. I keep realizing that we leave in a few days, especially since we had our last lecture today.
