Hello Readers! Hope your week is going well, I know mine is off to a crazy start! School is going well. I’m busy, involved, and loving every second of this intense semester, but one of the things I didn’t expect to love so much is the classwork (crazy, I know, since the sole reason I’m here at Hope is to do be educated.) One of the classes I’m in this semester that I’ve found I love is my Senior Seminar.

I was inspired to write this post after reading accounts of content-independent learning by Maha Bali and others. Content-independent learning is promoted in collaborative learning communities where students have a significant input into the topics they study and how they study them. The course organiser does not provide a reading list and there is no canonical body of knowledge to be absorbed.

This fall semester of 2016, I picked to study abroad in Santiago, Chile, and so far it has been an unforgettable experience. Over the period of weeks that I am have been in Santiago, I have experienced a lot of positive, fun, and negative things, which are part of the living in a country with completely different culture, values, and mentality. Chile has been an amazing and highly valuable experience with full of ups and downs.

Manjar is something very delicious and very Chilian. It is only available in Chile and the closest thing is dulce de leche. People in Chile put manjar almost on anything. Donuts, cakes, pancakes, crepes, bread. Most people have love-hate relationship with manjar. It is truly delicious, but it is really unhealthy. I mean it has a lot of sugar! It has three ingredients: milk, sugar, and vanilla.

Santiago has population of 7 million people, yet the bus system, which the majority of people depend on everyday, do not have set times or a time schedule. A big majority of Santiago’s working class uses a bus or metro to get to and from work everyday. Many times the metro does not get people close enough, so they have to use bus after taking metro.

“Fast food” is not a term in Chile, especially referring to the world fast. I am not saying it a bad way at all. I mean it on the contrary. I think that it is very fascinating the way that Chileans approach fast food style restaurants. I have been only in two: McDonald’s and KFC. Also, I saw Subway and Dunkin Donuts as well but I have not been there and honestly not really planning to, since Chile has amazing local bakeries and cuisine restaurants.

In an era of severe budgetary constraints, colleges and universities have struggled to create new faculty workforce models that are responsive to the emerging needs of a new generation of diverse, nontraditional students. In fact, the traditional tenured faculty model has been replaced by a model in which part-time and non-tenured faculty play a more significant role.

I was sleeping and suddenly I woke up around 6 in the morning and everything was shaking. Honestly, I thought that I was hallucinating. My bed, night table, doors, and windows were all shaking for good 40 seconds. When it stopped, I felt the whole building moving left and right. I live in the third floor of an 18-floor apartment building, so that is why I felt the construction moving.
