I have arrived

Yesterday we got to Chile around 11:30 but did not get to Vina until 3:00 or so due to a few complications with airport security, it's kinda a long story but in short, don't bring an apple through customs in Chile, especially without declaring it. We road the bus for 1.5 hours from Santiago to Vina and met our families. Basically we got off the bus and went our separate directions. It was pouring the whole day yesterday so it wasn't really a good time to stand around and chat. Today started out cloudy but now it is sunny and warmer (in the sun).
My apartment is pretty basic but nice. There is a living room, dining room, bathroom, office, 3 bedrooms and the smallest kitchen I have ever seen. My room has a bed, closet, dresser/desk, small table, and a tv (with vcr).
This morning we got a tour of the campus. There are a couple buildings, a courtyard, a library, etc. It seems nice and look right at the ocean. School starts on Monday!
