Autumn in Santiago


First time for me to experience autumn in Santiago. Even though the temperature doesn't drop below 5 degrees Celcius it does get chilly, especially after the sun goes down. There is not much rain though, which is a nice change from what I'm used to.


Today was the first day in a while that the sky was clear, we had low hanging clouds all week. During that time it must have snowed in the Cordillera, as you can see from the picture.

Two out of thirteen

Well, to be honest, I had thought they would do better. The test wasn't that hard, my students told me themselfs. But only 2 out of 13 got a PASS on this first test mainly about Maxwell's Equations (which means a score over 4, since over here they get scores between 1 and 7).

They promised they would do better on the next two tests, though....
