Before you all get your panties in a knot, let me explain this one thing:
Nothing is certain in Chile.
All of the information about my placement, school, etc is very tentative. And everyday I discover that I have interpreted information incorrectly.
For example, I will not be teaching at an Engineering school. I shared my info packet with my temporary Spanish teacher today, and she pointed out that the title of the school was named after an ex president. The name of the estableshment is "Ingeniero (which does mean engineering to prove im not a huge ditz) Jorge Alessandri Rodriguez" And I feel like an idiot because I know who Alessandri is. (remember I checked out many books at the CP library before my arrival...including books with their political history)
Ingeniero in this context solely serves as his Alessandri's title, since he was also an Engineer. Thus, I will not be teaching at a technical school. I will be teaching at un Collegio Basico (k-8th), and most likely 4th-8th graders. (phew) I was sweating at the thought of teaching a classroom of high school, male engineers.
I have 2 more days of orientation, una fiesta grande, a night of dancing, and a day exploring the untouched hill of Santiago (ie. San Cristobal, granted the smog levels are low)
