I had a lot
of experiences in the Faculty, but one was the most rare experience. That is
called: “Mechoneo”.
Was second
or third day of class, and in the afternoon, some Odontology students of second
grade closed the doors and painted our faces and clothes. Then we made a queue
and walked around the block of the Faculty while they dirty us with ketchup, pepper,
flour and other stuffs.
I felt
great and amazed, but little tired because after that, with a classmate we went
to ask for some money for the “Carrete mechón”. I met with too much people and
besides the headaches of the repetitive song “amalagama, tapadura, extracción,
radiografía…”. It was funny and interesting.
Were involved
the entire Faculty. In Chile, it is like a rite when you enter to study at the
University, at least at Universidad de Chile.
Do you want
other details? Like when we went through rubbish; or the octopus or when we had
to kiss a head’s pig? No, thanks lol.
