So, what to talk about tonight... Well Tonisha and I had the plan to do aerobics in Parque Kennedy today, but those plans fell through. I slept in and Tonisha and I didn't really contact each other so we didn't go. Maybe next week though. I really am excited to check it out. At first, I felt guilty for not going because of the brownie and ice cream I had last night, but then at lunch my host mom said she thought I had lost weight. To me, that just seems strange because I'm eating sweets 24/7, but she said it was probably from dancing. If that's true, then I guess that should be a life lesson. Stay active. It's good for your health. :) I still think she's crazy though. I guess I'll never know though, well I won't know until I get back to the states anyway because having scales in the home is not a customary thing. The only time I've ever seen a scale here was in the street. A guy was taking money so that people could check there weight. Next time, I see a guy like that I might have to take him up on his offer. ;)
Anyway, my host mom and I stayed in for lunch today since she's still sick, she actually is sounding better though. We had a pretty quiet lunch though, I didn't want to make her talk to much. In the late afternoon, I went to Café Z by myself in order to get some reading done for my Ethnography class. I actually got a fair amount done. At first, it was difficult to read because I was too busy trying to listen to Spanish conversations and I'm pretty sure the Shrek soundtrack was playing in the background, but then I was able to focus on the book. The book is actually pretty interesting so far. I'm just worried for the Spanish book that I have to read, too. Plus, I still haven't figured out the whole PUCP library situation. We get suspended every time a book is returned late. Well, to avoid this you can renew the books online. I went to renew my book online yesterday, however, since midterm week is this week, it's not permitted to renew books online (which, of course, I didn't know). It's quite frustrating actually, because I don't have Ethnography at all this week, because we're supposed to dedicate the time to reading our two books. Well, not that I would've actually spent that time reading, but still now I don't have the option because I'm going to be suspended from the library for a couple of days. It's pretty frustrating, but I'm not too worried about finishing the books (yet).
For dinner, my host mom and I stayed in again and she made this chicken that I really like and we had more of a conversation. Her voice is getting so much better. She actually sounded pretty good tonight. I'm hoping that I don't catch anything. Apparently this is the time of the year in Perú where a lot of people get sick. So far, I'm feeling great though. Everything is going great so far, too. I feel pretty accustomed here, but sometimes it hits me again that I'm in Perú!! And I've been here for two months! It's actually a pretty strange feeling. I feel pretty comfortable here, but at the same time, I know it's not the United States. I love it here, I love that the sun is coming out, and I love that I'm experiencing so much (and not missing out), but I know I will be excited to come home, too. I hope that all of you are enjoying and loving your home right now, too. Don't take home for granted! Some people don't even have a place to call home. We are all lucky to have homes, whether it be a physical place and/or the people that fill it. Remember to thank God for the homes you have and thank Him for the people in your life.
Buenas noches. :)
