My awful attempt to be interesting and my classes!!!!

Well. Blogging on an iPad isn't really fun so I don't enjoy it. So I am trying to remember everything to blog.

Day 4: some of us went to catholic mass and it was. You guessed it. In Spanish. Which was cool. I don't remember what else we did. Oops. That night the group went out while mea and I stayed with the two boys and watched them. It was fun after tanner stopped crying haha. The boys now love us two so that's super fun. I love playing with them.

Day 5: ran. We all had a chill morning. We went shopping for souvenirs for friends and walked all around the city. The fab 5 did which was grand. Then a bunch if us went tithe mummy museum which was so cool. They did a fab job of explaining Juanita for us. So when we finally SAW HER IN PERSON it was pretty spectacular and just a once in a lifetime experience. That might we went to 'the royal chicken' and was soooooo yummy and American haha

Day 6/7: we started class!!!! I combine them because it's the same basically. So I have 3 classes.
My first one is beginner college kids. Like. Super beginner. The teacher is wonderful and let's me contribute in class and asks my help on pronunciation.
My second class is intermediate. Like. Beginner intermediate. They are different ages. The teacher is not as much of a free spirit but is just as wonderful and wants mento help already. I grade stuff around the class and am already making stuff for class!!
My third class is a bunch of 15 year olds and is mid beginner. So all the girls love me and love my tattoos haha. The teacher is letting me start to do small portions of class already which is stellar! I can't wait.

So. Yeah. The routine is wake up. Run. Breakfast. Chill/lesson plan. Lunch. School for 5 hours. Come back and chill. Dinner. Chill/go out/or for the grandmas go to sleep.
I love it so much. I love my students and their interest in me and my mutual interest in them. I can't wait to see what our different relationships in my classes look like! I know we start meeting with our mentor teachers soon so that should be fun!

Today is day 8 and I teach a little for the first time and am a little nervous but excited for the experience!!

This weekend We are all going to cola canyon and Danny and I are embarking on a trekking adventure. As in. All the Peruvians are impressed that we are gonna attempt it. They keep telling us it's only for the fit and I classify myself as that. Hello. Two marathons. It's 7 hours intense hiking day one and 5 hours day two. We are pumped. And. I'm a little nervous since we speak no Spanish but the guide speaks English thankfully. So. Cheers to hoping we get back! (Joke......) #triouradventure this weekend has your name all over it!
