First Week
I have to write a journal as a requirement for the program I came down to Peru through, so I figured I'd do it on a blog to let everyone at home know what I was up to and how I'm doing, and I would definitely love to hear from you as well.
Well its been about a week now since I've been in Peru and I think I've had an easier time adjusting here than when I went to Seattle last summer. It has been really nice being able to practice my Spanish hopefully it will be much more improved when I come home in August. It also helps that all the people here are great. The people in the apartment and the lab are absolutely wonderful and extremely helpful. This week went by a lot faster than I expected it to, and I'm hoping that's the case for next week. It is kind of hard though without TV since I'm missing the LOST season finale. It's starting to get kind of chilly here I wish I had brought warmer clothes with me. Might have to go the store and look into that. Me and Jess, who came with me from U of A, went to a department store yesterday and all the prices seemed pretty reasonable. So far my experience with the food has been good, I have yet to get sick (knock on wood) and I also have yet to have anything I didn't like. Well tomorrow's another day at work then Dr. Sterling is taking us and another lady who's in charge of field research here to an Italian restaurant that he says has better food than they serve at Italy. He's also taking us salsa dancing afterwards, he told Jess it didn't start till 11 so we might be there till 2am and if we could handle that which i thought was kind of funny. Well there will be more to write later.
