The school year is coming to a close and we are busy as ever with our school schedule. It isn´t that the assignments have all been equally as challenging, but they all take an excessive amount of time to complete. Such is dead week I suppose. Not only do we have dead week left, we also have finals week and I am not looking forward to it.
This weekend was a Peruvian friends birthday and he invited all of us to go out and go dancing. We all had a blast and were saddened to think it may be the last time we all get to go out dancing together while in Lima. It is weird that half of the group is preparing to leave for the United States in less than two weeks, but also exciting because that means Lanisa and I will get to start our 10 day vacation to Argentina and Chile.
My dad comes in 12 days and I am getting more excited as the days pass...not only does it mean that I will get to see my dad, but also that we are that much closer to going home to Nebraska. I am starting to miss Nebraska a lot more as the time comes closer...but I also am realizing how much I am going to miss Lima.
This past week the only real adventures I have had have been with Lanisa when her computer broke two days before our final project was due so she had to take it into the Apple store here to see if they could fix it. Of course none of our Spanish speaking friends or family were available to aid in this journey, so Lanisa and I set off to Jockey Plaza all alone.
When we got to Jockey, around 11am, the store had not yet opened yet we had to walk right in and ask if they were open yet to figure it out...odd custom. Then they told us they would be open in 10 minutes. In true Peruvian fashion, it took them an hour before they were actually open. So with the crowd of Peruvians, we stormed into the store and to the computer part to wait in line in possibly the hottest room on the planet. We were being chatted with by a Peruvian woman, whom I am positive was complaining about waiting in line for so long (we had been there for at LEAST 5 minutes...sarcasm on the *so long*) But we worked our way through tagging each other in when one of us didn't understand the question or word and it was overall a learning experience...not a fun one but now Lanisa has her computer back and all is well!
Only one week of school left, and it definitely feels like it. I can't believe some of the people in the group will be home in 10 days! How crazy, I still have 29. But I am going to make the best of them because I know I will never get this time back! :)
I will have one more blog for you before the end of this trip...maybe two. But for now, cuídate y nos vemos pronto!
