Update

Things seem to go by slow here, but fast at the same time. I caught a cold that has been staying with me for more than two weeks now. I went to the doctor today and got some medication...antibiotics. It cost about less than 50 American..so not bad, but still grumpy that I had to spend money to get well...just wish I had never gotten sick!

The teaching has gotten a little better. Last week was really weird in that I had to call in sick monday, left early Tuesday, the studens had ¨student day¨ on wednesday, no school Thursday, and taught Friday. But I met my teacher´s husband and after she proceded to tell me that they fight a lot. He works in a another mountain valley and so they only see each other once a month or somethig like that. She thought that he had anther woman on the side, maybe why they fought. She wanted to separate from her husband. At first I was very shocked to hear all of this, but it all kind of came together. She never seemed happy, always stressed. So I now know why and it breaks my heart. I feel really bad for her. I told her that she should talk to her husband about why they fight and that she needs to do what is happy. Unfortunatly, there is a little girl in the mix. Yesterday morning she told me that she did talk to her husband and things are a little better..but not perfect. I guess her dad even wants her to leave her husband. I just hope it works out ok, she´s a good perso, even if I don´t always agree with her teaching style, etc.

I actually played volleyball with my students today! volley ball is huge here, and every student plays. They are really good too! I sucked becaue I don´t play, but they were chearing me on...even if they were laughing a bit. But I do have a couple of male students that are really good at English and so they spent time with me today and we had a good conversation about music. I told them they should put together a cd of peruvian music for me to take home. lol!

I have a lot of bug bites all over me. my host brother was chiding me about how it was pulgas...aka fleas! i was upset..so i made sure to ask the doctor today and he though it was mosquito bites. whew! I found another scorpian trying to make his way into my room. The new joke in the house is that bugs are attracted to me....great. lol I´m meeting lots of new people here..a few are Americans so that is good! One from Canada whom I´m hoping to do some traveling with. The other volunteer living with me, Sharmila, is traveling for two weeks in October, so I´ll be alone! lol it´ll be ok. All in all things are great!
