Aah. Just typed this whole thing and my computer went whacko. Don't feel like recreating it but heeere i go!
Dancing was awesome! Most fun I've had this far on the trip, but found out today that I'm DEFINITELY not allowed, even though Nancy, my host madre, gave me the okay to go with Jhoselyn and some more of her awesome, decent seeming friends :P If I go again it's byebye Mia, byebye Peru, and back to exciting old Whitehorse! Definitely not gonna risk that!! The reasoning is that apparently you have to be 18, and sometimes the policia go and check for people's papers, and that can lead to an awkward situation. Little crazy. Wonder why they let me in in the first place? I definitely don't look very old haha, but I did notice that a lot of other people, who were obviously older than me, were carded. Weird weird but anyways, it was an awesome last time :P Startin to love dancing!
Today there was another AFS related get together at Louise's host family's house. We each had to prepare and present a food dish from our country. One of the Belgian girls Laetitia made the best waffles I've ever tasted. Not even joking! I wasn't sure what to make, because Canada is so multicultural. All I could think of was poutine and maple syrup, until mom suggested I make banana boats. Delicious and easy to make, and they're a camping food. Not a lot of camping in Peru, and people loved it. It's surprisingly hard to find tinfoil though! My host family didn't even know what it was!! Hahahaha oh my. Interesting.
Nancy spoke to Jose (AFS) about me wanting to go to University, and then he came and spoke with me. I really wish she hadn't, because I asked her not to so that I could wait until I've actually TRIED going to a few days or a week of classes in colegio first before even bringing it up. Anyways, he was a little apprehensive/weary about it, and said he himself cannot do anything, and that I must talk to AFS Canada to see if it's even possible to change programs, and that it's kinda a pain in the butt. I hate being a pain... I was embarassed too, because I didn't want to speak with him about it until I've tried it. He got the impression that I don't have a very open mind and such and aasdkajdslajdlsad. :( oops.
Forgot to ask him about whether staying in Peru longer means I have to stay until July, or if I can leave earlier, like April or May. Might have to say I'm doing the year program and then leave early. The Icelandic girl is leaving next month because it's just really not the right thing for her. Sooo who knows.
