So today, as part of the anniversary thingy at Sr de la Vida, there was no school. So, Jhoselyn asked if I wanted to go to university with her. It was awesome! She's studying administration, which is a litttttttle bit boring, but it was way better. All the people are more my age group and a bit older, and it was way more interesting. She told the professor that I'm going to be studying there hahaha so it's a bit confusing. I helped with the work today and yeah. I loved it! Each day you have one class. Today it was admin from 1-6, and tomorrow it's something I forget the name of, but I have to go to colegio uggh. And monday is math! Which I actually kinda love, and you don't need to know the language to know the numbers. But I better wait until I've actually had a few days of classes in colegio before I ask about switching programs. But now I'll be missing 3 days or more of university, and i've already missed a week, and we have to talk to all the professor(a)s and yeah. Confusing. But it's soooo much better!!! Kind of like our version of highschool, while their "colegio" is more like our version of elementary school. I hate being reminded of those days! Crossing my fingers though! Although I'd rather study engineering or architectura (the only cool sounding options)
GOD it's so hard not to be taking pictures! It actually hurts me to not be able to take my nikon d5000 out on the street for awesome public shots of city life and rural life of Peru to show you all! Last Sunday the father took me on a drive through the farmlands and rural part of Chimbote. It was awesome ! But I already get stared at enough, and I don't want to be robbed and screamed at. Some don't like getting pictures taken. And people already think that all gringos are rich. I don't wanna seem like a tooootal tourist. :( The culture shock is incredible. Sometimes I feel like a ghost. Other times I open my eyes and feel like I'm being hit in the face with a wall of disbelief. It's amazing. Most incredible thing I've ever done. I wish I could explain it better !! Most life changing experience ever. Even if I came home right now (FAT CHANCE! no offense..), I'd have learned a thousand things about myself and how I learn, grow, adapt, think about, react to, solve and accept things. Breathtaking, like actually. But I have to go to bed. Colegio manana means I gotta get up at 6ish.
Love you guys !
