A day for the record books!

Oh, today was a record-breakingly fun day! The morning began at Colegio Claretiano, where (SURPRISE!) I taught about quadrilaterals! No, I was not told in advance that I was going to teach and I had not ever seen the material, but I have learned from the past few weeks, so I wasn't suprised this time when I found out that I would be teaching. And it went quite well!! One of the things I should probably do over the weekend is think of a joke. Because they kept asking me to tell "un chiste en ingles!!" (a joke in English). So... if anyone has any good jokes... I need some!!

From Colegio Claretiano, I went to the university. I had to go to a meeting about taking the Oral Proficiency Exam, and then I had about 45 minutes until class started, so I found some friends, Fuller and Scott, and chilled on the lawn with them for a bit singing Christmas songs!

And then we went to class, and it was quite interesting!! The class is Analisis de la Realidad Peruana. There are only five of us in the class, but I wish more people were able to take it, because it has helped me understand so much of how things work her in Peru.

Later on, in the afternoon, I met Fuller at Starbucks and put dreadlocks in her hair. She has wanted dreadlocks for a very very long time, and I explained to her that I have absolutely NO experience with dreadlocks, but she still wanted me to give it a try.

And then, after dreadlocking, I met my friend from conversation groups, Alonso, at the university because tonight was the night that I got to be on the radio!! This is a nightly program, and Alonso occassionally is the host of the show. And tonight I got to be a guest!!! It was super fun!! We talked about Arequipa (food, places, people...). During commercial breaks and while the station was playing songs, we decided what we would talk about durin the next segment. It was such a fun night! Before and after the program, I had a great time talking with Alonso. Sydney and Amy were going to join us, but, sadly, they are both a bit under the weather.



Oh God, thank You so much for today! I had so much fun!!
