Emmi and I managed our way to an mercado indio (indian market) earlier this week to buy some duffel bags for this weekend. There was no way our backpacks would be enough for 5 days in Cuzco and bringing back souvenirs. They are pretty cool looking, mine is a dark blue with little llamas and Inca drawings on it.
Tuesday was Courtney's 21st birthday so it was a day of cakes. Tres Leches is probably one of my favorite cakes now. Then Wednesday and today were final days. We had our pronunciation and writing final Wednesday and today was grammar and conversation finals. I think I did pretty good on all my finals so we'll see in August what my grade transfers as.
Last night our host mom showed us one way chebiche is made. Our host mom is so cute, she loves to model for our pictures when we ask :). She is definitely showing her personality more, she started to dance last night while she was teaching us, it was funny. It's really strange we wont be at their house much longer.
Tonight we are going out for Courtney and Winnie's birthdays (Winnie is another ISA student) since we were told not to go out Friday night because we have to be at the ISA office at 3:30 am Saturday to fly to Cuzco! I think Michelle said Cuzco is at 12,000 feet so pray I can handle the altitude change!
Today was pretty crazy after I got home. I was trying to take a nap and some how I received phone call from my new apartment complex (no one else has been able to get through to my phone this entire trip). They were calling to inform me that our new apartment wont be ready until August 9th instead of July 30th, not something you want to hear when you are in another country. They told me that they would put us in a hotel for the week (while we are still in summer school) and put our things in a storage unit, also not something you want to hear. And during that week Ashton (one of my roommates) has to go to California. We are definitely not thrilled about this. HOPEFULLY they are just saying the 9th for their benefit and we will get to move in earlier than that because moving on a Monday, in the heat, in between classes and work is no fun.
So my panic mode kicked in since you know I'm in another country and all I can't do anything about it so hopefully everything works out and they start building quicker (or even at night would be good too).
Other than that I am SO excited about Cuzco this weekend! We will get to spend all day Sunday at Machu Picchu! And then all day Monday and Tuesday in Cuzco. It's going to be a lot of fun with the entire ISA group and to just get out of Lima for 4 days will be nice!
Everyone have a great weekend! I'll be home in a week :)
