day 30: wouldn't it be awesome...

there's a new game that was made up on our trek up to see some ruins and a mini waterfall last saturday called "wouldn't it be awesome..." in which you complete said phrase with something awful. for example, on this trek, there was a lot of donkey fecal matter. like a lot. you couldn't walk for more than a minute before finding your path littered with kaka de burro.

so you say:

"wouldn't it be awesome if this entire mountain was made of poop and you had to roll down it?"

2 PCTs came up with this game based on another PCT. it's the greatest game ever.

in other news, i found out there's a pool that costs a few soles to get in. i went with my family and some other PCTs and had a nice time. it also has a small animal farm where i poked an alpaca. let me tell you, i wish i had an alpaca for a pet cause those things are dirty but soft as what i imagine clouds feel like.

speaking of other news, i'll be going to ANCASH next week for field based training!!! 2 other groups are heading to la libertad and piura but mine is heading up to ancash, and i hope i love it because this is secretly where i'm kind of hoping to be placed. quechua is spoken in ancash; it's the native, oral language spoken in peru and i would love to learn it someday. but first, i will be working on my castellano because i was just recently put into language medium-medium, which simply means that i have reached the most basic level that all PCTs must reach prior to entering their sites.

of course, i would like to improve as i still have trouble with my conjugations but this will all come in due time.

there is a lot more to write and i wish i could chat for longer, but i have not stopped being exhausted and i'm about to skip my homework to go to bed. i will do my homework while wolfing down food at breakfast tomorrow. i admit to this freely and if any of the language facilitators are reading this.... please don't tell me teacher. pretty please <3
