In the summertime...

I've been shy about blogging, because there are many normal, somewhat mundane, days in Peru.

Today was a typical Monday with staff meetings and test reviews. I'm teaching Basic 9 this month which is a grammar review class. The most exciting part of the class this month is the fact that I have 15 students! My class had 6 students last month, and now 15. Though a little more stressful at times, I have so much fun with my big class. It might be close to the largest class here at SALI.

When I went home for Christmas, Peru was still a little cool. Peru is now hot. It is trying my patience to be sweaty and glistening all day long. Erin laughs at my new found edginess with all this heat. They don't have AC here, so those lame oscillating fans are my only source of comfort. I'm trying my best not to be too smelly, but am fairly sure I'm not succeeding. In my pursuit of relief from the heat, I got my hair cut. And the woman who cut my hair just happens to be the hairdresser for Miss World. Yes, Miss World is from Trujillo, Peru. I can tell you that I, unfortunately, do not look like Miss World even after such a grand haircut.
