Classes

So tomorrow begins the first week of real classes. International students have to be there early in the morning for registration because it is first come, first serve. I am heading to campus around 5:45 so hopefully I get there by early enough to get the classes I want..which are: International Relations and History of Peru in the Modern Times. I'm pretty excited for them and I hope there is enough room for me. Then besides those 2 classes there are 2 required classes through the program and they are to work on our Spanish abilites; an Advanced Writing Workshop and Peruvian Social Reality. They seem pretty cool and it’s only the people in our program so at least we get more bonding time :)

Tonight there was a mass for my host mother's uncle who died one year ago and she wanted me to go so that I could meet most of her family for the first time. The church was huge and very beautiful! It was hard to understand everything that was said or sung but the sermon was about Salvation and I am pretty sure I was able to catch most of it (which I was pretty excited about!). My host mother's mother had 8 sisters and 1 brother and there are 5 sisters left and the brother, so I got to meet them. It is nice being a part of a big family while I am here and they were all very nice.

On our way home we drove by a Methodist Church that is closer to my house than a few others that I had seen. I am going to have to try and stop by there and see what time services are and see what it is like. Oh! and today I got to talk to my brother, Jason, his wife, Wendy, their daughter, Mara, and my other brother's kids, Allyson and Jacob, and it was amazing seeing them all again (well on skype anyway) and it made me realize that without everyone's support I would definitely not be here :) Any who I need to finish my homework and then get some sleep since tomorrow is going to be a loonnnggg day.
