Wednesday!!!

I never thought I would enjoy a Wednesday so much, but I guess whatever day you start feeling better is a great day.

Today was pretty fantastic with the exception of some screaming kids during school. I woke up and finally got back into some yoga, had a hot shower, (very exciting, trust me) and made my way to school feeling pretty refreshed. Cherry, Jan, Jorge, and I went out for some pretty exceptional Chinese food for lunch and then Jorge and I went back to school for part 2 of his GMAT tutoring. We are trying to help get him into the MBA program as MSU for next semester. He has both the GMAT and the TOFEL scheduled for November, so it is going to be a pretty strict tutoring schedule.

After tutoring, Jorge took me down into town to go grocery shopping via a ride from his friend who had even remembered me from the Lion incident at the circus. I'm apparently famous in Pacasmayo already :-)

We came back to church for the young adults bible study/ English lessons led by Cherry, which was actually a lot of fun. The guys are from 16 to 24 and definitely full of energy making the class kind of a riot. They each go around reading the bible in English and then Cherry tries to put it in to lamens terms for them. I pretty sure a lot of them don't really understand what they are reading or what she is saying for that matter. Paulo on the other hand is pretty awesome. They were supposed to go around the circle and tell me a little about themselves and he starts off by saying that he really enjoys languages. He completely reminds me of one of my friends, Jarrett that I met in the beginning of college. He just started learning English about 11 months ago and speaks better than most of the guys who have been studying for years. We ended up playing a cross between hangman and wheel of fortune but no one ever gets out and you don't win any money, but there is definitely some English learning going on. They actually get to use and practice their English, which is why I think learning a foreign language has been so hard for me in the past. I never had the desire or even need for it until now. I was never around anyone that didn’t speak my own language.

I definitely have the desire and the need right about now so I guess I will be testing my own theory. Hopefully I have the capability because everything else is in place. No more excuses.
