day number 10

Can´t believe I´ve been here for ten days.. seems like it´s been WAAAY longer! Yesterday at volunteering basically we cleaned up from the carnavale on Sunday, and then did some painting. I am so choked because I got paint on my raincoat and if it doesn´t come out I will throw something. I am going through clothes like no tomorrow because I wear either one and a half or two outfits a day, depending on how muddy the field is. Ridiculous. I totally don´t mind though as I founf out that laundry can be done at the family house!! SCORE. The kids were absolutely ridiculous yesterday throwing paint and chalk dust instead of water, I was like IT WAS OVER YESTERDAY STOP IT!! I wish I knew how to scold in Spanish cause like I am pretty useless in a stiuation like that if I can´t hahaha its kinda funny actually. Today was a normal day at the school, played some soccer, tried to salvage the last of my white shirts but ended up getting kicked with the muddy ball so no dice. I also got my pants SOAKED when I was sitting on the ground because Wilbert started crying (by the was that´s the first time I´ve seen anyone of them upset so far), he was playing with lego and there weren´t any sets of wheels left for his constrcution. I basically didn´t know how to say anything in Spanish so I built a lego bridge over his leg and then he was like SWEET!! And all was solved. THAT is problem solving right there. However the person who sat on my wet seat on the bus cause my butt was so muddy must´ve been like UM WHAT HAPPENED HERE? Ah well tough luck for them. I hope it was a dentist in white scrubs or something. After soccer we just did some puzzles and then were told not to come to volunteering tomorrow because there is going to be a protest and it will be ´dangerous´. Well WHY´D you tell me that. Now I want to see. So we are meeting at Maximo Nivel, the school where I take Spanish, in the morning to create a PowerPoint about the project!! For a number of reasons!! But basically to promote their needs and see if they can get some support! (Ormies and Dad, and anyone else who is interested, I am going to talk to the coordinator today to see what I can organize. Cause I can´t just do it on my own) Hopefully I´ll have more news later this week! Anyways things are still good, food is really good, I am still not brave enough to try ´cuy´which is cooked guinea pig. Local delicacy. Don´t even talk to me about it. Maybe if someone blindfolded me and told me it was an alpaca steak or something...
