Language program

So.. the staff brought me to my homestay... which is a cute little room behind their house... i get 3 meals.. hot shower... and im on the internet right now in their computer room (i was using the internet cafe a couple houses down until recently).. the host family is really nice.. we've managed to talk about our families and whatnot..

So for 2 weeks (week 1 is almost done) my schedule pretty much looks like this..
weekdays: grammer 4 hours, salsa dance class (provided by language program), lunch, conversation 4 hours, cultural visit 1 hr... dinner at home..
weekends: cultural visit 6 hours..

so to say the least, i'm quite exhausted... its also incredibly daunting and i have fears that my spanish language ability wont improve, etc etc etc.. but then its only been 1 week and apparently its pretty certain that it gets better, heh.. =) hopefully soon!!!!!!!!

i pretty much walk everywhere.. its about 1.5-2 miles to the school... 1.5-2 miles back...
for cultural visits thus far we've gone downtown... to some catholic churches (amazing and beautiful by the way)... today went to otuzco, a cute traditional peruvian town with an amazing church... as a general rule, i dont talk much about religion.. but i'll just say i'm not catholic.. so thats been an interesting topic when other people bring it up.. ive ridden the public transport system (this buses called micros) once..
