return to the living

I´ve been away from my computer for the past two weeks. By which I mean my roommate´s computer. We moved in with her parents and the 18 yr old girl who cleans for them. In a very small apartment. So I am glad to be back in my own space with my awesome roommate who is away like 18 hours hours a day. The apartment is mostly finished except we have no doors anywhere, even in the bathrooms. So that is entertaining.
Still no job. Well, I had a job but that class ended and they said they are giving me another class but it hasn´t started yet.
It is getting cold here. I wear three layers of clothing to bed. Ideally, I would be in Philly for the summer and Lima for their summer. But I guess I can handle it. My family is coming in two months. I am excited.
I´ve been having a good time. What have I been doing? I don´t really remember. Ok, I finished teaching my english class the first week of June. I made up this test that I knew everyone would pass. One girl didn´t but I passed her anyway, because my boss told me to. That was a little depressing. That weekend I went out for karaoke with some peruvian girls I met at church and my friend jessica (american) I met in my spanish class. It was really fun, I had the best drink ever, marique sour. I forget how to spell it. Sort of like a margarita but more sour and more delicious. Jessica and I sang english songs really badly and the other girls sang spanish songs a little better. Last weekend Jessica, Jorge and I went to this club to hear spanish bands play. Well, of course they are spanish. We are in Peru. But lots of bands play english music too. Sometimes people talk about the cost of expensive things in terms of dollars, too. Because they love America, I think.
OH! And sometime last week Jessica took me to an english-language used book sale at this church. It was so exciting. English language books are a little scarce and pricey, so this was a total score. I brought some books with me, which I´ve read at least twice since I´ve been here. I bought ten books, from Much Ado About Nothing to Edgar Allen Poe to random novels I´d never heard of. I just finished ¨Down Among the Women¨by Fay Weldon. There´s also a book exchange next week for even more books.
I saw Dan in Real Life in the theatre, which they renamed in spanish ¨me, my brother and our girlfriend.¨ I love that movie. We also saw . . . what´s that blockbuster? Oh, terminator. It was pretty good. I´ve also been watching nineties tv, namely 90210 and ally mcbeal. I love them.
