Quierres ir RAFTING?
So I have become really good friends with the two girls that work at my Hostal. Elli & Caty. they are a lot of fun and help me practice Spanish and I help them with their English.
They asked me if I wanted to go rafting ( for like 15$). Because I dont have much planned and I am sort of waiting around to see what I could do I said yes.
Like hello I am such a scary cat, I wouldnt go rafting in Canada, but in Peru? What was I think.
So we went, Elli, Caty and Tom ( another dude that has been at the Hostal for a while) . It was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fun. It lasted about an hour and a half. We were all four in one boat and there was another group. the boat of the other group fell over
We did really well but Tom fell in once. The other two girls are kinda young so they kinda panicked I pulled him back in the boat.
I think all those years of canoeing with the rents did me good because our guide told me I had a really good stroke and really knew how to row :)
Jorge ( the guide) went and told Tom that he owed me a beer because I saved his life
What an awesome day!

Mucho Gusto Renzo!
So on Sunday I went to the plaza to soak up the sun a little.
I sat on bench. What I love about the Main Square is that Peruvians themselves hang out there.
I sat beside a young men. Some older man was selling something and came up to me and asked me if I spoke Spanish. When they sell something I don't speak Spanish.
After the old men left the young men beside me asked me if I spoke English I said yes. His English was REALLY good. He told me that he studied English for 5 yrs and now he studies business. Every Sunday he goes to the main square and hopes to find someone who speaks English to practice.
I thought that was fun. I asked him if he knew a place where I could take a Spanish class. He told me yes and that it would be really cheap cuz he knows the ppl.
So in the morning we went and we sat with the lady for like a half hour and talked about our lives.
I signed up for a 4 hour a week class, for 4 weeks, cost about 50$.
I am rather glad., my first class is the 11th!

I got my baby back
I just blogged all morning but I felt the need to share my stories.
Last night I got to ARQ and Otto called me to tell me my computer was ready. We met up at his school and then walked to a nearby coffee shop. In my head I thought, really? can you just give me my computer do we have to hang out? I know I sound a little rough but I am a little tired of being hit on or ambushed into dates
We sat at the coffee shop and he opened up my computer. I could not be more blessed! I regret ever thinking badly of him, he's just really sweet and respectful.
He recovered everything and added more. He put this thing where I can change the background on my desktop now and it changes picture every minute (you usually can't on a netbook, it was almost a deal breaker for me when buying my baby).
He also added a little game for when I'm bored at work. He added all this music,I mentioned once that the Beatles made me think of my dad. So when he showed me all the music he added he said '' when you miss your family you can listen to The Beatles and think of your dad''. He also added traditional ARQ music and some other songs that I really love from here.
He added Microsoft Word 2010, and I asked ' wait doesn't that cost money' and he said ' no not in Peru haha'. ( they pirate everything!)
When I asked him how much it cost he simply asked my if we could have lunch together today ( typical Peruano!) I agreed because I have my baby back and its better than ever.
I think thats all the blogging I have in me for today. I am off and I still have no destination for the next 3 weeks. I cant wait to talk to my hubby he'll give me a couple of suggestions I think.

He would have replied something and I...
Ruben the Spanish dude is very odd. Well no he's normal but I don't understand when he speaks. what's odd is that 90% of the time I say QUÉ?! I would have thought he would be fed up of hanging out with me due to this but NO.
This Thursday he's like lets travel back to AQP together. I am like OKAY?
So he left for Chivay Thursday night. I took the bus from Achoma Friday morning. So we meet at th bus terminal on Friday morning and hes like the bus is full. and I'm like why didn't you buy your ticket Thursday night? ( in my head not aloud cuz he would have replied something and I would have not understood)
He then asked me to ask the bus driver if he could just stay in the aisle. So I did and it worked cuz I am a chica. So after the what I thought was a very awk 4 hour bus ride with Ruben asked me if I want to eat with him.? So I said yes to be polite and also cuz Im not very good at making up excuses in Spanish, and he would have replied something and I would have not understood AGAIN.
So we go out to eat CEVICHE ( my fav) and again super awk not talking or when we do talk it's only me saying QUÉ and him repeating 5 times ???
And afterwards he's like do you want to come with me with my friends? And at this point I am just like I don't understand the words coming out of your mouth why do you want to be my friend.( again in my head cuz if I said it aloud he would have replied something and I would have not understood)
I told him I would call him later and I never did. I just can't deal with feeling stupid and for real I don't understand the words coming out of your mouth Ruben!

Reunion en la Manana a la 7
On Tuesday I walked into the office and those words were posted on the board.
Carlos turned to me and asked, are you going to be there? ( because I tend to come in at 7:15 :P) I smiled and said no I have class from 7 to 11. Gabriela the coordinator just happened to be there says '' Oh right because there is an event you don't have classes for the next THREE WEEKS''
THREE WEEKS, you tell me this the day before? Asi es el Peru!
So I am off until the 13th of June, where should I travel to?
Give me suggestions!

Willsito & Carlsito & comida
I usually do a little grocery during the weekend and bring it to the Valley so I have stuff to eat and so I can snack and also so I dont have to eat at the Comedor where you cant really pick ur meal. This week for some unknown reason I forgot my back on the bus. How dumb is that.
Anyway I told Will about it so he invited me to eat supper with him. So I had yummy rice and tomatoes and some delicious coffee. It was very sweet of him and I thanked him.
The next day I was talking to Carlos and told him the same thing, so HE invited me for supper aswell. Carlos cooked sausages, rice, eggs, fries and tomato salad. It was delish. We then played Jenga listening to random CD of totally GAY music like '' funky town and like a virgin by madonna''
While we were eating at Carlsito's, Will walked in ( without knocking? good thing we weren't making out, KIDDING!) anyway he walked in cuz he needed salt. And he looked at what we were eating.
The next day all three of us were in the office and Will asked me what meal I liked best. Carlos was there and said ''obviously mine, what did you cook her?''
It is so funny it is like an ongoing competition between the two and I am just there in the middle getting all the benefits of it.
The two other girls were gone this week so I'm glad the boys took care of me.

Carlito & Wilsito & regalos
Since I didn't have a computer this week I didn't do much work to be honest.
In the Teacher Salad. ( the teacher room, but in Spanish its Salada de profesor so I like to call it the teacher salad :) my desk is beside Carlos and beside Carlos is Will's.
Willi, Carlito and Corinita (me) are the ones the most often in the office. Most of the time I'm not working and Carlos either. Carlos is really funny, Im pretty sure he is a gay but doesn't know it. Anyway he is so funny.
So I have these Canada stickers and I gave one to Willi, and one to Carlos and some others to friends. Its quite funny cuz they all sticked them on the back of their cell phones. There are like 10 peruanos with Canada stickers on their cell phones, it makes me laugh quite a lot.
Carlos and Willi REALLY liked them. So I gave them about 2 or 3 each. Carlos filled his laptop with them and when Willi saw he wanted Canada stickers on his laptop too. And then Carlos wanted some on his radio. Finally I emptied my pack and the two boys.
The next day Carlos came to my house and gave me two really pretty bracelets to say thank you for the stickers. I thought that was so sweet. I kind of purposly showed them to Will and said '' look what Carlos gave me to say thank you for the stickers''. The next day Will came to my house with 3 hand painted keychains to also say thank you for the stickers. So I showed them to Carlsito, he said '' oh but you like my bracelts better tho right''. I laughed so much, it's like a competition between the two boys and to be honest I am so milking it

Tu disco duro es rompa
I have so much to write about I don't know where to begin.
I may or may not split up my post a little so people will actually read.
So where to begin...
Last Sunday night, my computer asked me if I wanted an update and I press yes.
Then I saw a blue screen of death and my whole screen went black. When I got to the school on Monday I asked Fernando the 'tech dude' to take a look at my computer. He did and told me to pull out the battery for 30 mins and see what happens.
I'm not a computer expert but I know that that doesn't help a thing. So I did what any Jones girl would do, call my daddy. Actually I texted my husband and told him to get my daddy to call :) I spent about 2 hours on the phone and he told me nothing was wrong with my hard disk its just a software issue.
Fernando told me it was my hard disk, Way to go Fernandito!
When the weekend came around I brought it to Otto, hes been working in computers practically his whole life and I thought well what the heck. Right there in his office he hooked up one or two things and the black screen of death had now became back to my regular screen with all my stuff it was like magic. There is probably a very logical explanation but I like to think its magic. Otto asked me to leave him my compy for the week so I did.
I then went out for a manicure, best 12s I ever spent it gave me comfort and made me feel beautiful.

Mierda Miercoles
This week has been total crap, hands down.
My computer died, I got a virus and I cant start it up. We got internet at the school but only on one computer.
We got news that our new casa is ready except we cant move in until another 3 weeks.
It is total crap.
The two others girls decided to leave for Arequipa thats how angry everyone is
I am not that angry I am surviving and I don´t see the point of getting so angry to be honest.
It is a little stupid that the house is suppose to be for us but that we cant have it for another 3 weeks because some other important ppl are going to use it. Peru is big on hierachy ( thats a word I have no idea how to spell)
I am still keeping my smile.
Life is good and I have an amazing husband that encourages me
Love u
Corina

Tu no hablas mucho!
This morning there is only Reuben and I in the office. He is quite nice but I don't understand anything he says. It's his birthday Friday. He invited me to come with him and his friends to Frogs. Frogs is a really nice bar with live music. We go almost every weekend.
Last night we did the cena. We made poutine for the group. The hard part was making the sauce but we did it mass or menos. We added sausage to our poutine. I liked it I don't thing everyone else did but at least its over and done with and we dont have to prepare anything like that again. Today we have to wash the dishes except there is no water. They think the water will come at around 2.. I feel like I'm in Africa. Oh well.
Tomorrow is Friday, I love Fridays. I am going back to Arequipa clearly although I really just wanted to go to Chivay this weekend but new girl ruined my plans. I am going to look for a school where maybe I can take classes on saturdays. In my lonely planet they say u can get a private class for 10S an hour.
Im sick of people telling me that I dont speak enough
Sacrifice is a strength
Yesterday Melanie was so bitchy I couldnt take it anymore. She went on about how she hates that she is always with someone and that she needs her own space. And then she made a fuss about the new girl coming.
Here is the thing about the new girl , she wrote us both emails and she seems really loca. Like she asked us dumb questions and stuff, I get it she is probably nervous. Anyway we told her we wouldnt be in Arequipa the weekend she came. Except she told Fiorela that we told her we would stay at the hotel with her and help her with her stuff. Fiorela asked if that was ok. Of course Melanie freaked out and went on about how no one helped her when she came and its not her job. So I was like fine Ill go. I told Fio I would go and that I would bus back with her no big deal. Fio was really thankfull,
The thing that bothered me the most is that Melanie went on about how 'je me laisse faire'. Really I dont get the point of being a drama queen in this case? Yeah for real I dont feel like doing it its not my job I wanted to go to Chivay this weekend but so what? Its a little sacrifice and maybe I do 'laisse myself faire' but someone needs to. And maybe its a good personality trait.
It upsets me that she said that, as if Im weak and lame. I actually think sacrifice is a strength. Its easier to complaint and to say no to something, but saying yes and helping other is harder. Ah sorry this really upset me because I think I am doing the right thing but Melanie is hard on me because of it. I guess we hit the month and a half mark and we are both starting to show are true colours.
To be honest this week I kinda wish we werent sharing a house or that we at least had our own rooms. Apparently it may be as soon as next week, but that's in peruvian time.
Qué Frio!
In Canada, May has always been my favourite month. The trees start to blossom, the birds sing. We start to remember why we tough through our rough winters. . All of our terrible freezing -20, never ending shovelling months are behind us and the May sun starts to warm our hearts with hope again. Hope that helps us appreciate our beautiful country and its seasons. Hope that gives us a sweet taste of the delicious warm summer months ahead.
I could use some rays of hope today. It is cold and rainy here. I left my room with my thermos of hot chocolate and fill my cup every half hour. For now this cup of chocolate will be my little ray of May sunshine. It is as comforting as a hug from your mother.
So I lift my cup up to you dear friends and ask you to sing along to the birds chirping, soak up the
Spanish dude, vale vale and QUÉ DICE?
This morning I woke up early and went to Chivay with Melanie to buy groceries for our supper tomorrow night. I am rather nervous to be honest. Reubon the spanish dude is suppose to help us but to be honest hes a little flaky. He was suppose to call, I finally decided to call him. Yes I called him, do you know how difficult that was for me. Reubon is Spanish, from SPAIN,I don't understand no nada when he speaks to me. Basically I told him Melanie and I had decided to cook a typical canadian meal and that we wanted him to do an entre. I have no idea if he understood but we'll see tomorrow.
Back
May 9th 2011,
It's Monday and I am back at the escuela.. This week is a full week, I'm not use to that. This weekend was fun. On Friday night I went out to eat with Melanie and Franklin and really felt like a 3rd wheel . The next day I didnt hang out with them I went to Siglo XX on my own. I like that place its like a market but full of stores. I bought myself a couple of things pretty cheap. In the evening Lisseth really wanted to hang out with us so we went out with her. Franklin and Wilfredo told us it was gonna be really boring and not worth it but she really wanted to hang out with us so we went along.
Then we realized that she is totally loca. She got there and then in a half hour she went to the bathroom and was gone for like 20 minutes. She came back and had changed in a miniskirt. Then after while we were dancing she was like , dont dance close to me I want the guys to see me??? Im ok like? Then after she went to the bathroom again and Melanie said, check this, she will come back and have changed again, She did. She is so loca. Melanie ditched us clearly for Franklin so I was alone with her. THANKS MEL! It kinda bugged me but there was nothing I could really do or say because Im not at the point where I can make up excuses in castelleno yet.. So I stayed with her and then she told me the funniest thing in the world. She has a crush on Carlos. The thing is Carlos is CLEARLY GAY. Like really and when I told her she was like , really? Are you sure? Wow what a loca.
Wednesday we have to cook for the staff. There is a tradition at the school that when you are new you have to cook for the staff. Franklin cooked about a month ago and he made lasagna it was really delicious except everyone criticized it . So we decided we would do poutine, who knows how but we will try. We figure if we do poutine and they dont like it then its not because we are bad cooks but because its different. We decided we would do crepes for dessert I think its rather French :). We'll see how it goes. Other than that Im in the office and so are all the other teachers , I like it better when I am alone for some reason but its ok.

Hwllo new girl
May 4th 2011
Today is Wednesday and usually I teach except I don't teach today how sad. The students went on a feild trip to a pueblo nearby and of course Melanie got to go. I didn't but to be honest I don't feel the need to go. This morning I came in the office at 7:40. Oops a little late but I didn't care honestly. No one even told me there wasn't classes I'm just suppose to figure it out for myself? I did thankfully. This week I feel pretty good about my Spanish. I feel although I am able to have a conversation mas or menos. A couple of people told me also that they have seen my improvement so that's encouraging. I hit the month mark today. Time is going by so fast I almost don't want it to go so fast if I am here for another 3 months does that mean i will learn 3 times more? I kind of hope so I am almost considering taking a class on weekends. I just think its a really good opportunity to learn another language and I don't want to miss out on it. What do you guys think? Worth it?
There is a new girl at the school and she is an architect. Apparently here it is a known fact that architects are dumb. Anyway, in the office there is a bottle of fresh water you know the kind you buy and a man comes and refills it when its empty.
Also there is a kettle if you want mate or coffee. So the new girl fills the kettle with the fresh bottled water. Like HELLO I am a gringa and I know that if you boil the water u should just use tap water anyway. What a waste of fresh bottled water, how dumb is that?
Everyone always asked me about my laptop. They say its cute. They are right its adorable :P.

Me gusta estar contigo
Lau pointed out that I should mention to dial 011 51 before my number so that people don't search forever on how to contact me. thank you Lau :)
So if you are calling from canada my number is
011 51 971831251
Ah its my last day in Arequipa already. This weekend has been very nice. I was all alone and I enjoyed it quite a bit. It made me realize that I am not bad in castelleno.
On Friday I had phone conversation with two people. I thought it was pretty good except when I tried to meet up with Otto I misunderstood and missed the appointment. Oops.
On Saturday I met up with Bendita and her boyfriend and they helped me buy a phone. Afterwards I went to her house and met her parents and they took me out for Acuchyo. Its heart and cow intestines. It was delicious, kind of chewy but delicious. They then took me to the farmacia to take a pill to make sure I wouldn't be sick. It was very sweet.
I think Brendita comes from a rather wealthy family, her house was big and they kept paying for everything for me. Her dad was so cute he wanted to show me everything, like how they cook the heart and intestines, ( its basically on a bbq) but afterwoods your clothes smell like it. I quite like it. I told her to stop paying for me but then she said, well when I come visit you'll do the same. I thought that was a good deal and I'm pretty sure she's the kind of girl who will be able to come visit.
I skyped with Tomi and with dad and Lau called me twice. Having contact with people is the best thing in the world it really plays on my mood.
Yesterday skyping with Tom was hard, ah! Its quite funny because sometimes for the first half hour we just like looking at ourselves and making funny faces in the webcam. Not even looking at each other, looking at ouselves. ( so us)
You know in one life you can meet sooooooooooooo many different people but there are a select few that you just share this unexplainable eternal bond with. As if you aren't even yourself without those people.
Im glad I share that with some of you
Love you
Cori

On Friday I had phone conversation with two people. I thought it was pretty good except when I tried to meet up with Otto I misunderstood and missed the appointment. Oops.
On Saturday I met up with Bendita and her boyfriend and they helped me buy a phone. Afterwards I went to her house and met her parents and they took me out for Acuchyo. Its heart and cow intestines. It was delicious, kind of chewy but delicious. They then took me to the farmacia to take a pill to make sure I wouldn't be sick. It was very sweet.
I think Brendita comes from a rather wealthy family, her house was big and they kept paying for everything for me. Her dad was so cute he wanted to show me everything, like how they cook the heart and intestines, ( its basically on a bbq) but afterwoods your clothes smell like it. I quite like it. I told her to stop paying for me but then she said, well when I come visit you'll do the same. I thought that was a good deal and I'm pretty sure she's the kind of girl who will be able to come visit.
I skyped with Tomi and with dad and Lau called me twice. Having contact with people is the best thing in the world it really plays on my mood.
Yesterday skyping with Tom was hard, ah! Its quite funny because sometimes for the first half hour we just like looking at ourselves and making funny faces in the webcam. Not even looking at each other, looking at ouselves. ( so us)
You know in one life you can meet sooooooooooooo many different people but there are a select few that you just share this unexplainable eternal bond with. As if you aren't even yourself without those people.
Im glad I share that with some of you
Love you
Cori
