Final Fortnight

The last two weeks have been fairly uneventful but pretty hard work.
Last Tuesday I moved from 3rd Grade to 1st Grade because it seemed like they needed more help...which they do. There are six kids in total. For two of them it is the third time that they are doing 1st grade. Two don't know their alphabet and can hardly hold a pencil and two know what you hope a first grader would know. So the last two weeks have mostly been spent going over the alphabet and doing simple 3 plus 4 is 7 sums. This week tarea also started. This means that we have to stay at school until 4 instead of getting home at 2. This makes me super tired but that's mostly because I am a lazy person and need more relaxation time!
In my host family however there has been some drama!
I broke my bed but managed to fix it without my host mum finding out, I blew two lightbulbs and my host mum went into hospital for the weekend. Luckily she's out now and seems fine.
The weekend was super relaxing because 13 volunteers went to Colca Canyon which left about 8 of us here. So we mostly lazed around the garden at the Casa and generally chilled out.
Exciting news though:Machu Picchu should be open before I leave Peru! I found out on Saturday that it should be opening 2 days before it was expected to. This means that I can go. YAY!
