Time flies..

I know it is a long time ago that I wrote something on my blog, but life here is just going so fast!
It feels like only 2 weeks past, but in real life it is 2 months since my last blog.

University life is going normal. It is still like highschool, they are leading you in everything you have to do. A couple of weeks ago we had an examweek, what ment that we had only 2 exams in that week, so it was really relaxt and this was the reason why Merle and I decided to go to Huaraz. Of the two exams, I had one oral and the other one was written, but also this was like exams on highschool, in small rooms with tables in straight lines. You also have to cover your name after finishing your exam, so that the teachers can't give you a higher grade because they know who you are.

The annoying thing is that there are still the controls, cases and trabajos so that we don't have that much oppurtunities to travel anymore, but we still try to arrange something.

The second part of the semester is really more busy, because we have to do a lot of trabajos final included with a big paper and a presentation. The level is still not that high and a lot of students want to help you. I have to admit that not everyone wants to do that, because some people kicked us out of our group, with no good reason. So I think that they just don't want to put effort in working together with exchange students who's spanish is not perfect.

They told us that the profesors are really nice for exchange students and that it is not entirely true. Some just don't want to help you and some want to fortunately. But still you have to put some effort in it, they don't always expect that your spanish is sufficient.

About my spanish level, it is really getting better! I can understand most of it and I can have conversations! It is nice to recognize this after a couple of months, because before I thought that it will never improve.

Last week my parents arrived and I showed them around in my life. This was really a nice experience. They now know how I live and their image of Lima totally changed. They really liked it here. Now they are travelling and tomorrow I will meet them again in Cuzco and I will go to Macchu Picchu, the biggest touristical atraction in Peru I think. So I'm really excited to go there!

Time flies so fast, it is so bad and I really don't want to think about going back! But there are only 5 weeks left on university and after that a month of travelling will start.
I promise that I will give an update after my trip
