I´m here...now what?

So I´ve been in Arequipa for 1 week and 1 day. It´s nice. The mountains are beautiful the house are colorful, and the people are kind. I think I have the largest family ever. I don´t even know everyone´s names yet. And everyday I meet more tios and primos. The city center here is called the Plaza de Armas and it is gorgeous and hundreds of years old. Wednesday I went to a church that was built in the 1500´s. I don´t think I´ve ever been in a building that old.

School is nice. But the kids are insane! They just get up and color on people, throw dirt at eachother, or yell during the lesson. I think we´re better behaved in school, but maybe I just never noticed. I don´t understand anything yet. Well, Math, Chemistry, and English. But French, Geography, History, Language, and Investigation (which I have yet to figure out what it is) I don´t understand a word of.

I´ve been to 2 parties and I´m going to one in a couple of hours. I feel like a new car. My family takes me places to show me off.

Well I´ve got to go. Pictures soon.
