My first semester is almost over?

At "Voluntarios" in Mira Flores, Lima

I can’t believe I only have two more weeks of classes, then finals, and my first semester is over! The time has just flow by.
I haven’t done any traveling since Iquitos since I have been so busy here, but life is great. Last night, since I have finished most of my work for the semester minus studying for finals, I had a couple friends over my house before going out to one a favorite spot in Mira Flores, a part of Lima.

Although the semester has been great, I am looking forward to finish the rest of my work and have a couple months off to relax. Christmas and New Years are only about a month away too, and I finally confirmed that I will be staying here in Peru! I’ll be spending December with a friend and his family in Chincha, south of Lima, and I am sure it will be an incredible experience. It will be the first time I am away from home for Christmas so it will be

enjoyable to see how families here celebrate Christmas and New Years, two of my favorite holidays. Then, in January, if all “goes according to plan,” one of my sisters will be coming down to visit!

Finally, I am still working at the school Fe y Alegria every Friday and everything is going great. I work with a group of boys who have family problems and poor grades and since we started in September all of them have improved their grades and significantly reduced there “behavior problems” in and out of the classroom. It’s a great group of kids and I always enjoy spending my Fridays with them. Like me, they only have a few weeks of school left too, but we plan on continue this group next year (the next semester) and I am anxious to see how much they have improve over an entire year. Until next time…

Ciao,
Peter
