10/21/11 week 5
So from about the first week they have warned us about pooping our pants. I guess with all the communicable diseases, viruses, and bacteria…the PC doctors have warned us that there is about a 95% chance that sometime during our PC service I WILL poop my pants. Honestly that is not something I am looking forward to. And IF or WHEN it does happen…I promise I will not blog about it. Nonetheless I fined it mildly humorous since the idea of pooping and the topics surrounding it have always been a good laugh for me. I thought others out there who may have a similar bizarre sense of humor would enjoy this small story…for those who do not find it funny I apologize that you cannot laugh at the funny little things in life.
So this past weekend was my birthday…yup…I’m getting’ on up there. Friday afternoon I wasn’t feeling so hot but I decided to go out dancing anyway. Saturday morning our group had to go back to the University Agraria to learn about compost. I hadn’t been feeling well all morning and by 11 I thought I may die. So I took a break from class and took a nap. I thought I felt better until I got to Jockey Plaze (A HUGE mall in the center of Lima). I had a bite to eat thinking that would help…I did not I felt worst. Another girl wasn’t feeling well either so we decided to go back. Hence close to the worst 3 hours of my life. I thought I was going to pass out and I was trying to navigate my way around Lima. After 6 soles, 3 combi rides, a mototaxi and 4 Imodium AD, 2 Tylenol, and 2 Peptos I made it to my host family’s house. I had never been so excited to see a bed and bathroom. I then spent the next 4 hours sweating out a fever and trying not to poop my pants….I was successful…for now. Lol. Not exactly the way I wanted to spend my birthday weekend. Oh well that’s life.
So basically this week’s blog is about poop because I have one more story…On Thursday, we had gotten out of class early so a few of us decided to walk to this clothing shop that had shirts on for about 3 bucks. On the way a bird pooped right on my face. Luckily, I had on sunglasses, which prevented it from getting my eye. Most of it hit my left cheek and it did NOT get in my mouth but it was disturbingly close. Just moments before I had thought, “ Man one of those stupid birds better not poop on me.” Several of them had been flying over our heads. I screamed and just stood there for a moment as I realized what had happened. It was on my cheek and sunglasses. My friend has some napkins. That helped a lot. An older man stopped and asked what was wrong. He laughed and said, “Some things in life you just have to laugh at.” This was definitely one of those moments. This is the second time in my life a bird has pooped on me. They warned us about pooping our pants but they never said anything about a bird pooping on your face! At least this time it wasn’t in my hair…I think that’s worse. (Hope this gives everyone a good laugh…I know it did me!)
This week we changed language classes. I had a Spanish interview last Friday and I am now “intermediate” haha. Not sure how true that is.
This week has been a little slow a lot more technical training on health issues. I won’t bore anyone with that…not even myself.
We will be learning about small animal husbandry with cuy tomorrow…that’s guinea pig…and yes they eat them here.
I finally got a cell phone. Yay! So I’ll be able to talk on that bad boy….if you want the number just message me on FB or whatev.
The next several weeks are going to be very hectic so I may not get to blog. We are going to Ancash in the mountains next week. I’m really excited and I’ll have plenty to report back. It’s about 10 hours from here so it will be a busy week.
Miss you all!
