como es un dia en mi vida ?!

im sure you have probably been wondering what a normal day in the life of kimberly is . well , i will explain it to you :-) well , on a school day , i wake up at 6 :3O ( 6: OO on mondays ) and go to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. then , i go put on my uniform for school . then , i go to the table and eat breakfast with my mom and dad and brother. i have to be at school by 7: 3O , and i walk there from my house. i get to school and go to my class to hangout for a few minutes until the bell rings . then , when my teacher enters the class , we all stand up to show him / her respect and then sit when they tell us we can . then , there is 3/4 classes each day . here , ill type them out :

monday :
1] EPET 2] EPET 3] comunicacion 4] comunicacion 5] matematica 6] matematica 7] matematica

friday :

those are my classes . its like blocked scheduling in the united states . just so you know , EPET is like computer / training for your future class . math is trigonometry . PFRH is about family and healthy choices . fisica elemental is physics . and tutoria is when whats like my home room teacher comes in and talks to us about important things that we should know about .

after school , i walk home with my friends and my lunch is waiting for me there. i eat with my mom, dad , brother and then later on my sisters come home from their work to eat . everyone goes back to work around 3:30 and then im at home with my mom and brother for the rest of the day until everyone comes back home in the evening . unless im outside with my friends or go to chimbote with one of my family members :)


so now , you know about a day in the life of me , lil miss peru !! :D

noviembre :)

Hey everyone . life has been pretty good over on this side of the world . ive been a little sick with a cold / flu type of thing, but its over now . i went to trujillo again with my mom and sister and went shopping like usual . its getting to be closer and closer to summer which means going to the beach and pool !! im really excited because with a change of season comes a new way of life . types of clothes change, activities change , more being outside , etc . also , that means less computer which is something im really excited about ! im also REALLY excited about navidad ( christmas ) from what i can tell so far , its about the same but there are a few things that are different . we are going to put up our christmas tree and decorations the first week of december so i am counting down! things with school are great , yes , now there is homework but i am understanding things by myself without my friends help . i know there will be alot of work to do when i qet home , but thats ok because this experience is worth it . daily life here is different than i thought it would be , i thought my attitude towards things would be different . for example , when i was in the US i never wanted to help around the house or anything , but here i ask what i can do to help or i do things when im first asked to do them .. i hope these customs stay with me when i come back because they are great traits to posess . well , until next time ! heres a picture of me sweeping the front sidewalk ! :) :) :)
