Tuesdays Rule

I love Tuesdays. On Tuesdays my first class is at 2 pm, which means I can sleep in. Tuesdays are just good days. I wake up at around 10 give or take 30 minutes. Actually just give half hour to an hour. I prefer a slow wake up with some soothing music. My group of choice for mornings is Hillsong United. Worship music puts my thoughts in the right place and reminds me of how great life is. On Tuesdays, and other days I excersize on my roof Haha. I have one dumbbell that is made of 2 two liter bottles filled with cement with a bar connecting them. I have a few excersizes that use it. Afterwards I usually just sit on the roof in the sun for a good 20-30 minutes before taking a shower, singing to hillsong all the while. That right there is a god start to a day if I do say so myself.

Showering is probly my least favorite part about Tuesdays haha. The water here is litrally so cold that is a hinderance to my hygiene. I only take showers every so often because the water makes my brain hurt. You can probly compare it to the feeling you get from jumping out of a hot tub in the winter and rolling around in the snow. I have to work showering around the days that we have water because a couple days a week water doesn’t come to our neighborhood.

My spanish is improving every day. There were a few times in early September when I thought I was never, ever going to understand what people are saying. Lately I have been having theological discussions with my family. Needless to say I’ve come a long way.

So I haven’t shaved in close to 2 months. It’s the first time I’ve ever had facial hair and it kinda grosses me out sometimes. I’m probly gunna go the full 4 months just to say that I did.

Genesis, my 2 year old niece who lives with us is now best friends with me. For the first 3 months at least she was incredibly shy. She's way sweet.

I got a haircut the other day. When I walked in I asked how much a normal haircut asked, he said 50 Limpiras ($2.50) and I was like I’m down. He didn’t ask what I wanted, just started going to town on my head. Not gunna lie I thought I was going to be bald again at one point. Everything turned out ok and I got a sideburn neck shave at the end! He put shaving cream around my cheeks and neck and used a straight edge blade (Ian Gackowski I know your jealous) that was the fisrt time I’d experienced a straight edge shave so I left feeling very good about myself. When I got home my family asked me who cut my hari, said “Qué barbaridad!” and “Que feo.” (awful/ugly) I think people tell it to you straight a little bit more here.
