Hey everybody! I’m gonna tell you about what I do every day! On a daily basis, there are so many things to do, but it’s not always the same. Getting up at 5:30 to go use the internet for school on Tuesdays-Fridays is probably the hardest thing I have to do. It may be hard, but it’s also a cool experience to see the sun coming over Uchumachi (the mountain by us) and come down the valley in the sunrise. At that time of the morning, it’s always cold, and a lot of the time, we’re in the clouds. It’s a really beautiful sight to see. When the college computer opens at 8, I have to go home. As you can imagine, I’m pretty tired, so I usually sleep for an hour or so, and at nine or nine-thirty I get up and eat breakfast. On Tuesdays and Fridays I work at the Biblioteca Del Los Ninos, (the children’s library) from 12:30-2:30, so I usually find something to occupy myself with until a little before 12, when I head down to the lower campus. The children love the library, and are usually eagerly waiting for me when I get down there to open the library. When I go down at other times, I get kids asking, ”Biblioteca?” and their faces are so sad when I tell them no! On Thursdays, we have a story time for the children with a special narrator. The first one was last week, and my dad read. The kids seemed to really like it, and when the reading was over, I decided to let them play games and read books for another forty-five minutes or so. The library has been a real success, and the children are very enthusiastic about it. With this library schedule, my Wednesdays and Saturdays are pretty free. (Sundays and Mondays are the weekends) On these days I usually do some chores around the house (sweeping, washing dishes, taking out the trash, etc.) and then, when I'm done with what my parents want me to do, I do my thing. I watch a movie, dance around my room listening to music, read a book, or maybe write a little. I like to sometimes go out on our balcony to read or write, and just take my computer or a notebook and go sit on the step. It's a really fun way to spend my free time. Sometimes, on these days, we head into Coroico to do some grocery shopping, and that's usually a cool experience. I don't think that, even if I could drive down here, I would want to. The people drive crazy here! The streets uphill are sometimes so steep that I feel like we're on a roller coaster! It's an interesting experience. Another one is our upstairs neighbors, Carlos, Gladys, and their four-year-old daughter Nataly. Every two weeks, it seems, we've gotten into a sort of Bolivia-America food war. The first Monday that we did this,
