Tarea Tarea Tarea

The past couple days nothing has really been happening. Monday after school I watched TV with my roommate and studied for a quiz, which didn't even end up happening. Then on Tuesday I went to the cathedral del Cusco after class! It was really pretty inside with large gold painted wooden altars. There were so many statues of the saints, Jesus, and Mary. I saw clothing that the archbishop wore and old paintings. Too bad we weren't allowed to take pictures. Mami would have loved to have seen it. I knelt at the big altar and prayed for Mami. I also lit a candle for Prince, our dog that died right before I left. Afterwards we went to the super market and I got some cookies, ones with lucuma cream and others with chocolate. Then we had to go home and watch a movie to write a paper about it. This one was Madeinusa, it was rather strange. I didn't really like it. I had to study again for a test which did happen today. I woke up feeling more sick then before, I have been sick all week so far. It is not a pleasant experience. Class was about the meaning behind paintings in colonial time and how they were used to submit the indigenous people to the Spanish way of thinking. At the same time though the indigenous people were putting secret symbols relating to their culture in the paintings too. It was pretty interesting. We got broken into groups for chapter presentations and for our final projects. Finally had that quiz but the second half is going to happen tomorrow. Lunch today was really good! We had kidney beans with salsa on top with rice and chicken in cilantro and for dessert we had flan! I was really happy with it. Now I just finished watching another movie, Teta Asustada, and should start writing the paper on it. Tomorrow we are supposed to go to the market so my post will be more fun! I am also supposed to get my yellow fever vaccination...
