Who needs a workout when it's built in?

Alright, first day of classes. Here we go. I left my house around 8:45 this morning for my 11 class. Today was the first day I had to walk to the bus station alone, and get home alone. I made it to campus with plenty of time so I scoped out my classes and looked like a lost gringa for about 20 min. Once I finally met up with my SNC friends we went to class, no big deal. Then we had a break for lunch and found an empanada place which was really good and only cost $3 for a meal that filled me up. yum. Then to our second class. This class was almost a disaster, almost. The teacher talked super fast and we only caught about half of what she said and not not mention I thought I was going to die of heat stroke! After walking around campus and taking pictures it was time to head home and hopefully not get lost. I had no problem getting to the first station, but now it was the hard part. I had to find the right bus out of a million to take home. So I did it the only way possible, asking. I asked about 5 people to find my bus and make sure it was the right one but I made it. And I do have to say that my "intimidating" look came in handy because everyone left me alone. Once I got to the last stop I shimmied through the door and starting walking home thinking that the worst was behind me. Boy was I wrong. The walk home was all up hill not to mention in high altitude so I was huhing and puffing like I just ran a marathon, meanwhile wearing my huge bulky backpack on the front to avoid getting robbed. So just imagine it, me sweating bullets looking like a fool trying to get up a stupid hill, not to mention I'm white. So I got lots of looks but I eventually got home safe.

So in total today I sweated out about 10 pounds of water and if me living here doesn't get me in shape I don't know what will.
