This is a little harder that I thought...

Had my first cry yesterday. Don't get me wrong I'm really enjoying my trip but it was all just a bit much. The Spanish school, the time difference, my sleeping patterns not to mention the altitude of cusco which just stuffs everything up.

I expected to go to the Spanish & for them to teach me Spanish in a non confronting way. I was just a tad wrong, the teacher doesn't speak any English & the other 2 students are more heaps more advanced than me which means that I understand very little & have to get the other students to translate which makes me feel like the dumbest person in the world. I just about cried in class too... The teacher spoke a sentence at me & wanted me to repeat it but I just couldn't remember the words, this was like 3 hours into my first day & my head was already swimming. My simple response was "no". Last night I put it down to first day etc but it was no better this morning so I'm going to take one on one lessons for 5 days. I really don't know how they expect you to understand if they don´t explain things to you in English... I was thinking about cutting the Spanishh school short but I do need to learn... I´ll see how the one on one goes...
