UNIFE: Peruvian History and Group Presentation


I’m a little bit nervous today. I’m supposed to present my part of a group project at UNIFE and guess what? I haven’t written down anything. After class at El Sol, I parkour all the way back to my apartment, grab my Lima book, and dashed the doors to make the bus ride to UNIFE. That only took me 10 minutes to do so I’m pretty damn fast. I could’ve have been a track star. I get on the bus and immediately started translating core information from the book. It was hard because as soon as I started jotting down information, Monica grabs the microphone and gets everyone to join in on a sing-a-long. A dios mio. And just when you think my motion sickness in cars were bad enough, there was horrid singing to go along. I had to fight through the pain, at least momentarily until I got this speech done. Ugh. More bowel pains. This is literally the worst ride of all time.

We finally arrive at UNIFE after 25 minutes, and I had just finished my two-page speech in time. I couldn’t be happier, but I really needed to take care of real business. So I went straight for the toilet. After dealing with my personal problems, I entered culture class for an hour to learned about the history of Peru. It’s just redundant material at this point. Now it’s the real part of my day. We enter the library and I find my group to talk about our presentation. I find out that our group would be going last and since I’m the last section in my group that I would be the very last to present. I just wanted to get this done and over with. So I sat for the next two hours awaiting my turn to find out that we didn’t have enough time to finish all the presentations today. I was a little disappointed. No. Let’s be real. I was pissed. I endured the struggle bus and painful bowel just to find out I’d be presenting tomorrow. Dammit. I really couldn’t complain though because now I at least got my part done and I’ll be ready for tomorrow.
