peruuu

peru is a go! i still have to pay some fees (read: earn the money required to pay the fees) but the uvic course list came up and all my courses are in the spring, so my fall is free for machu picchu adventures! i am more excited and scared than i am willing to let on. pete bought me a really nice bag for my birthday (once of those gigantic hardcore trekking backpacks) and everything is becoming real and holy shit i am going to be in peru for two months by myself and the girl who sold us the backpack said that cusco is totally sketchy and all her friends got robbed there! oh gosh. but i am tough and streetwise. aha! i'm from sherwood park, what do i know about streetsmarts? but i'm excited. very very very.
