First rain in Arequipa since March. After having spent 4 years in college in Washington State, it’s a welcoming site. 

My classroom dynamic has drastically changed after a 46 year old engineer enrolled in my class of 20 year olds. He is all business, which means I will have to keep the slang to a minimum. I’m sure he isn’t too interested in learning words like, “Stoked” and “What’s crack-a-lacken?"
