month
I guess technically now its been officially a month. so far just been making weekend plans, planning my icrp (these project that K forces us to do in which we help out the community, learn about it and write a paper) and working on homework. I've had 3 of my last 4 classes canceled including one potentially in the morning. They don't even tell us, we just show up sit there for 10 minutes then a TA walks in and tells us to leave. It's pretty cool cause you never see it coming. Changes the tone of any day. Anyways, I start my ICRP on Friday. I'm working at a foundation called Ninos de la calle (children of the street for you English hoodlums). I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to be doing, I just know I'm going to help make a difference and that's how I'll spend most of my Friday morning to early afternoons from here on out and January. I'm pretty excited but it won't be easy. Also, this weekend we are going to Otavalo, next weekend I'm going to a beach resort type place, then the weekend after we are going hiking on a volcano or something. I'm not sure I entirely understood, but I know it sounds awesome. Anyways, I'm slowly falling in love with the Italian language. I'm just a wannabe polyglot. I forgot what it was like to learn a new language since its been 8 years. Surprisingly not as hard as I recall, maybe its just my spanish knowledge that helps with a mix of it being my favorite class. I am hoping to get some days where I get home before 630. Going to school and coming home on a bus is starting to wear me down mentally cause of the starting and stopping from rush hour traffic and jam packed buses. By the time I get home, relax for 20 minutes and eat dinner with Marci and have my night time coffee and bread, its already 8 or 830. Time moves by so fast here, it helps that I don't have classes til the afternoon but that just means I'm up later working on homework. Still haven't slept in past 1030 here and on weekdays I'm up around 930 or 9 quite consistently. So that's about it for now. Maybe after this weekend I'll finally put some pictures up, but until then, I'm a bit too lazy. Night folks.
