So I’ve been in classes for almost a week now, and I think I’m getting close to finally figuring out my schedule – its been such a mess. But now that its more set, I feel a lot better about everything: though I think it’ll be more work than I had hoped. My classes are mostly Americans, with a few Ecuadorians here and there, but I guess that’s ok, though its not what I was hoping for. My volleyball class is all Ecuadorian though, so that should be good.
I love exploring
My family’s great, though they still don’t understand why I don’t eat more and why I don’t eat meat. (The grandma talked extensively yesterday about how it was bad to be vegetarian, because God put all animals on Earth so that people could eat them…?) But the family’s very welcoming, and definitely want me to do everything with them, so that part is definitely a full immersion experience, and I’m learning a lot from them: about language and about culture. Sunday, I spent all day with them at my host brother’s futbol game, went to Mass in a fancy colonial church (still in our sweatpants from the futbol game?), went and played in the beautiful Parque Metropolitano all afternoon, and then played futbol in the park by their grandma’s house. It was a lot of fun.
Off to get ready for school now… PS: I have skype now too, so if you have it, find me on there! I think my name is sara.gibbs.
