SUPERCHEVERE

Hmm. I don't have much to say, except for I suck at Guitar Hero in two languages. Good to know.

I took all four buses by myself for the first time today; usually I meet someone at the terminal or I leave school with someone I know, but today I was all by myself.

I got a cell phone! It used to belong to Jose and it still has a bunch of his old texts in it? Haha. But now I can communicate with everyone much easier. Cell phone numbers in Ecuador have nine numbers. The first two are either 08 or 09, to denote that it's a cell phone, and then it has a normal seven-digit phone number. House phones only have the seven.

I think I figured out the problem with my computer. It's the battery. It makes everything crazy, and it turns off randomly and won't turn back on, and it's a pain in the ass. So I took the battery out and right now it's just plugged into my wall, and it's been on for a few hours without crashing. Yay!

I have to finish the second episode of Mad Men still. I was interrupted by Rita who wondered if I wanted some tea, and I ended up having tea and toast, talking with a bunch of people, playing Guitar Hero, and talking about music with Lala, who is Rita's niece.

Things I'm still getting used to:

- Wearing shoes in the house. I hate it.

- Seeing children on the street selling cigarettes.

- Crossing the streets. Because everyone is a crazy driver.

Things I'm def getting better at:

- Understanding Spanish.

- Taking the bus.

- Buying things.

Tomorrow I'm going to a discotheque with Bess, Scott, and apparently half of USFQ. That's gonna be fun. I want to explore more, but it's always too hot when I want to go and walk around. Oh well. Maybe instead of hermitting around and struggling with homework in the evenings I should go do something with my life. Annie is gonna call me in a bit and we're gonna so something, I think, or at least sit around together. Haha. But first I need to finish Mad Men....

Chao chao,

Gina.
