Back to the Beaver Dam!

Hooray, I'm in Ecuador!! Yayyy!!

My flight back to Quito was like two hours late and I didn't end up getting back to the Beaver Dam till almost 3AM. Annie and I took Zack and Megan (two new MSU kids) to La Mariscal instead of going to the Gringo Party at Mulligan's, and we had a really good time.

When I got to Detroit, I was so so so excited. I felt so much joy and like, a surge of love towards Michigan and the general Midwest when the plane landed. And then when we landed in Quito, I just felt straight relief. I don't know what those two distinct emotions mean about the two distinct places for which I felt them, but I'm probably going to dwell on it for forever until I figure it out.

What else? Today is the first day of school. Right now, I'm taking advantage of the break I have between classes to write this. Here's what my schedule looks like:

MW
POL301 Temas de America Latina 11-12PM (and also Friday)
POL310 Política Ecuatoriana 1-230PM
LIT225 El Boom Latinoamericano 230-4PM

TTh
ART100 Dibujo Básico 1130-1PM
EPE321 Conversación Avanzada 1-230PM
DEP181 Hatha Yoga 430-6PM

Exciting, right? Two classes count for Spanish, one counts for Madison, and drawing and yoga are just for funsies. I think it's gonna be a good semester.

The weather is wonderful. It's been sunny and in the 70s and still not raining (so the apagones continue...).
