They're making awful plans, you'll get cancer in your hands!

I'm sitting on the stairs of the Beaver Dam right now; it's one of two places (the other being Annie's room) in which we can successfully bootleg internet from our neighbors. The connection is super shaky and we can't all use it at once, but that's better than nothing!

My classes are good. Actually, one class in particular--El Boom Latinoamericano--is absolutely horrendous, but I think it'll end up being easier to take it here than at MSU. So I'm sticking with it. Both politics classes are good, although the profe for Política Ecuatoriana is difficult to understand. Conversación is gonna be good, I think. The profe is cwazy and I like her a lot. Today in drawing we drew straight lines (we move onto curly lines on Thursday...) and that was fun. That class is probably my best bet for making friends at La Uni. We put our line drawings on the floor towards the end of class and evaluated each one of them as a group, and mine was unanimously the best. Hurray!

I also had yoga today, which was actually... really amazing. We're doing Kundalini yoga, which, our profe says, is more about meditation and self-awareness than actual poses. We did some mantras and some singing, and my homework is to breathe. Cool, right? I couldn't relax my face, which I thought was odd. I guess I have some pent-up things that are going to come tumbling out sooner or later... or at least that's what the profe said. We'll see.

We've been having nightly dance sessions in the Beaver Dam. It's just as cleansing as yoga, I think, but more fun, haha.

I can't stop listening to the Mountain Goats cover of "Terror Song." There's a dead dog in a trash pile on the way to the bus stop. There's been interesting developments in ... everything, which, if you're lucky, I'll spit out in here as soon as I chew on it some more.

Lovesss.
