Subject<\/b>: Hello again

Hello again from Quito!

I have finished what one could call my first week of classes, though it started on wednesday and i didn’t really have any classes. You see, crazy thing about the university is that it is TERRIBLY disorganized. Check this out. I went to my Ecologia Ecuatoriana class. First of all, it was listed as the wrong room, secondly, the teacher had ANOTHER class at the same time. Thats right folks, 1 prof, 2 classes. Does that make sense? So, he had to change the class time for our class, but since this class is a requirement for Kzoo kids he changed it based on our schedules, which the other gringos in the class just loved. So anyway, there’s more. I actually only met 2 profs out of 6 classes, all the rest were still on vacation. My spanish class is on the top floor of a building and when the wind blows, the ceiling tiles rise up and crash onto the roof, which is loud and a bit distracting. Finally, my volleyball class has only one person \u2026 me. So, i think that one might just close up, which is kinda sad. Other than that life is going along as it has been. I’m not sure what is going on this weekend, but i suppose I’ll find out soon enough. Next weekend I get to go to Otavalo, which is a very large indeginous market, which I am excited about.

Well, I hope everyone is well, and its always good to hear from you!

Until next time,
