Today I had Spanish class. It was kinda hard to concentrate today. I love my Ecuadorian family and I know the majority of the things that we are learning during training are very important, but I can’t wait to be at my site and living on my own. The more volunteers I meet and the more I hear about their experiences, the more I want to be getting to know my own community and having my own experiences. I am dying to learn where my site is, but we won’t find out until next Tuesday. AHHHH!!! Patience never was my strong suit.
Anyway, today Cissa, Lauren, Margaret, and I went to Margaret’s house to cook an Ecuadorian meal. We prepared corn with cheese, aji, potatoes, fresh fruit juice (I squeezed a million oranges), chiffles (fried bananas… yummm!!!). After lunch we were all stuffed and ready for a nap. Unfortunately, we had an entire afternoon of classes to go. I think Cissa took mercy on us and let us out a little early. We really weren’t paying attention at all! I then went to the Internet café to fix some blog problems. Mom happened to be online too and we tried to chat but my computer stopped working. GRRR! Mom did write to say that she did not forget me, but was late getting back from visiting my brother in West Virginia. For some reason, I never received the e-mail. All is forgiven.
I gave up on the computer and went running with Lauren. I was really out of shape because I haven’t been running in awhile and couldn’t go as far as I would have liked. When I got back I was so frustrated with not being able to communicate with my mother that I decided to call her. We talked for a while and it was nice to hear her voice and not Kermit the Frog—which is what she sounds like through the computer. (Dad sounds like Darth Vader.)
That was basically the exciting parts of my day, thrilling eh?
