Complications. :-/

I have only been here a week and I already feel like I'm running out of time.

In four months there will be, what, 15 weeks perhaps? I can't travel for 5 of them (already!) due to class obligations- 2 weekends I have to be here for Model UN (we're doing presentations at school) and 2 I am traveling with my soc class to exotic places. Another Saturday I have a soc class tour of Quito, which means I can't go anywhere. They all sound like fun, but it means I have to plan really carefully what I want to do and when I can do it and when I can get other people to come with me... and we all know how good I am with planning. And being organized. -_-

I have a sweet schedule though:

Monday and Wednesday Model UN 2:30-4
Economia Internacional 4-5:30
Tuesday and Thursday El Cuento Hispanoamericano 10-11:30
Historias Locales, Tendencias Globales 11:30-1
Nutricion y La Comunidad 1-2:30

Although I think I am going to have to drop nutrition because the professor is going to have class on Saturdays ¨only once or twice a month-¨ which means that I'll either have to miss it because of my other class trips or I will have even less time to travel, neither of which I am okay with. Hopefully I can find another (health-oriented) class to take in its place.

My phone stopped working for 2 hours today- whenever I would call my friend it just beeped, so I thought it was busy or her phone was broken, but I finally caught on and turned my phone off and back on- and it magically started working again! When I finally got through to that friend she was on a bus to Baños. Now I don't know what to do- I don't know what's going on this weekend here, if I should try to catch a bus to Baños now alone and meet up with people there, or stay here... argh. My phone sucks. It never has more than 2 bars of service and constantly drops calls. Plus it isn't that cheap.

I had a great night yesterday- we went out to a Chupitos, a bar that serves only shots (chupito=shot) and some of the Ecuadorians were teaching me to dance. It was so much fun!

Okay, now I have to go figure out what to do to have an awesome weekend. Adios.
