¡Buenos Dias Y'all!

My typical morning commute. Today I found myself in between a woman literally with her shirt off and breast feeding and a man with no teeth trying to sell me a bootleg copy of Shrek 3. Throughout this I am simultaneously attempting to avoid permanent hearing damage via the timeless classic "Total Eclipse of the Heart" played at a deafening volume in spanish over bus speakers. Some of you may have already read this on my fb status, but its just too good not to share again. I know you think im exaggerating but Im not. For the most part. :) But really, things have been pretty slow paced which is actually kind of nice. This week we are just going to school and studying but next Thursday we are all leaving for Riobamba which is a city about 120 miles south of Quito. We are studying there and staying with a new host family for 9 days, as well as traveling around that area and doing some hiking. I don't know what to expect- I've stop trying to expect anything- but it should be fun! I have a midterm Friday so I am trying hard to make an A on my first test! Tonight I think a group of us are going out for dinner and drinks since we really cant go out Thursday before our exam. I bought 3 movies for 5 dollars yesterday!! The movie place is right by our school so I will probably be making a few more stops there. I found out last night that my family has hosted 5 other girls before me! They def knew what they were getting into I guess. Also I may have mentioned this already but my host sister Maria spent a year in Michigan and her host mother and sister are coming to stay with us for almost the entire month of July! Our house will be so fun and full of people!! But it is already fun now, my family is so sweet I just wish I could talk/ understand them better! My little brother Mateo helps me with my spanish homework because I am basically doing the work of a 3rd grader. I'm outtie for a siesta!
