Almost Truant....

So to many of you who know me, it may seem like I have relapsed into my old habits of not going to school. I assure this is not the case. I went to 2 whole days of school this week plus one half one. See? I did go to school. 

Ok, well I am sort of kidding, but not really. I didn't go to school on Tuesday, as it said in my last post. I did go to school on Wednesday, a full day of school, and then again on Thursday, only because of student council elections we only had classes until 9am and then elections until 11:15am. But I didn't get to vote (because I don't have my passport # memorized) and so really it meant that I just had Math and Biology, and then I got to roam around the school and talk to people. It was really fun. Unfortunately in order to get home I had to sit in the hot school bus for like half an hour before we even started moving because the voting went long. Oh yeah, and I had to wear the ugly monday uniform (not exactly sure why). Other than that school was fun. 

School is really hard here. My Biology test involved a 500 word essay on the levels of organization of life and i sat there for 5 min wondering if I even knew 500 words in Spanish. So I wrote like a 300-400 word essay I think. Except I don't know how relevant it was to the topic. Then I had to compare these 3 things, only I didn't know what either of the three words meant, so I just made it up. I didn't have time to get to the 3 question. So I think I probably failed that. Math is sort of interesting, because even though I did the same things in math last year, our teacher here has a different way of doing a lot of things. And frankly, I like his method a lot better. Its a whole lot shorter. 

I didn't do much yesterday because I was really tired from the week. So I went on facebook, and watched T.V. with my sister Andrea. And I slept. 

I don't have school today because it is Guayaquil Independence Day. I don't exactly know what Guayaquil became independent from, but we don't have school so that is all that matters. I am not exactly sure what I am doing today but I think it involves going to the "Mitad Del Mundo" (literally, the center of the world, aka the equator). I will bring back pictures. If your lucky there might even be another post today detailing my Mitad Del Mundo trip. 

But for now, 

Hast Luego,

P.S. I have changed my layout again...I guess it is just really hard for me to make up my mind.
