Day 6

A week ago tomorrow I got on a plane and left. It's gone so slow and so fast all at the same time. Today I had two classes. I switched out of a class into the same one only with a different teacher and it was amazing how much it helped. I went from understand about 50% of what the teacher said to about 99% of what the teacher said, just by switching teachers. It's amazing how someone even says a word changes how I hear it. So now I'm pretty confident in three of my classes and only 25% lost in the other two. Nothing comes without challenges right?  Today being Friday and being done with class around 1pm I went to an almuerzo(lunch) place with a friend for $3 each. That included juice, soup, a main dish, and a cookie. After that we chilled on campus because being at home means being alone. I've spent $14 on two books for class already and only have to buy one or two more keeping me under $100 for the semester, compared to the $200-$300 I would have spent at SNC. I made the mistake of wearing flats today and my feet were black and sore after my walk up the mountain when I got home. Even after this pretty uneventful day I still feel tired, so let's blame it on the altitude. Tomorrow is our first outing to el mitad del mundo (the equator line)! The only problem is that we don't know where it is and don't know how to get there.
