Well, I was supposed to go to Malacatos today at 2 for lunch but, I don't know where my host family went so instead I'll update this gloomy blog and start talking about the positives.
Last night the other exchange student, Isabelle from Germany and I went to the big concert here in Loja. I'm willing to bet just about every person living in Loja went. There we're so many people just waiting to get in, you couldn't even walk. And when the line did move forward, you were practically trampled by the people behind you. Isabelle and I actually felt a little disquieted at one point. The craziest part about the whole thing was that it only cost 1$ to get into the concert! Back in the US you probably couldn't even buy a drink at a concert for that much. So anyways, once we were finally in the concert, the music was really good. Of course, I've never heard any of the songs or didn't even understand what was being said, but it still sounded good. Isabelle recognized two songs, which made her really happy. Hahaha. Apparently the musician was really famous, all the girls went crazy over him. Also, I think the music was really romantic because everywhere I looked I saw couples hugging and kissing, it sucked. At the concert there was also a Carnival going on. It was huge. There were so many rides and games.
Recently, I found out rice makes you gain weight. Why am I the only person who didn't know this? Hahaha looks like I won't be having any of that anymore. Oh boy and I've gotten so sick of soup. I can't even look at it anymore. There are so many different kinds, but now it all just tastes the same to me. Right now, I am soooo craving any sort of snack. I haven't eaten one single snack in the entire 15 days I've been here. It's so crazy considering I used to live on snacks back in the US. I think Isabelle and I are gonna go up to the Super maxi soon and buy our own snacks. She misses them too. Hahah.
Tomorrow I start school. I really am not looking forward to it at all. I'm taking the hardest classes. I seriously am praying that next year when I go back to the US, they give me credit for being here.
I leave for language camp on Tuesday which makes me happy since I'll be missing basically this whole week of school. And also I'll be with a bunch of other exchange students which is always a good time.
Listen to this song once and it'll be stuck in your head forever. I can't even explain to you the amount of times I hear this song playing every day.
I'll try and post an update tomorrow after school and let you know if I'm still alive. Jajaja chao.
