Yay it's October!!! This year has just flown right by. Nothing special has happened around here. Oh, except the last 3 days I have my alarm set for 7:25 and I wake up at 6:41... It's strange. We got the date wrong for the soccer game, so it was last night instead. It was a pain in the ass getting there and getting tickets, but it all ended up working out. The game wasn't that good, but it was fun to see Quito in a different way. Some Ecuadorian guy sat by us and I talked to him most of the game. He's in the ecuador military. It was hard talking to him cause he didn't speak English and I speak basic Spanish. Today will be my first full time work day since I am finished with Spanish classes... Kinda nervous about it because I know it's gonna be exhausting. I only have 4 more work days left here, because I took the last two off in hopes to travel. We'll see. We had a meeting yesterday with the director of our program and he talked about how he started this social group and how much he loves it and just wants to change the children's lives. It was inspiring and great to hear from him. Even though I live in him and his family's house, I've only seen him maybe twice total. I'm not feeling 100% today and it makes me just want to go home. I still have those uncomfortable moments when I wish I was in the States again, but oh well. Ive made a couple friends, but the social aspect is nothing like I imagined it to be. There are many 18 year olds and only three of us are over 21. If you know me, you know I didnt got along with 18 year olds even when I was 18, but I'm trying. I have a lot of thoughts about my experience so far, but I'm gonna save those thoughts for my last blog when this is all over so I don't speak from my emotions!
