That essay I don't want to write is 2 pages in Spanish on a pre-Incan culture. Kath and I went to La Casa de Cultura last Saturday to do our research. I would have taken pictures, but it wasn't allowed. But I drew pictures instead! So... two pages on a people who in the museum only had three tiny paragraphs about them. Completely ridiculous assignment. How am I not suppose to look off the internet?
Well I picked the Machalilla tribe who were around 1,600-800 BC (in Spanish its AC antes de Cristo, slightly confusing). And this tribe flattened their foreheads as a sign of status. And that's it. Tell me can you get two pages of Spanish out of this... guess I am going to be talking about my thoughts on the museum and the represented cultures there..
It was pretty wild to look at the flattened skulls though. I was into it.
The only class I have today is Conversation at 2:30... feels like a waste of a dollar to get out to campus for one class, in which the teacher frightens me. She's a yeller. Oh well. Just will have to talk to some nice Ecua's to improve my Spanish. For instance I am not friends with the security guard Fernando, he watches over the shops next to the bus stop. Nice guy.
But I swear if one more Latin tells me I am the most beautiful woman to have walked the earth (which is what Fernando said yesterday) I might just vomit. Telling me I have beautiful eyes is one thing.. but seriously? I did the unladylike and definitely NOT "the most beautiful woman to walk the earth" thing and snorted a good two times at that quote.
I know they don't actually mean it... so why say it? Cause they're romantic Latin's and its their God given right as men to harass in the most minor of ways.
Well... I promise to a happy camper today. Love you all.

Whit.... Enjoy those compliments... cause when you age, you'll still be beautiful, but hardly anyone will acknowledge it!! Good luck on your report. How did they flatten their foreheads? You can take pictures of your drawings and post them! Email you later!
Suzy's right, enjoy the compliments, I think they do mean it. Just don't go home with any of them. :) Any chance you could use some humor in writing about the flatheaded pre-Inca's? This post was pretty interesting and funny. Raining here most of the day. Going to be that way for a while they say. Missing you my lovely Whitney. Love you lots. Momma
Hey Whitters,
Compliments, when felt to be insincere, are tough to swallow. It feels like the jokes on you right? I got hit on several times in France (like, they came and sat next to me in the Laundry mat and asked if I'd move in with them). I wasn't flattered because I know I looked foreign (blonde is not common in France, everybody is a brunette) and therefore gullible, and none of these guys were attractive.
Good luck with the paper! I understand your reluctance and sympathize. No papers due yet, thank you God. Will email you later.
Love Reme
Wit,
I thought I was the most beautiful woman to ever walk the earth.
WTF?
Keep posting pictures of chickens. I want to see what a non-cornfed chicken looks like.

First...hahaha...at Ty...he is a funny guy.
2nd..FOR GOD'S SAKE WHITNEY..you are the most beautiful woman with the most beautiful eyes...in ANY country.
3rd..don't go home with any of them no matter WHAT they say!
I'm sure you will fake your way through that paper and come out with flying colors.
Too bad for the yeller..so annoying..why do people have to be that way?
If you're blonde, then your sister is going to be white..better cover her head eh?
All in all it sounds like you're doing well..that orange jacket must be really cute. Too bad we can't send you a darker one in a package that won't get stolen.
Umbrella good idea.
Love you dear..so very much.
