Can you tell Quito and I are fighting? We're two months into our relationship and its a bit rocky at the moment. Too much homework and too much smog mixed together cause rifts. Hopefully the storm tonight maybe it will water down my anger towards Quito.
Walking around in pre-storm weather is pretty cool though. The sky is orange and blue.. its chilly. And the Eucas are less concerned that a whitey is walking around and they stare less, which is nice.
Right now my host family is yelling between the rooms of each other. Muffled of course cause my door is closed. But I find it hilarious that I am not supposed to be loud at all. Sooooooo funny. Notski.
This is the life eh? Katherine and I wrote a list of goals for Ecuador while we're here and what trips we want to accomplish.. And we're going to do our best to meet them. Just have to budget.. which is an amazingly frustrating word. But this is life haha.
Things should be on the up and up. I am just waiting for that roller coaster incline.
Love you all.

Hello sweetheart, I like your new background. I was thinking about Clarkston today, the early mornings on the deck drinking coffee (your picture reminds me even more) how Button and Jack would hang out with us, your dad smoking cigarettes, leisurely discussion of all kinds of things. I wonder what your dad would have to say about everything going on in your life right now? I am enjoying your pictures on FB, thanks for posting. It has been a very busy day, worked out after work, feel a bit drained. Doug is doing a great job keeping our dinners reasonably small. Tomorrow we are going to look for costumes for Dee's party. Well my love, have a great week, send Doug an email about skyping, he wants to know specifics. :) Love, Mom
I have arguments with my environment from time to time too. I would be sick if I were in thick smog. You seems to be making the best of your visit to Quito.
It's good to set goals.
Still, hope you do well with your homework.
Suzy has been here helping me get ready for Halloween. I am SO thankful. She leaves tomorrow..but it's been good to have the support. It will make my week feel shorter.
And it's even better to be able to visit!!
Love you girl...but guinea pig? Ugh, made me queasy all evening. I'd better tell Darwin and Blaster that they are very lucky to live in America!!

So why can't you be loud??? Also, it sounds like this study abroad program could have been designed more clearly and thoroughly. SORRY!! don't hate me for critisising, I'm sure I would say something positive if I wasn't frustrated for you :) But I guess that is what I am saying, maybe this is a program that needs some help, some suggestions, advice, some help being planned for future students?? I bet they will very much appreciate experienced planners setting out a very well designed program. Just a crazy idea, one way to deal with the frustrations. First you could just vent on something, then take what you wrote and think what could have been done instead, get into detail, maybe make a project a of it??
Ah well, smile like a goof for no reason for a while and see if that works!! Better yet, find something that'll make you laugh!! Hmm, wish I was funnier, ahh well, Picture your whole family with mushrooms growing out of their heads!! Or consider who you would vote the "Maddest Hatter", (I know its you but you know, the next maddest ;)
Hugs!!
Procrastination is a bad habit that I have picked up. Today was a terrible week for homework. On the bright side, it was a good week for reading fantasy/sci-fi books, and for drinking tea and enjoying the rain, a wonderful and bizarre weeklong occurence. Hopefully it won't rain tomorrow. Its our first day of working on the garden! We're getting a sod ripper...
love reme
when do you want to skype?
