This is what I'm deciding to call a study break.
Since last week, we've all been busily working on our Independent Study Projects... some have finished, some haven't even started. I'm just going to say that I'm somewhere in-between. :-) It is definitely crunch time since this coming weekend is my last weekend in Quito! I cannot believe it.
Last weekend I went out to visit my chicas at the Tianguez (my former work-place) and do some interviews for my project. Fiestas de Quito had started the night before and the parks and streets were all decked out and filled with people. It was an awesome way to remember the life within this city. I think sometimes I get so weighed down with the day-to-day hum drumming-ness that I forget what a beautiful place this is.
Tonight I'm heading to the Ecuadorian Folklore Ballet. A friend of mine from my internship is in it each Wednesday and she got me a complimentary ticket. I'm very excited and appreciate the change in schedule, even if it does take me away from my paper writing... darn (catch the sarcasm?)
That's all for now: finishing the paper this week, Fiestas de Quito this weekend, correcting paper and finishing internship hours next week, Despedida dinner Thursday, leaving Quito Saturday, Peru by the following Tuesday... and then MACHU PICCHU! It's gonna fly.
