The Beginning of the Lasts

So this might be the second to last entry I ever write. At the end of last week, I did nothing exciting and just did homework and hung out with my family. The past weekend I did a lot of homework in terms of writing. I wrote 5 papers in one weekend for education classes, and I ended up doing them all on time, even early. I had them all done by Sunday night so the rest of the week was left for Spanish and preparing for that final (which was my only test this semester). Monday was pretty much a free day. I only had class that morning and then that afternoon, I went with three other girls to go canopying. It was really fun and I'm glad I decided to go. I did a superman thing while going and also an upside-down one. Anyways, that was my excitement for that day. Tuesday I had my Ecuador Experience class in the afternoon and we went to the nursing home where my teacher's husband is at. It was a really nice place and we got a tour and everything. It kind of made me think of grandpa though because her husband couldn't remember who she was at the time and he was just so frail. I tried talking to him a bit but he was so sick and old that he couldn't hear or answer. I know the other two girls from Ambrose who went with me were a little disappointed in how she talked about him and not to him, but in all reality I thought that it was normal. He was half asleep and couldn't hear anything so she was talking to us not him. Anyways, afterward I stopped at the store and bought ingredients for oreo balls. I did my Spanish homework when I got home and then went to bed. Wednesday I had my spanish class again so I went to school in the morning and then had a meeting about Peru right after, so I just decided to stay around the area for lunch. After, I went home and worked on the slide show because it was decided that I would make a slide show for the farewell dinner we were having this Friday. My brother and I made oreo balls that night...about 70 of them. It took until about 1am to finish because there were so many but that was ok because they were really good. Thursday I had nothing so I stayed home all day and worked on that slide show until I finished and also studied for my Spanish exam the next morning. My friend came over really late and all she did was homework but that was okay because it forced me to study a bit more than I normally would have. She left really late and I went to sleep right after she left. I woke up and went to take my test and then came home and hung around with my brother for a few hours before getting ready for the farewell dinner. After the dinner, some of us decided to go out for a while. However, I did not stay long at all because I was very tired and I was so overwhelmed with emotions of all sorts, but none of them really about being sad I was leaving surprisingly. It was stress, tiredness, exhaustion, worry, excitement, etc, etc. And now here I am writing this blog. Tomorrow we leave for Peru for a week and then I will be the only one returning to Cuenca. We leave at 2:30 in the afternoon so I bet there will be lots of tears from everyone else. Chau!
