Who needs classes anyway?

Don't worry, this is the right blog. I decided I like this template better!

Not much to share as of now - this week was a bit hectic, as I have yet to finalize my schedule. I actually think it's one of the most complicated things I've ever done. The classes are strange lengths and meet on random days. For example, there could be a class that meets Monday mornings for 1 hour and Thursday afternoons for 1 hour and 40 minutes. It causes for a lot of overlap (especially with the IES classes), which is making things extra complicated. I have to make final decisions by tomorrow, so I'll let you know how it works out next week! Tomorrow afternoon I'm heading off to the cloud forests of Mindo with a bunch of the IES students. It's about a 2-hour bus ride and it’s supposedly a beautiful town with tons of wildlife and lots of fun activities like hiking, rafting, zip lining, etc. I’m really excited!

Here are some pictures of the Catholic university! Although some of the buildings resemble offices, it’s a very pretty campus with a lot of greenery. I love the fact that I can always turn around and the see the mountains! It's about a 10 minutes walk from my house, which is convenient. I've successfully learned to take the bus for 25 cents to my IES classes, which takes about 25 minutes including a bit of walking and waiting.
