It's Friday and I didn't go to Puembo today and I don't really want to write an entry, but I'm more afraid and embarassed by failure. I told myself I would write an entry every day for this month (its ok if I write it one day and don't post it till the next, or if I write it for a school journal (see everything I write about Puembo) or if it is stupid or a silly list. MUST WRITE EVERY DAY)

Writing writing writing writing gotta pee.

Peed.

Some things that have happened recently

-Went to ICRP class and Galapagos seminar. We all have a lot of angst about our IRCPs and how to get good grades in the class. I'll stay quiet on the issue for political correctness, but I will share this quote

Teacher: So why were whalers so intent on hunting sperm whales in the Galapagos?

Impudent student (me): for the sperm?

Teacher: That's correct!

So it turns out that the word for sperm (esperma) is also a word for whale fat and thusly a word for candle. Meaning I could now say "Blow out the esperma, its getting late" and it would be COMPLETLEY CORRECT. Except in spanglish and I don't really use candles that much. But still!

-Just spent $430 on plane tickets to Cuenca for next weekend. For myself and two friends who are paying me back, but still. I feel like my mom is going to have a fainting spell.

-Speaking of medical emergencies, I tried to go swimming today. I was like 500 m in when I got this horrible cramp in my shoulder. Certain it was a heart attach, in reality gas pain, I kicked with a kickboard for 150 m and then got out and took a really long shower

-Speaking of swimming, I met my CONFIDENTIALLY MAINTAINED friend at the pool and we had a swimming lesson: the frog kick. she's a little scared of the ocean so we are getting ready for the Galapagos.

-So you know how my abuela has the dental clinic in her house? where malcolm lives? And the clinic has a guard to let people in and he has a girlfriend and the girlfriend won her town beauty pagent and we met her today and she is beautiful and totally silent.

-I have a cold and the main symptoms are abundant yellow-orange snot and a feeling of dizziness. It's not just normal cotton head. It feels like a combination of standing up when you have low blood pressure and having the spins when you are very drunk. Advil seems to help for no apparent reason. It doesn't hurt! How could Advil help?!?!

-I watched 3/4 of the Facebook movie and it was actually good and made me glad I left the east coast.

-Tomorrow is the 14th which means have been here for five months which means we barely have a month left. Alpha and Omega.
