Snooze to Laugh

It's Thursday. I had no reason to fight the wake-up this morning, but apparently, my brain felt otherwise. I had the day off of school yesterday-Small university and they had a professional devlopment day- so I guess today should have been Sunday. I laid with my eyes opened and urged the muscles to work. After waiting for a response til 7 am (should have been IN the shower 30 minutes before that), I finally decided I would gather my things and go get around. I haven't moved that slow in a long time. If it had been rainy or cold, there's not way I would have gotten up. Most mornings are nice, so that was in my favor.
The Ecovia wasn't packed like usual, but it was the Ecovia at 7:30am with a bunch of other people in the same mood as me. On the 2nd bus, I had a seat to myself, but a young fellow got on shortly after my excitement and took that empty place. That bus was full and had people in the aisle (that's a 30 minute ride by the way). I played Tetrus, or Russia as my phone calls it, and lost severly.
After my first class, I was back and forth in email land. No one had responded that I was waiting on-Max Mathis, Spanish advisor, my mother, L.Alonso, Dr. Smith- but did have personal emails, so that was nice, but I got through those rather quickly. I rushed through my Spanish, then went to class. Three people were absent, so it was the professor, Josef the Swede, Nathan, and Lacy. Fu-un. It was actually really nice because one of the three people missing is most likely an only child to a lawyer, NY housewife, and a nanny. Get it? I acutally participated today. I'm sure the teacher was impressed that I'm not a dummy. I usually just sit there because special one over-roles her Rs and nearly shouts everything that comes out of her mouth. I just want to turn her volume down.
Moving on, I printed 10 pages for a project that I skipped last Tuesday and will do this coming Tuesday in Spanish. Today's nutritous lunch, cough cough, was a slice of Hawaiian pizza with a mandarin dasani (they should sell it in the States). All of $1.50. wooo food prices here!
We are off of our syllabus in Shakesphere, so Mark (prof extraordinaire) decided today would be a sonnet day. There are 4 others besides me in that class, and one was absent. Interesting like always.
Then, it was group timefor geology (in English) project. Three Americans and 1 Ecuatoriana. The one who didn't show up even responded to my good ole Facebook message that she would be there. Ya, she didn't want to come, so she didn't, but she feels the need to be boss of the group. uh-huh. The three of us there got some stuff done. Sofia and I rode back to Quito together via Green Bus. She said to me, "I have not heard you speak Spanish, you should. ?Como te vas sobre de viaje Papallacta?" She asked me how I thought tomorrows geo trip to Papallacta would be (not exact trans, but that's what it means). That embarrassed me, and I majorly stumbled through a very poorly constructed sentence. and we laughed and I said I would practice with her next week. lacy=lame. yep. But I do want to practice, so I think I will try with her. hehe.
Ecovia was great as usual. Some light-eyed (ya!) Ecuadorian guy with curly hair shared my space with me. I made it to my bus stop. Walked up my huge hill, and turned the corner. When I got to my apartment, Camila's dad (wearing his aviators, olive green trendy-ball cap, sweater, converse, and cargos) was standing outside. We greeted each other and he said he was waiting for Camila because they were going out. I said in Spanish, You know you are here? and he looked at me, and I didn't realize I said YOU not SHE. He, being the very nice guy he is, looked past that and said ya, and then his phone rang and it was her. I was in the stairwell and realized I said the wrong thing and laughed. Then I passed Abulito. He was in a cheery mood, as usual. He nearly rivals {my} Papa on greatness.
I got in, washed my hands of the Ecovia, and had water and crackers with guayaba jelly. mmm.
Somehow, I managed to make a novel out of today. It started off crummy for whatever reason my brain felt was justifiable, but it turned out to go just dandy. Off to homework.
