Jhoanna's family...some of them

Back From Ecuador

It was an awesome two weeks! I met Jhoanna's family and friends and ate like a king for every meal. I went to the beach for three days and am pretty sure I got 7th degree burns...all over! It was pretty rough after that but I'm alive and kicking. It was an excellent experience and Jhoanna and I are planning a trip to Norway sometime next year. School is fun kind of. I enjoy my makeup class for TH&F and I'm getting pretty good at painting things on my face. Yesterday I painted a Super Mario Brothers mushroom on my face...It was pretty cool...I am applying at Wal-Mart in Lawrence because I'm very bored with just going to school so It will give me something to do. I changed my major to something I think I might stick with...FINALLY!!! I'm going to major in Sociology and minor in Theater and Film. That's about it for right now...Oh and I'm devising a plan to take over the world...I'll write more later...

October 15th, 2008

The day before I leave for Ecuador(sorry about the italics I pushed something and now I can't figure out what it was. I clicked on the 'i' on the toolbar but to no avail). I'm pretty excited. I'm nervous too. I know a fair amount of spanish. I think it'll be enough to get me around for two weeks. Yesterday was good(haha, fixed the italics situation!!! Take that computer!!!). We did Period Historical in my make-up class and I was pretty girly looking. My partner was Ann Boleyn so that was fun. Otherwise I didn't do much yesterday(Tuesday's aren't my busiest days). I introduced my roommate Justin to old Clint Eastwood western's. I couldn't believe he had never seen "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly"! Talk about deprived childhood. To be fair I hadn't seen it until I was about 20 or so either. Oh well. So yeah, that's pretty much my life(Why did I put that note in parentheses about the italics? I fixed the problem but if that's true why didn't I just take both comments about parentheses out? Hmmm...)
