Mucho que hacer!

Ahhhh... i realized today that I have way to much to do! Well, I have been procrastinating on homework, but I have a lot of planning to do for next semester as well!
I'm volunteering in the mornings on Mondays and Wednesdays at the orphanage which is great.
I have to get my Brazilian and Chilean Visas relatively soon... I also have to start figuring out what I'm doing in Peru and Chile...
Hmm..
Tonight I will have a new addition to my host family! My mother has a daughter who is married in Buenos Aires who is coming tonight and staying for about 2 months. My mother is having surgery on something and needs help around the house so she is coming. Her name is Susana Margarita and her husband is Juan Carlos.
Tomorrow is my grandmother's birthday, she will be 91 and apparently it is going to be a crazy fiesta. The tradition is pata de cerdo - pig's feet. I will be passing on that one. It is also going to be a surprise for her for Susana Margarita to be here.
This weekend are the elections for the asemblea in Ecuador.. similar to a congress. They will be creating a brand new constitution for the country---most ecuadorians who i've talked to don't think this will change anything. Anyways, 3 days surrounding the election NO ONE in Ecuador can drink any alcohol or they will be arrested. I asked my ecuadorian friend what kind of law this was and he said things have always been like this and he thought it was kind of a stupid law, but voting here is obligatory and maybe the government doesn't want the people to be drunk or hungover when they vote. It's a little strange!
Well, I'm off to work on a project!
