Ocupada

I´ve been crazy busy lately with all the things I have to turn in this month. Last weekend I had plans to go on an amazing hiking trip to this place called Quilatoa loop but my plans fell through and I ended up staying in Quito.
I went to this really cool Electrotango show. It´s tango music but electronic, and it´s really good! They also had two dance partners and they were amazing! It was really great. I mostly just bummed around Quito other than that and got a lot of work done.
Today I´m going on a trip to Mindo with my University. Mindo is supposed to be really great, but the trip is ridiculous and I´m actually really angry about it. Included in our tuition for the trip is $100 alloted to a trip with the University. I´ve been trying to get my money for my galapagos trip all year to put it to better use, but I couldn´t get it. I sent a bunch of emails to office of international programs here and in Wisconsin and each party is just blaming the other. Anyways, the money was älready spent and we can´t get reimbursed¨ 2 weeks ago on this trip... and this is all it includes; private transport (2 1-2 hours each way), one night in a hostel, and three meals. I´m sorry, but this does not add up to $100. If I were to go to mindo by myself and stay in a cheap hostel, it would be $20 for all of that... so with a nice hostel and private transportation, I don´t see how that would be an extra $80... anyways, I´ll stop ranting, but I´ve just been really annoyed with a few administrative things here... my galapagos class as well, but that is a different story.
So i´m going to have a positive attitude about this trip and hopefully it will end up being fun.
I don´t think i´ll ever get to go to the quilatoa loop which makes me really sad, but oh well. I´m really excited for my mom to come and later the galapagos, and to be done with school!
