Returning once more...

So, I didn't do such an awesome job keeping up with my blog this summer when I was in Ecuador, mostly because I had no internet in my house. However, I have been given a second chance! That's right! I'm going back to Ecuador to study for an entire semester! I will leave the first week of January and return sometime in June. I have big, big plans for this trip! Firstly, classes start January 10th and don't end until May 15th. What a long semester, right? Then I plan on staying an extra month to do some serious traveling. My best friend, Shantala, and some of my greatest friends, Ty, William, and Peter will be studying in Cordoba, Argentina and I am really hoping I can find a cheap flight to spend some time with them! I am also considering writing my Senior Thesis on a topic specific to the Ecuadorian Amazon so I hope to do a little bit of research while I'm in the country. However, before I can get there I have to do all the paperwork, and calling, and emailing. I've been working really hard for over a month now trying to get all my applications in and the due date is sneaking up on me (Oct 20). So, keep your fingers crossed for me and be waiting on more updates!
