let it be

Pardon me for not updating in a while. It´s just that during school week, nothing fantastically exciting ever happens. I wake up in the morning, make breakfast, plan lessons, get lunch, and teach from 3 to 7PM. Then I come home, exhausted, read or watch a movie, make dinner, and go to sleep. At least I have a routine now. That´s comforting.

Last night we had a party. It was supposed to only be a get together of a few people before going out to Casa Tinku, which most of us did, but Charles stayed behind with another teacher who doesn´t live at our apartment to keep an eye on the place and the random Ecuadorians in it. We went to Casa Tinku because there was a Beatles tribute band playing and they were super good. The singer of the band was English so that was helpful to hear an English-speaking person singing. The rest of the band was seemingly Ecuadorian. It was good too because every time we go out and see live music I have no idea what the songs are and can´t sing along. It seemed that all the teachers that went to the bar to see the tribute band really enjoyed being able to sing the songs with the band. And it was really funny watching the locals sing the words they knew of the songs too. We stayed at Tinku until about 1:45 and then Annabel and I went home to find about 10 random guys sitting in our living room, all of our alcohol gone, and Charles passed out in his bed. We proceeded to kick everyone out with no problem whatsoever since they were all pretty nice guys and we just sitting around listening to music. However, after they left, we noticed that not only was all the alcohol we bought completely gone, but they had also eaten a bunch of our food while we were away including the jar of Nutella I bought. The nerve! And someone had eaten Charles´s hotdogs, which we realized after seeing of hot dog puke all over one of our bathrooms. What a situation.... it was pretty weird, but oh well, it could have been a lot worse for sure.

The weekend goes by way too quickly. Hope you all had a good one :)
