10, almost 9

I'm going home so soon. Just today I started to get a little sad about leaving here, like so sad that I was thinking maybe I should stay, but then I think about it a little more and then I'm ready to go home again.

Things have been going well lately. My birthday was fine, definitely relaxing. I got a tattoo that I'm not in love with yet which is a total bummer.  But I am planning to get it fixed / more added to it when I go home. It'll be a good souvenir regardless.

I've been looking online for recipes for ecuadorian food I can make when I get home so I'm pretty excited to be able to prepare some ecuadorian food for my family.

Tomorrow starts the last week of classes for me. It's the last weeks of the cycle and I think it'll be the most stressful week of the whole course because of final exams, presentations, etc etc. Hopefully it isn't too awful. I would like my last week here to be enjoyable.

I'm leaving Loja on the 29th and then if my flight out of here isn't cancelled, I will be staying in Guayaquil for a day/night and flying out of Guayaquil, through Miami, Chicago, and land in Milwaukee late on the 30th. Flights to Guayaquil from Loja lately have been cancelled for some reason so I need to go to the travel agency that I purchased the ticket from tomorrow to see if they can find out why the flights are cancelled and what the likelihood of mine being cancelled is because there is only one flight to guayaquil a day and if my flight is cancelled, i'll have to take the 45 min trip back to Loja and then get on a bus ASAP to Guayaquil to make the 10 hour ride there rather than the 45 minute flight...... ugh. I hope it doesn't come to that. One way or another, I am getting home on June 30th!
