OKAY! I'M SO EXCITED!
I figured out my schedule for next semester, kinnnd of.
It all really depends on how I feel about the classes once I'm in them and if I want to switch or whatever.
I have alternates in mind, but this is the ideal schedule:
M

EAI 315 - Gramática Avanzada - Advanced [Spanish] Grammar - 11-11:55 AM
SOC 340 - Género y Sociedad - Gender & Society - 12-12:55 PM
T
SOC 290 - Problemas Sociales en Ecuador - Social Problems in Ecuador - 10-11:25 AM

All of my classes for the first semester (AKA "fall semester," but there is no fall in Ecuador! AHH!) are in two buildings: Galileo and Da Vinci. This is what they look like:
Galileo:
Da Vinci
The rest of the campus is absolutely beautiful, too.
La Universidad San Fransicso de Quito (USFQ) is super small and super wealthy. It's kind of comparable to Kalamazoo, academically. I'll be living with a family in the Cumbayá Valley, which is just outside of Quito.
I leave 20 August 2009 and return sometime around 16 May 2010.
NINE MONTHS.
READY?
READY!!
