Since I’d said I’d go, I had to wake up early to go to Glenca’s house with Adriana. Of course, if I would have known what I know now I wouldn’t have gone because Adriana and I were late for Yonseili’s presentation. It was time-consuming to get a taxi due to the rain. We had to be at Glenca’s at 8am and arrived at 8:45. She talked about authority and what the bible says about it. I made it a point we had to leave early, but of course Ecuadorians are always running late so I shouldn’t have counted on me telling them to be enough. They still wanted to have breakfast. Adriana had made empanaditas to eat there. They took their sweet time eating and talking. I was dying inside from the stress, the anxiety. We finally left and I knew that we wouldn’t make it. Adriana was super calm and kept telling me we’d be fine because they probably wouldn’t start the presentation right at 10. And to top it off the taxi driver we got was all calm. I had to breathe in and out and hope Yonseili wouldn’t kill me. We asked the taxi driver to wait for us outside the house while I ran in, brushed my teeth and got my exhibition stuff. Para la calle Noruega y 6 de Diciembre is where we headed. I prayed to God that the presentation wasn’t over.
When we got to school Adriana and I had begun to go up to the top floor but then Carolina stopped us and told us the presentation was elsewhere so she walked us. We walked in to Yonseili’s very nice presentation. She was smooth. Yonseili and I had a heart-felt moment after everyone left the room. Regarding my presentation, I must say Yonseili’s affected mine in a good and different way than I thought my presentation would have been. It was a very sentimental moment I think for many in the room, especially us two.
After the presentation Adriana and Yonseili accompanied me to the historic center so that I could look for some jerseys. The weather was absolutely horrible. We were in traffic FOREVER! I finally got the jerseys right away and we were in traffic for another 45 minutes and that led us to arrive to our presentation just in time. After our graduation we said our goodbyes. I felt so relieved to be done with school. We came home after graduation and I just hung out. The rest of the evening was smooth. I finished a lot of my packing today.
Highlight of the day: Graduating of course.
where is the awesome reaction box? dude... i did not know how much you made it a priority to be on time for my presentation. means a lot actually. I guess Ecuadorians never really have an important place to be or else they would not be late. LOL.
