Beaches, Buses, Being Babied

I'm still in Ecuador and I still really wish I could have some better form of communication.  It is so frustrating to talk to people at a crowded internet cafe or in the middle of school where 30 people are attempting to use a horribly slow internet connection.  It makes me just want to go home.

However, I did have a great weekend at the beach.  The weather was perfect, there was a bonfire, lots of relaxation and only a little touch of sunburn.  The supposed 6-7 hour bus ride turned into a 10 hours, including 2 straight hours of not moving an inch, or a centimeter as they might say in South America.

I feel very blah, and not like I am exploring a foreign country.  The weekend trips are amazing, but the week is so long.  Then I feel like I am forced to be in school and at home 100% of the time.  I am treated like a little kid.  I am confused as to how this trip that I thought would make me more independent feels me like Babysitting 101...except I'm the one being babysat.  On a side note, I am shocked that babysat is a word.  It seems like something I'd heard on Teen Girl Squad.  Anyway, irrelevant. 

Well, unfortunately I have to return home like  a 14 year old junior high student so I can eat lunch.  I'll try to write more later.
