I just finished writing the longest paper of my whole time in college, it's 17 pages and all about one patient that I took care of this semester. Pretty crazy, huh? But it's a pretty good paper if I do say so myself, I spent a lot of time on it and I think that my patient, if she knew I was doing this, should feel pretty special right now.
I had my interview for Ecuador yesterday. It was pretty hilarious. I haven't spoken Spanish in so long, add that to being nervous, and you get the worst Spanish ever. When they asked me what I ate yesterday (testing my vocab, which is totally gone!) all I could think of was leche y cereal, un sandwich, y helado (milk and cereal, a sandwitch, and ice cream). I was so annoyed with myself too because I came out of it and I rehearsed in my mind everything that I said in English that I couldn't think of in Spanish at the time, and of course I remembered how to say everything after the fact. Oh well, come what may. They said I'd find out before Thanksgiving...cross your fingers!

I LOVE this turkey layout, first of all, and your funny turkey photo in the sidebar.
Okay, about Spanish. After I got my mission call, but before I went into the MTC, someone from the MTC called me to test my Spanish level, to know if they should place me in a beginning or advanced group. They explained that to me, and then went into the Spanish mode, and of course, my heart started racing and I panicked. When the guy asked me "¿Como se llama?" I answered: "Muy bien, gracias." I ended up in a beginning level group.
