No Apagues la Luz < Don't Turn Off the Lights (Enrique Iglesias)
The replacement teacher came just a little while ago, and SORPRESA! The class is now in English. No offense really nice Canadian lady, but I signed up for a class in Spanish, and so did the 5 other Ecuadorians in my class. I'm actually not sure if the Ecuadorians are even pissed about it (the university I'm at is faaancy-schmancy, a.k.a. most of the kids previously went to some sort of bilingual/multilingual private school where they almost certainly learned English, but I'd rather not make that assumption). I guess we'll just have to wait and see if me and another Ecuadorian girl (who I already know speaks fluent English) will have to translate things for the rest of the class or not. Ah, bueno :P

APPARENTLY my archaeology class is being taught in English now... Not the woman's fault who is teaching the class (very nice, pretty decent lecturer & such) but our nutzo professor's... At the beginning of the year he decided he could teach 3 separate classes (Arqueología Andina, Sociedades Amazónicas, and something else) while also holding a job as the "Vice Minister of Culture" with the Ecuadorian government. About 3 weeks into classes he decided he couldn't do it all, and began to give up the classes for the government job, WITHOUT TELLING US. He skipped about 4 or 5 classes (at 8:30 in the morning mind you, so I woke up at 7ish for nada) and then later apologized and explained to us how he was going to find a replacement (this also took up a whole class, without spending any time actually teaching us anything)
