So, here I am on the same metro one week later. Still don't have a place to live, but at least I've found other shocked lonely people in my TEFL class. It's not actually depressing like that, all I mean is the other people in my class (18 other girls and 4 guys!) are in the same boat and it helps. We have been hanging out a bit (read: sangria immediately following class) and I'm starting to make friends and see who I mesh with.
Related to this, I've also had my first night out until the wee hours, and it was a great preview of many such nights to come!
I've also moved apartments to a place through airbnb right next to school. It's a little box of a room, but the Ecuadorian family I'm staying with is super sweet and they've been feeding me churros and homemade flan! Hopefully I find that ideal apartment that I'm obsessed about in the next two weeks because I can't keep living out of a suitcase indefinitely.
Class has been an interesting experience. I like being on a steep learning curve again and I am starting to get used to the idea that I'll be a teacher in a month. I will have to worry about such things as making sure I have my board game and my color pencils in my bag before I leave the house. It feels bizarre, but I'm excited about it.
Here are some pics!

This is called studying
