Nothing Out of the Ordinary

Nothing out of the ordinary has happened recently. I'm just in Ecuador, why would anything out of the ordinary be happening? Haha, every day here is exciting. Even if nothing particularly exciting happens, it's all wonderful.
I've been sat on, multiple times. By three guys. At once. Yes, I did almost die. And, yes, it will most likely happen again. But even that has become a normal occurrence.
I have never walked so much in my life. And I love it. I love to walk places. I also love to wear shorts and flip flops almost every day.
Seeing the mountains out of nearly every single window has become common place.
Receiving some sort of injury (all small, but still painful enough to be annoying) compliments of Nathan, Josh and Daniel are to be expected.
Laughing so hard that my stomach hurts has become a daily occurrence.
So, nothing out of the ordinary has happened. Unless, of course, you count when I scared the bajeebers out of Nathan during Honey, If You Love Me because I made HIM awkward. Now, THAT was funny. Or if you count Josh playing with a sheep puppet...now THAT was special. Even more special than TJ (sorry Corisa). Or if you count getting in so many water fights, it has become an extraordinary visit from Nathan when I DON'T get wet. Or plotting many sinister plots against multiple people (I WILL get you guys back). Or going to a soccer game for $5. Or getting soaked after two minutes out in the rain (which I love). Or getting a tan (just kidding. I do not have a tan.).
Yep, we've decided (Eli, DK, Nathan, Hannah, me, etc, etc) that you guys will not recognize me when I get back. I'll be a totally different person. They are brainwashing me. And I'm enjoying every second of it. :D
Also, I am staying here.

Storm Chasers

Another non-fiction writing course composition. This project was a revision of the manifesto we did a while back. ( http://shaneenstravels.blogspot.ca/2016/01/new-year-new-adventures.html ) This is based on a true story - one of the greatest nights I've spent with some of my best friends. The night we chased the storm. The Greatest Adventure Story The night was enticing and full of potential. A storm raged outside, a call to the heart of an adventurer.  However, the young band of heroes curled up safe and dry in their lair, where the sounds of the wind and rain could not reach them.  The adventurers were taking a night off of their usual daring deeds, choosing instead to idly watch the night pass them by.             The hero of a great adventure story must be more interested in experiencing life than they are in merely passing the time.  Excitement comes far more easily and frequently to the active adventurer...

The Magic of HoCho

(Just a fun little writing project from my class to keep you warm on this wintry day.) Winter can be a tough time for everyone.  Days are shorter and often darker, bringing about seasonal doldrums.  The annual battle against the elements is a struggle felt by everyone, whether working out in the blizzards, driving on the icy roads, or hauling a toboggan up the slippery hill.  When the frosty grasp of winter works its way past toques and scarves and settles into the bones, the cold can seem impossible to escape.   But fear not!  There is yet a beacon of light and warmth in the vast wintry plains, a small comfort, bringing hope to even the most frozen of winter sufferers.  It is hot chocolate!  That glorious miracle of a delicious hot beverage, come to restore feeling to the extremities and joy to the heart.   In the beginning days of hot chocolate, Mayans and Aztecs believed the drink to have medicinal properties, probably du...

New Year, New Adventures

My last writing assignment of last semester was to write a manifesto.  The topic could be as broad or specific as we wanted - topics chosen by my classmates ranged from general advice on how to live a good life to enjoying rain to internet trolling...quite the range of characters we have in that little class. Honestly, this assignment was giving me a lot of issues, and I still am not happy with the way it turned out.  There's maybe two lines in this whole composition that I'm mildly proud of.  However, the message behind it, I am entirely supportive of (obviously, or I wouldn't have made it into a manifesto).  So, here it is, my manifesto for adventure. Manifesto for Adventure                 Nowadays, people are focussed on all the wrong things: money, status, acquiring material possessions.  People are surviving and thriving, but no one is really LIVING .  As residents of t...
