I fell in love with a girl. I am also an Ecuadorian.

I have spent the last hour or so at the Ecuadorian consulate. I remember coming here when I was younger and applying for my citizenship. My mother is renewing her Ecuadorian passport because she is going to Ecuador this May for my cousin's wedding. I never got my passport from Ecuador, but I haven't been there in over five years. When you say that to a normal person it sounds like a short amount of time but I have only been alive for 15 years so five years is a third of my life. My iPhone is running out of battery and that is what I am writing this blog post on. I have a triple citizenship. I think that having that makes me special. Many white people don't keep up with their families at home, and this isn't something that is their fault, it is just because when they immigrated to the US they didn't have the technology to be communicating with their families. This generation is seeing another wave of immigration, but a key difference is that there is communication within the families, so Latinos keep their ties with their origin countries. Facebook is huge is Ecuador and before that existed MSN messenger was huge. And everyone uses Skype down there. White people nowadays can't get their citizenship to their origin counties because their ties were forced to be broken. I have my citizenship, and it is pretty easy to get it. All I needed was to have my mother be a citizen of Ecuador, so when I grow up and have my children they can have their Colombian and Ecuadorian citizenships. And then they can pass it down to their children and this can continue on and on. 

The field trip yesterday to the city was fantastic. I don't know really what to say about "Old Hats" other than that it was amazing. I was surprised with the amount of music that was in the show, and it was a pleasant surprise. If I liked girls then I think I would fall in love with Nellie  McKay. It was her voice. Not just the way that it sounded but the things that she said. During the intermission she walked around the audience and sang a list of important things that happened today in history. She read of the page and she would make mistakes because this haven't been rehearsed, but you wouldn't care because she was that adorable. She is confident and outgoing, and you can tell that just through her voice. I feel like I know her. I never talked to her, and I can barely remember her name, but I feel that I know who she is. You want to be her friend, and she probably has boys falling in love with her constantly because she is just that likable, you want to love her. When they hired her they probably realized this, and she was just as important to the success of the show as the actors. I have two percent battery left so I'll end this here. Thank you for reading.
