HYPER[VENTILATING]

- Tomorrow, I am expected to attend a youth event on my own. I will be representing El Churo ALL ALONE. IN SPANISH. IN SPANISH. IN SPANISH.

- The day after, I'll be leading an icebreaker amongst a group of youth for the radio workshop that El Churo will be holding in Esmeraldas (8 hrs away from Quito by bus). Once again, IN SPANISH. With YOUTH. Some of whom will be younger and many of whom will be older. IN SPANISH.

I actually don't think I've ever been SO NERVOUS in my life.
