Yeah, I'm a jean-ass. Hmph, so let's get to updating here, I haven't done it in awhile. I was at the beach Saturday through Monday. It was okay but the place we stayed wasn't spectacular. I shared a cabina with Laura and Adriana, so at least I had space. We had to drive a little bit to actually get to the beach so mostly we just laid around the ( Read more... )

The point to my title is actually that I'm leaving for the beach for a few days around 5 tomorrow morning. But as a random fact, Costa Ricans pronounce bitch and beach the same, I had to coach my CR mother on which was which. Anyways, I'm glad to be going to the beach. I'm getting a little lonely here, definitely missing my life a little bit. I've ( Read more... )

So I'll start with yesterday. I went out shopping for quite awhile with Weaver, her exchange student, and her friends. We had a nice time. We went to the biggest mall in Costa Rica... it's really nice! Most of the stuff is more expensive than it would be in America but I found some sweet deals. I got 2 shirts and 2 pairs of shoes (and lip gloss ( Read more... )

Welp, I've caved, I've finally caved I've done something I did not expect myself to do for the life of me: I watched TV, even MTV and cheesy sitcoms, even more than just one show. Oh God. I have gone without for 3 full years, with the exception of trhe presidential debates this past fall. (Though I imagine politics are far worse than most TV shows ( Read more... )

Hmmph. Let´s start with yesterday. We went out for a late lunch at the mall and then looked around a little bit. My CR mom bought me a cute little pillow with a stuffed dog on it that says something about sleeping in spanish. Then I came home and read and laid around some more. That night Adriana and Laura went out to a party but I couldn´t join ' ( Read more... )

Heh, so this entry is nowhere near as interesting as my title. Yesterday I had una día libre! Yay. That was nice, I got up and had time to shower and *blow dry my hair*!! The rest of the day I pretty much laid around and watched TV and read and ate. Ahhhhh. That was amazing. That evening I met Weaver and Amanda and their exchange students and their ( Read more... )

Heh. So let´s start with yesterday evening. One of my family´s very nice looking cousins came over with his friend? and cooked us dinner. It was amazingly good. They spoke in turbospanish the whole evening and I could hardly follow it, much less join in the conversation so I took my bad spanish and watched a cheesy movie instead. This morning was ( Read more... )

Hmmph. So today my "family" took me to see a big volcano. It was actually a crater... the biggest one in the world. It was pretty sweet. We had to walk TONS to see it though. I was wearing uglyshoes so that was fun, haha. My thigh slimification process is actually starting before marching band this year. (Band always takes the fat off my thighs ( Read more... )

Ah! So I think this Costa Rica business is looking pretty nice. For the past two days our group (meaning the spanish class kids) have been on a trip to a rainforest canopy and Tabacon. That awful song should be rewritten "almost heaven Tabacon." Just as little work and no incest. But first, the canopy tour. It was quite cool. We were all harnessed ( Read more... )

Welp, I´m here. The trip here was sheer hell. We were supposed to fly to Miami and then to Costa Rica. Thanks to Dennis that didn´t quite work out. We sat around forever stuck in the ticket counters at Cleveland until they decided they could get us on a flight to Chicago. Well, problem is, only half of us had tickets before the plane took off. So ( Read more... )
