Last night was one of the last free nights we are to have in Costa Rica. So I went out with Mill & Mary Kate to do something. Anything. We eventually went to Bar Amigos, got one drink, and then headed over to Rumba. It was actually a lot of fun, besides the vulture-like men bothering Mill & MK. They don't bother me as much. Maybe because I'm chubby ( Read more... )

Well, I still haven't written in this blog, or even my personal journal, as much as I had planned before coming. However I guess it's better that I've spent my time enjoying the CR experience and doing homework. =) I only have about 10 days left here. Wow! This past month has flown by. Just a little while ago was Spring Break, then Semana Santa, ( Read more... )

My "vacation" week off that was Holy week is now gone. I don't much feel like it was a vacation. I mostly remained in my room working on projects and long papers, which were that much worse because I had to write it all in Spanish. Pain in the butt. I better get good grades for those. I turned in my big lit paper yesterday and will have to have a ( Read more... )

Not much to update except that I've uploaded a bunch more pics to my pictures website.

I've been home ( Read more... )

 

Here is a video of our group from Aquinas on Costa Rican TV news. I didn't see myself on it - thank God they cut me out. I would have embedded it, but Kyla disabled the embedding option. *shrug*
VIDEO!!!

Anyway, life's been more hectic here than I anticipated. I had a really hard oral exam today. I usually have no problem with oral exams, but the ( Read more... )

Ah, been busy busy lately. This past week has been relatively fun. Went shopping. Worked on the reforestation project, aka put organic-material-soil into bags to plant trees in. Did a lot of homework & finished my first take-home test. Been watching a new Korean Drama (which is really good, by the way) called Bad Couple. The big festival in Santa ( Read more... )

I've not left the house all day, but for once I'm not bothered by that at all. I was more than relieved to be back "home" after vacationing at ManuelAntonioNational park for 2-3 days. The vacation there was a blast, it was just the return trip that was bad. Unfortunately, ( Read more... )

The other day I ate at a Costa Rican Chinese restaurant. I had beef fried rice. <3 It was pretty good, but need some more soy sauce. Most interesting was the menu of typical Costa Rican food and burgers on there as well. XD End of story.

So I've been trying to figure out how to post these photos online and flickr wants me to pay a $25 fee for a year of unlimited space. Unfortunately I didn't realize that the free version was limited. Now I've found a better website and will be transfering my photos there from now on. So far I just have the photos from the opera and Monteverde ( ( Read more... )
