es tiempo.
I know, I know. It's been a little while since I've actually posted shame on me but what the heck? I'm in freaking Costa Rica! So, what do you want to hear about today? I'll give you a little summary of my week, THIS should be interesting.
Monday - I had LA Cultures class and my professor talks. really. slow. but he rambles about all kinds of things. I'm telling you right now that ONLY thing I have gotten out of this class is that in the Pre-colombian times of Latin America *I think* the cities were laid out in squares. I think this is what they called the "New World" but IDK. I am NOT a history guru so this is SO not my thing. I enjoy it I guess but its school. ANYWAYS, after class we went walking in the city to buy things that we needed (like post cards and stuff you know!)
Tuesday - I had Spanish Conversation and LA Art. LA Art is with the same teacher and we talk about the SAME. EXACT. THING. as LA Cultures apparently I don't have the appreciation for Architecture begin considered art because this is allllll that we talk about. ANYWAYS, moving on. Also, on Tuesday I had Cooking Class and we made sea bass with a fresh salad with this delicious homemade dressing, tomato and avacado. We also made fried plantains and gallo pinto (a VERY popular tico food). Gallo Pinto is rice and beans but mixed together. We eat it for breakfast along with my very interesting eggs with hotdogs - YES, i just said eggs with hotdogs mixed in. haha. not my fave.
Wednesday - I only have class from 11 to 12 and it is quite lovely. In my Spanish Conversation class we had to do a dialogue using Tico idiomatic expressions like "Pura Vida" which can seriously be used for whatever you want. How are you? Pura Vida. Hello. Pura Vida. What did you do last night? PURA VIDA! I absolutely love it. Anyways, I didn't do much Wednesday night because I got a cold !
Thursday - Woke up feeling like trash and just knew it would be a wonderful day. It SUCKED. I was more homesick than everrrrrrr. OH, and let me not forget that while walking to school (it's about a 40 minute walk downhill) I crashed and burneddd! I literally got taken out by the ground. It was horrible. Luckily my host brother was at the bus stop and he helped me. When I get the chance, I'll put the picture up. It's pretty gross. Anyways, to end my stupid day I got to skype with my mama :) I love seeing my families faces. I miss them so much!
Friday - I haven't been having the best digestion situation since I've been here, I have a cold and I also busted up my foot so pretty much I went to the doctor. They said my digestion issue is whatever and my cold is whatever but they gave me anti inflammatory shots in my butt YES MY FREAKING BUTT for my back thats been hurting and my foot. Also, I got a prescription for some pills (oh yeah, you know) jk! They are like anti inflammatory or whatever. Pretty much, they don't want me to blow up (which I already am cause I am eating so much) After my traumatic experience at the doctors office, I went to Leah's house because she made Barbecue Chicken Pizza for her family and it was SO GOOD! haha! I love hanging out with families here, it's so nice!
bahah, well tomorrow, even though my foot is torrrre up I am going on a day trip to Santa Maria de Dota! haha I have no idea what it is but I'm going to read about it my travel book and prepare for the best! I'm excited because apparently its beautiful! YAY! well I might post tomorrow about my trip. Should be fun! :)
Love you guys and Thanks for reading!
