Sorry everyone. These past couple of weeks have been crazy busy with school, but I have finally found the time to sit and write. Although, I should probably be doing my homework, but that can wait, right?
So just an overview of these past couple weeks: We started our concentrations. My concentration is Advanced Language and Literature (AL&L). It sounds just as intense as it is. We read short stories, poems, and novels in Spanish. Most of them are actually really interesting. They all require deep thinking - which I am learning to love. The homework these past two weeks have been more laid back in the sense that I don't have due dates that are set in stone (which would usually be a problem for me because I am a huge procrastinator, but I am proud to say that it hasn't been an issue thus far). However, it is no laid back because everything is so deep. There are so many layers to everything that we are doing. It's a nice change of pace.
But more about the fun stuff...
My friends Sarah and Kelsey and I have discovered this amazing bakery just down the street from school. Everything is so good and cheap (important factor to already poor college students who are living in a foreign country). I don't always know what I am eating or what it is called, but I know that whatever I order (more like point to) is going to be good.
Another fun fact: my handwriting is permanently tattooed on Kelsey's back. Not many people can say that their handwriting is tattooed on someone else. The tattoo says "La Fe, La Esperanza & El Amor" (Faith, Hope, and Love). Sarah, Kelsey, Maddie and I went into San Jose on Saturday so that Sarah and Kelsey could get their tattoos (Don't worry, Mom. I stayed away from the ink).
I am leaving Monday to live in another part of Costa Rica for three weeks. There, I will be doing my internship of working on a flower farm. I am super excited!! I'm just warning you because I'm not sure when I will have internet next, so I don't know when I will be able to update the blog. I miss you all. Please pray for safety as I travel to my new home on Monday.
PS. Happy Birthday Kim!!!
