ah Dios mios

sooo, my computer broke, if you didnt already know this! I went somewhere down the street from my house to fix the problem...which he did. But now, there is more problems. The company that fixed the problem deleted some software that I need in order to use my computer since my computer is from my school. So, i either have to pay $130 to send it back to the USA and wait a month to receive my new one, or not have a computer for the rest of the time being here.

Anyways, nothing too exciting has happened here. Just hanging out and doing class work all the time. I feel so out of the loop from everyone!

I am at the library now and I need to finish my homework before I leave to go home for lunch. I will write more later! Love you all! :)

A whole weeks worth :)

Monday-I had class till 1-went to the ISEP office. After, I came home and ate lunch. I then went to Central Heredia with Kelly and sent some postcards to the family, then went to the bank because I had to deposit $400 for my tutor-after waiting for 30 minutes I realized I didn’t have my passport so we waited 30 minutes for nothing! Haha opps! I came home, ate dinner, and did homework!

Tuesday: I had class till 1, then I went home, had lunch, went to central Heredia to do some errands, I bought school supplies, came home ate dinner, and did homework. Such an exciting life! Ha

Wednesday: I had class from 8-930. After, I went back to the bank to deposit my $400 for my Spanish tutor. Then, I went and met up with Luis in the library to work on our homework for our administracion de recursos humanos 2 class. After, we went to taco bell to get lunch then I went to class. I love my group for this class. They are all very funny and nice. I don’t know what they say half of the time because they talk so fast, but it’s always a good time. After class, I went to POPS to get some ice cream then worked on some homework with Lauren. Then, I went to the mall with some ISEP friends, we walked around, I bought glue for one my classes, and I went and saw eclipse for the second time. It was just as good as when I saw it for the first time. After, we took taxi’s home and I worked on homework!

Thursday-nothing interesting. I had class from 1 till 7 then came home and worked on homework

Friday-I didn’t have class soooo I got to sleep in! I went to a bar near the university with some ISEP friends! It was so much fun and nice to get out of the house and not be working on homework! I drank cranberry and vodka and apple martini! Both were really good and very strong! After the bar, we went to Mcdonalds, which I didn’t need. I got fries and a McFlurry! After we ate, we took a taxi home. Taxi rides are always very interesting/awkward. Glad I wasn’t alone.

Saturday-did absolutely nothing

Sunday-I went to a coffee shop near the university with 3 other ISEPers. We worked on homework for a little bit, and then went to POPS to get ice cream! I didn’t do much this either.

Monday-MY PACKAGE FINALLY CAME FROM MY MOM!!!!! I was so so excited! It had some presents for my host family, and they loved them!! They each got a USA shirt, and my little host sister got a bag, 2 beach balls, and a book in English with all the different types of Animals! I sat down and read her the book. While we were reading, I was chewing gum and would blow a bubble. She would get so scared of the bubble! It was hilarious. I wish I was better at explaining things but when I started blowing the bubble, she would make this scared face and put her hand over her eyes, I am guessing to protect herself from my bubble? Haha I don’t know, but it was super cute! I taught her how to say bubble too! Its more like, “bubbay” but it still works! She is so cute. She reminds me of my nieces/nephews and I cant wait to come back home to them!!!!!!! My mom also put some candy in my package….one being junior mints. I think she forget those are chocolate…because they are not junior mints anymore. More like a big ball of melted chocolate. It’s the effort that counts I guess! THANKS MOM! She also packed the New Moon book. I have only read the first one, so now I can finally read the second one! Hopefully I will have time to read it in between all my homework and classes here! She also got me twizzlers! Gosh, I am spoiled! Okay, that’s all for now. I have a tutor from 1-230 then I will be working on homework the rest of the day/night and teaching my little host sister body parts in English! Hasta luego!

p.s. sorry if there are a lot of mistakes in this entry. I typed this super fast! Also, I am finding it very difficult to type/talk in English! My mind is constantly in Spanish mode here so its weird to “switch over”. Weirddd. Okay, bye!

4.more.months.

Friday-I had no class….I finally found the nerve to go running!!! I found a very very small park near my house, so if I run around it about 50 times, that’s about 20 minutes worth of running. People probably think I am crazy for running around it but I need to start running again and this is my only option! After I was done running, I had lunch with my family and then went to school to meet Luis to work on our HHRR 2 homework. After, Luis and I went to a pizza place nearby then met some other ISEP students to go see “el villiano favorite” in 3D. It was pretty funny and I could understand most things! I must be learning some Spanish!

Saturday- I went to the mall with my host dad, my host sister, and her friend. I didn’t really do much this day. I attempted to work on my online class. This online class is taking forever because I have no motivation to do it. Before we went to the mall, my host sister came into my room and told me that she was robbed the night before in front of her dad’s apartment. She was with another boy. The two boys who robbed her, one had a knife and the other had a gun. The robbers took her purse, which had her wallet, money, school stuff, keys, makeup, umbrella, etc. in it. Her friend had an Iphone and the robbers took that. I am so glad nothing serious happened and that she is okay. This kind of freaked me out so the rest of the weekend I just hung out here at home.

Sunday- I went to San Jose with two other girls from ISEP. We went to a different mall, I found new earrings! Yay. And that’s about it.

Monday-I didn’t really do much either. I worked on homework and translated all of my syllabuses for my classes. I am so nervous.

Also, I am thinking about running in 3 different half marathons this next summer. I want to the do the Lincoln National Guard one with my sorority sisters, the National Breast Cancer Awareness one for my Aunt Sarah, and the Crohn’s & Colitis foundation one for my little sister. If anyone wants to start training and do them with me, let me know!! I would love to not run by myself! I hope they are spaced out through the summer and not all in the same month.

This is all for now, I guess. Four more months till I am home and I CAN'T WAIT
