It Rains A Lot!

Hello all -

Today has been a pretty good day! Yesterday was pretty rough though. My friend from class and I walked to the mall, but we got lost, so it took us a lot longer than it should have! It was also raining the entire time, because of this, my stuff got soaked! My new book on Costa Rica has rippled pages now, and my passport paper copies are a little smugged now. I have learned my lesson; everything goes in plastic bags! I also learned that I should carry my backpack in front instead of on my back. This way is safer, it also makes sure that my stuff is dry! I got lucky, I had my camera in my pocket to take pictures. I left the case in my backpack. When I went through my stuff to evaluate the damage, my camera case was soaked! Luckily nothing very important was ruined!

I have been going to bed at 9 every night! This is very unusual for me, but if I went to bed any later I would be miserable during school! waking up at 6 hasn't been that bad! It is a habit that I would like to keep if I can. I also get a huge meal every morning for breakfast. It is so hard to finish it all, but I appreciate it! It wouldn't be so bad, but the walk to my bus stop is far. I have to make the walk on a VERY full stomach, which isn't very pleasant!

Yesterday my class took a tour of Heredia. We walked for 2 hours I believe. Yesterday I walked more than I have walked in a while. I wish I knew I far a walked with the tour, my mall excursion and bus stop walking combined. One of my legs hurts right now because of it. I hope it passes soon because I have a lot of walking ahead of me!

Very shortly I will be going to the mall to see a movie. "La Bragada A - los Magnificos," which is the movie "The A-Team". We are going to watch it in Spanish, even though we can see it in English.

This weekend I am trying to go to the beach with friends, and maybe to see a volcano! We'll see what happens!
