One month left to go, and a lot has happened since my last post! Turns out I have allergies down here in lovely Costa Rica that cause my eyes to enflame randomly. Not exciting at all. In other news, I switched houses to another host family, and I find myself a lot happier and less homesick. The girls I live with, as well as my family, are absoutely fantastic! In addition, all of us American girls (there are four, three of us live together) only speak Spanish around the house, which helps us immensely.
Just got home from tropical marine biology, which is definitely a very informative class. It may be the class with the biggest workload, but it is definitely worth it. Today we watched Sharkwater- watch it if you haven't seen it yet. Also, visit savingsharks.com There are so many problems that we are so unaware of!
The last few days have been sweltering hot out, but I heard of SNOW in TEXAS!!! How crazy. Hope all of you back home are staying warm and also ENJOYING the snow!! Imagine living without it, I couldn't do it.
Also borrowing a cookbook from my host mom, with over 300 recipes. This means I can cook traditional Costa Rican food for you all when I come home! Hopefully I'm good at it, lol.
I have three more field trips to look forward to out of my four full weekends left here, which is good because it saves planning on money on my part, and I still get to experience so much of the country!
Unfortunately, that makes it time to get back to homework- I have to write about snorkeling, and present on cetaceans communication skills and garbage swirls. At least my homework is interesting!! Stay well and safe back home, tell everyone I know that I say hi :)
