I guess I've been a tad remiss in posting lately. That's because during the week I do absolutely nothing. The amount of nothingness that I do is absolutely staggering. Let me recount my week to you.

Monday: 6:30-8:30 Wake up, get ready, eat breakfast, walk to school
8:30-12:30 Class
12:30-1:30 Lunch
1:30-3:30 Home/Unnecessary Nap Time (I get at least 8 1/2 hours of sleep a night)
4-6 Class
6-10 TV, Dinner, Homework
10 Bed
Tuesday 6:30-12:30 Same as Monday
1-3 Class
3-4 Wander aimlessly around the school, drink coffee
4-6 Class
6-10 Same as Monday
Wednesday 6:30-12:30 Same as Tuesday
12:30-1:30 Lunch
1:30-10 A very long unnecessary nap, TV, 1 1/2 hours of Spider Solitaire, occassionally
shopping if I need something
Thursday 6:30-12:30 Same as Wendesday
1-3 Class
3-10 Yep, that's right, more unnecessary napping, TV watching, and solitaire playing
Friday 6:30-12:30 Same as Thursday
1:00 I get the f outta this shithole city (usually, sometimes God is cruel and I have to
wait until Saturday morning)

So there you have it, a typical week in the life of Jaime. Sometimes the solitaire playing is interrupted by going to a movie or watching Costa Rica get beat by Mexico. Yes, I have friends, but they have very different schedules than me and live 15 minutes away. That's not good in a city that doesn't allow you to go anywhere alone after dark, and it gets dark at 6. Oh well, at least I'll be prepared to make my living as a master solitaire player. It's not so bad though, I guses. I've read a lot of books and watched a lot of CSI and I'm "stockpiling sleep" as my dear younger brother would say. I'll be ready to go for like 6 months without sleep if it works the way he seems to think it does.
This weekend I'm going Manuel Antonio. I was going to wait to visit there until my mom and Cherie came down but everyone and their grandma is headed thataway so I guess it's my most fun option. We elected not to go on the pre-organized tour because it was a trifle expensive. Right now we have a bus ticket and that's about it. If we can't find a hotel we're camping on the beach with all the beach snakes and crabs. The crabs are everywhere, there was one crawling under me when I was sunbathing last week. Scared the hell out me, it did. They're little and cute though. I can deal with that.
Snakes, however, are not little and cute. I have yet to see one but I think that that streak is going to end soon. Our Ecology teacher went over a list of things that we need to concern ourselves with on our next field trip. The list is as follows.

1. Bug repellent
2. Rubber boots (I don't think those will be making the return trip)
3. Hydration
4. Pants
5. SNAKES

So apparently there are a ton of snakes where were going. Our teacher reassured us that "there will be people there to help you". So when I get bit by a giant poisonous snake there will be people there to help me. Great, thanks Teach. Now I don't have to worry. I can't really think of anything less cool than snakes right now. I'm pretty sure I'd rather deal with crocodiles and malaria carrying mosquitos. Although I think those are included in the journey as well. Hmmm... I'm sure it'll be fun though.

Anyway, it's time for lunch and then I get to hop on the bus to the sunny sunshineness. Leave me some love.
