Wow has school become not school. I love my class. Today we took our 4th field trip out of the last 6 classes. Today we went to an orchid garden that was like an hour and half away. There was absolutely no point to the whole endeavor and I didn't learn a word of Spanish but hey, I wasn't in class. Yesterday we went on an unsupervised field trip to the Jade Museum. Unsupervised=We stayed for 10 minutes, wrote down some info, and left. Afterwards Vanessa and I walked around downtown for a little while and she showed me this awesome artisan's market. Yeah, she shouldn't have done that. I went hog wild with souvenirs for people. I needed to get them anyway but getting them all at once kind of made it seem REALLY expensive. I also bought a sweet bowl set for myself for my future Milwaukee house/apartment. Oh yeah, mom, Cherie, don't pack too much, I need you to bring some stuff home. =) Or I can just buy another bag and send that home. Anyway, I bought a lot of stuff. It's okay 'cause it wasn't for me, right?
Tomorrow after class I leave for Puerto Viejo. I'm going to be there until Tuesday when I regresar to San Jose, stay in a hostel for a night, and then head to Granada, Nicaragua on Wednesday. We'll be there 'til Sunday. I'm pretty pumped. I have to get out of the country for 72 hours and Granada is supposed to kick ass. It's a city right on Lake Nicaragua, which is a freshwater lake big enough to have bull sharks in it. Then it's back for one more week of classes and I'm done. YAY!!!!! I'll no longer be an undergrad!!! If they get my transcripts sent to Northern in time, that is. I don't think I'd like to wait for my degree until August. Not that I'll need it to waitress, which is what I'll be doing for the summer, I'm sure. Unless someone can get me a good day job, of course. HINT TO EVERYONE OUT THERE. Well, this is a pretty boring post so I'm going to go find something else to do. That something invariably turns out to be nothing.
