For the past few days I've been chillin' at Costa Rica Backpackers in San Jose. Interesting experience. Somehow I'm the only American in my dorm so I've been talking with people from Holland, Montreal and Australia quite a bit. It's pretty sweet. I also talked to this Costa Rican lady that doesn't know any English. I thought I'd be nice and ask her if something was wrong (she looked sick) in Spanish and for some reason this gave her the impression that I knew the language. I think I've sort of adopted her now. Nevermind that she's like 50. This forces me to have actual conversations in Spanish. Ew.
I'm impatiently waiting for 8:00 tonight so I can go to the airport to get my mom and Cherie. FINALLY! It's been like 6 years since I've seen anyone familiar, I think. I'll be home one week from today though. That's pretty weird in itself. And pretty much a relief since somehow, once again, I have absolutely no money. I don't know how this keeps happening. Of course it might have something to do with the whole traveling around Central America thing but I'm not sure. I NEED A JOB!!
Okay, I'm really not into this whole typing thing and, knowing the computers here, this beast is going to shut down in about 30 seconds. I guess I'll go to a museum or something. Culture. Hmm.

I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finally finished college. CAN YOU FEEL IT? I'm pretty excited about this, if you can't tell. No more classes, no more books, no more teachers dirty looks.

Yesterday I gave my thirty minute presentation in class (Yeah, that's like half a freakin' hour) and that was all she wrote. I somehow ended up with a 95% in the class. I'm not sure how. Maybe the teacher didn't notice that I don't know how to speak Spanish or something. Then I got my grade in Marine Biology. 99% . I'm kind of disappointed in myself, I should have had a 100. I'm sure that my Ecology grade sucked though, that teacher actually seemed to understand English so he knew that everything I wrote for that class was done no more than half an hour before it was due. Oh well, like I said (or did I mention it?) I'M DONE!!

Graduation is Saturday, May 7. Miss Carrie Miller and I will be having a graduation party that night at her house (in Marenisco). Everyone is invited!!!

I suppose I have to get a job now, huh?
