This week has been pretty relaxing. Classes are getting harder...well not really harder. More like just more homework. I had a 20 minute presentation all in spanish! my topic was education in costa rica and the US and the differences and similarities. It was kinda interesting. Next week is crazy busy with school work again too. I have one exam, one quiz, a ten page paper (in spanish!) due, and i have to read 130 page spanish book... this should be a fun weekend of homework haha.
This weekend we're going to Montezuma! I'm wicked excited! I'm not even exactly sure who is going haha...but I know me, Lauren, Jackie, and Crystal all definitely are and Montezuma is supposed to be really fun with little markets and beautiful waterfalls.
So I fell again this week...that equals 4 falls in the 2 months that I have been here. I think I need a bubble sometimes haha.
fall#1- shopping. woman was cleaning the floor with a hose. I thought i would just walk carefully and slowly over the wet floor...failed. feel on my side. got extremely wet and had a lady nearby see everything and ask if i was okay. injuries: none. just embarrassment and a wet butt.
fall#2- one night i was just talking, hanging out with a group of people and someone goes "look jupiter!" So i look up to see Jupiter but move to fast and end up falling flat on my back. injuries: cut on shoulder and knee. (not really sure how the cut got on my knee since I fell backwards on to my back...)
fall #3- attempting to ride tico style (2 people on one bike where one person sits on the bike's bar in front of the other person) with Lauren. I was the person in the front. Didn't quite work out as we had hoped and me and the bike fell tumbling to the ground. injuries: hugggeee bruise on the side of my leg. bleeding hand. bruises on elbow and back.
fall #4- this week. while running. I dont know how it happened. I was just running at a pretty good pace, listening to my tunes, then all of a sudden I'm going down and theres no way to stop myself. Scrapped by my shoulder, my knee, my hands...
yup, same old Laura. It's alright. I'll come out with a few battle scars...maybe they'll help me remember Costa Rica more when I'm old.
This is hilarious because everyone laughs at me here because I trip over every little thing in the sidewalk. Like if one brick is sticking up a little more than the others, I find it. haha miss you!
