Guanacaste

Week of May 26

This week I finally made it to the seventh and final providence of Costa Rica, Guanacaste! My goal was to make it to all seven and I barely made it.

This week I turned in two papers and made two presentations! If you told me before I came here that I would have to give a 30 minute presentation in front of the class I would have probably cried.  But now, I could do it without even thinking twice.  That's actually what I did in my Spanish class.  I wrote a 15 page paper, threw together a PowerPoint the night before, and without any preparation, gave a 30 minute presentation in class. I cannot believe how far I've come!

After this crazy week, five of my friends and I went to the beach.  We went to Playa Hermosa in Guanacaste.  The bus ride was super long, about 6 or 7 hours, but we survived!


On Saturday, Emily, Ximena, and I ran the Delta Pacific 5K. There were so many runners because the prize for winning was a plane ticket to the United States. Unfortunately none of us won, but we did have a lot of fun. A kilometer of it was on the beach! It was very difficult but sooo pretty!


It was so nice to have a relaxing weekend and escape all of the schoolwork. Although it was really sad to leave the Costa Rican beach for the last time :(


Now back to reality......I still have 2 exams, a paper, and a presentation.
