misspent

I am surprised at how quickly I have settled into life down here. Frutesca, the super (supermarket) down the street is where I buy most of my groceries, and la soda also down the street is where I eat many of my meals for 1,000 colones ($2). Spanish classes are two hours a day followed by two hours of Spanish lab (more speaking than learning). It is amazing how much Spanish we have covered in just three days. My teachers Sergio and Diego are excellent and they force you to learn learn learn. They are also very non-traditional from a western classroom sense, and I really appreciate that.

There are only two people (out of about 20) in the school who are not in the surfing classes, and I’m one of them. I want to, but the school only recommends you take two courses at a time (6 hours of class per day). But today I signed up for surfing as well, because I really want to learn. Let’s see how it goes…

Photography was in the lab today, reviewing pictures, so nothing new to show today on that front. Stay tuned.
