Again I´m sorry about the wait. Obviously I´m not a very talented blogger; it´s been what? 2 months as of tomorrow since my last post? Oh well. Here I go.
June wasn´t too full of events; we had our second exams of the first trimester and had school. The exchange students that came last year left earlier in June and left the 4 of us (from New Zealand, Switzerland, Thailand and then me from the US) to prowl the school alone. My friends are awesome and my classes are good. I´ve made new friends and learned new things and a few days ago marked the halfway point of my exchange...
It´s gone by so much faster than I thought. I´m halfway through. Halfway. That´s a lot of time! Of course, I know that that means I have a lot of time LEFT, but not as much as I had thought. I have so much to see and so much to do!!!
Anyways, at the beginning of July (starting the 3rd I think) we had our mid-year vacations; a full 2 weeks!!! I went to the thermal pools and to the beach (Uvita Beach with my mom, sister, cousin and one of my sister´s friends) and I got to hang out with everyone. It was nice to relax after exams and nice to be at home without having to worry about school. Of course, by the time school DID start again, I was ready to see all of my classmates again.
School has been normal, it´s a habit now and seems normal to go to everyday. On Thursday we didn´t have classes because our classrooms were occupied for something, so I went with my friends to the Poli Deportivo (sports center) and then out to lunch with the other exchange students. We don´t have school on Monday because August 2nd is the birthday of la Reina de Los Angeles. Tomorrow is my birthday!!! So we´ll see if my family and I do anything special...
Also, the new exchange students arrived towards the middle of July. There were 3 new girls with AFS, but 2 of them go to a different school because they live far away. The girl that does go to Unesco (our school) with us is from France; her name is Lauren. The other two girls are Molly from the USA and Helen from Germany. But there were ALSO 2 other exchange students who came with a different program; they both go to Unesco as well. Those two are from Germany and they´re all really nice.
Just a note, the people here are crazy!!! But in the BEST way. I can act kind of insane sometimes so it´s nice to know that the people here are like that too; they don´t get embarrassed for acting childish sometimes or being wild. For example, yesterday when I was done with classes (some people still had class but skipped) we played a HUGE game of hide and seek (the version where you have to make it back to a check point in order to save yourself)...in the middle of school. We were literally about 20 people sprinting through the school, screaming and running around like crazy people. It was awesome and really fun. My grade and classmates are the best. That´s all for now and hopefully I´ll have more soon : )))
