I´m Back

Well, I don´t have that much time to write all about my trip right now, but I thought I´d at least post something so that you all know I made it back to San Jose safely and am back to my regular routine. Today I was sick, and had to miss conversation class because I had such a bad headache ... my mom says it´s probably from the trip and all the chaos and the change in food and altitude and all. So I´m just going to go to bed early and take care of myself. The trip was amazing and a great time for us students to get to know each other better. I took lots of pictures, and as soon as I can, I will write all about the trip with pictures included. Right now I have to work on my essay about Limon and do some interviews for my other big essay as well. I just handed in an assignment today that I wrote completely in Spanish. But things are getting easier here and I really understand a lot more now and am more confident in speaking with people and with my family - praise God! My family here is doing well, and my mom says that my aunt is doing a lot better today - yesterday she was in a lot of pain from the surgery. They don´t know if they got all the cancer yet, but it´s a blessing that she´s feeling better already. This weekend, some of the students may be planning a trip to the rainforest so that will be interesting!!! So for now, adios! FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS MAMI!!! (happy birthday mom - my mom in Canada)
