All of today was spent working on our oral presentations, and correcting our papers we turned in yesterday. After putting in about 2-3 hours of correcting my paper, I accidentally deleted it..and had to start all over again. Then when I went up to give my part of the oral presentation, I got to about 2-3 min. into my presentation when it started raining harder than it has ever rained all month. Granted, we were inside, but the classroom we were in was open to the outside, and the roof was tin, so no one could hear anything I was saying. I had to literally scream for the entire 10 min!! I have realized, though, that I cannot let these small obstacles get me stressed out or upset, I am slowly learning to take things as they come, pura vida! Tonight a lot of us are going out into Atenas to do some authentic dancing with the locals..it should be fun! Tomorrow is our last exam, actually its more like a quiz, but after that the class is over! I have to say im very excited for it!! I love you all and miss you so muchh!

[(My Journey South)] After monotonously attending over thirteen years of school where everything is learned through the pages of a text book, I have decided to step beyond that level of education, and challenge myself to a unique way of learning by studying abroad in Costa Rica. This is my journey south.
