I didn't bother to write yesterday, because the only interesting thing that happened was that I registered for classes in the morning. I'll be taking: Advanced Spanish, Costa Rican Spanish, The History of Women in Costa Rica and Latin America, Culture and Development in Latin America, and The Costa Rican Cultural Identity. Baller. I also got to hear the story of Dona Dimia's ex (Naty and Sofia's dad), and see him from the upstairs window, where Dona D. and I sneakily spied on him (she won't let him in the house). Dona D. is rather scandalous, as it turns out. We're going to get along fabulously, I can already tell ;-)
Today hasn't been especially eventful, either. This morning, we were shown around UNA and Heredia by a student guide. She was a lot of fun, and I think I can find my way around campus now. The Heredia tour was kind of useless, though; I got hopelessly turned around. Going to the market was cool, though – we got to try all different kinds of fruit and the program paid for it. We surprised Mariana (the guide) when we already knew how to eat mamones chinos, haha. She also showed us where the nearest gym is. The school has one, but you have to pay an extra fee to use it, so she told us we might as well go to one of the nicer gyms off campus. I'm thinking about maybe signing up for the few months I'm here – it's only 14.000 colones a month (roughly $28) for a plan which gives full access to the machines and the indoor track, and that also includes aerobics and spinning classes and a personal trainer at no extra charge. We'll see, though. Anybody who knows me knows that the gym and I are not friends.
I got home about two hours ago, and I've just been relaxing since then. My eyeball started to hurt on the tour today (of all the random body parts) and I had been rubbing it, so I didn't really want to go do anything with it looking all gross. Some people think I might have pink eye, but I'm pretty sure it's just allergies; the same thing happened back in Ohio over the summer, now that I think about it. Anyway, I think it's about time for a nap.
Pura Vida,
Sarah

The gym and I are not friends either...and I think my previously great metabolism may be slowing down. Eep. I hope you did not learn that impossible long word for wedgie by experience lol.
