I love EARTH university. It feels like a mix between a high school and a college. However, I think that is a construct of its size (only 400ish) and the cultural differences. I think if I was more skilled in the language and everything was not so new to me, I would be bored or feel restrained.
Everyone is so nice here. However I had a 4 hour lab at 6am on 5 hours of sleep that did not feel so nice. Plus, I was handling copious amounts of pig semen and trying to understand insemenation and ovular cycles of livestock in Spanish.
I went to a nearby town( Guapiles) to my friend Angelo's house. It was fun. we talked, eat new foods, and visited some friends of Angelo's that were nice and had a really beautifully carved wood door with a peacock on it.
Angelo is 20 something and has glasses. Ferdenando is 28 and has a striped shirt on. they are both Ticos. Toni is from Honduras and is 21. They are second years that hang out together. Angelo is my vecino(neighbor) and has been helping me since my class today was with him. The girl is Angelo's friend form Guapiles.
If not for other committiments and wanting to see my family and friends I coudl already see myself wanting to spend a long time here, or at least extend my smester to a full year. I really hope this ends up being the case.
I feel like I am in Harry Potter a little bit because everyone is groups by years here. Well, this place does feel magical.
