13 Setiembre 2015 ¡Hola! Tonight I went to my first Costa Rican fútbol game! I live walking distance from a fútbol stadium called Estadio Ricardo Saprissa Aymá (but everyone just calls it Saprissa Stadium (or Estadio Saprissa en español)). The stadium is the home of Deportivo Saprissa, otherwise known as El Monstruo Morado (The Purple … Continue reading GOOOOAAALLLLLLL!!!!

7 Things I’ve Learned So Far
2 September 2015 ¡Buenas! I am actually kind of annoyed right now. I was so exhausted all day, so after school and dinner, I just kind of bummed around coloring and texting. I was in bed by 8 with the lights out at 10. And of course, as is the story of my life, as … Continue reading 7 Things I’ve Learned So Far
Volcanoes and things
29 August 2015 ¡Buenas! It's been a while since I last wrote. I had a feeling that would happen. Once the grocery store stopped being an adventure, it started feeling silly writing about my day-to-day life. "Now I'm at work. Now I'm buying groceries. Now I'm hanging out at my apartment again." Not that it … Continue reading Volcanoes and things
Rain Forest, City, Food, and Dance
11 August 2015 ¡Hola! ¿Como están? ¡Espero que están fabulosos! If my Spanish was no bueno, have no fear. I start Spanish class tomorrow! I am excited to get lessons to help support the learning I get from being immersed in the language and culture. I am learning a few new words each day (this … Continue reading Rain Forest, City, Food, and Dance
A boring post
Happy Saturday! I don't think I have too much to report, but I'm having a bit of a lazy day, so I figured I may as well write a short blog. I'm currently watching So You Think You Can Dance, and for some reason, the commercials don't stream well, so I have to wait like 10 … Continue reading A boring post
The Glory of Wifi (and some other stuff)
Hello! Guess what?? I am writing this from my apartment, and I'll be able to post it right away because I HAVE WIFI!!!! WOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I do realize that the world existed for millennia before the creation of wifi. I also realize that I myself lived well into my 20s before wifi was a thing. … Continue reading The Glory of Wifi (and some other stuff)
Nerding Out a Bit
29 July 2015 Well, I think I might be posting this at the same time as the previous one, but I already have a lot to write! Actually, this one will most likely be shorter than my other posts, but I had a great day and wanted to do some reflection while it’s fresh in … Continue reading Nerding Out a Bit
A Day at the Beach and A Day at Work!
27 July 2014 I can’t believe it’s only been two days since my last post! And for you, it’s only been one day, since I had a delay in posting the last one. Sunday and Monday were pretty full days, so I may as well get right to it. I had trouble sleeping Saturday night … Continue reading A Day at the Beach and A Day at Work!
Shopping, SIM cards, Waterfalls, and More
25 July 2015 Greetings! Yet again, I am writing this post on the couch in my new apartment here in Moravia. I definitely think this will be my favorite spot to sit and play online and get work done. The couch isn’t very comfy to sit on the normal way, but when you turn sideways … Continue reading Shopping, SIM cards, Waterfalls, and More
First full day in Costa Rica!
21 July 2014; Day 1 – Settling In I am typing this from my new home, which is located in Moravia, Costa Rica. I’d tell you the address, but I can’t because they don’t have street addresses here! Basically they just use landmarks and describe locations in relation to other locations. It's a bit of a … Continue reading First full day in Costa Rica!
