So this is my last week in Turriabla before i switch programs! So far it has been going well.
Monday, i had school in the morning and then we went to this place called "the buffet" for lunch. AFter we were supposed to go back to the waterfall that we went to a couple weeks ago, but it was rainy and cold, so we all complained until they figured out something else to do with us (the poor guides) So instead, we went to pops for some ice cream and then went then went back to the guide house to watch a movie. We watched a movie called Role Models with Paul Rudd and i forget the other guys name. It was really funny and i hadnt seen it before, so i had fun. That night we went home and i helped Sally pack because was leaving the next day. We had a big dinner and then spent some time with our brother and his friends.
Tuesday all the people who were leaving had classes in the morning and everyone else went rock climbing. There was a wall at this university in Turriabla called Catie so we went in 2 shifts. If you werent climbing then you sat at the pool. It was a lot of fun and i got to hang out a bit with my new group once everyone left. We had to wear climbing shoes, but since apparently everyone in costa rica has tiny feet, it was fairly uncomfortable to squeeze into them. We decided that we now understood what chinese foot-binding felt like. I had to hobble around for awhile after until my feet felt better, but it was a lot of fun. After we sat by the pool for like an hour and then met the other kids who were leaving for lunch at La Feria. Lunch was good and we took a lot of pictures and then it was time to say goodbye. Sally was leaving and a couple other girls who is had got really close to so of course i cried, it was really sad. Then we all loaded our separate buses and went to school. That night, since a lot of people had lost roomates and no one wanted to be alone in their house with out one, we all went to the guide house and watched Knocked Up. It was fun and it looked up the whole night.
On wednesday I had school in the morning and the new batch of kids came. We went for lunch and then went to the soccer field to play name games and soccer. I met my new roomate and this other kid who it turns out lives in Hastings and is going to be a freshman next year. ( ive heard hes a bit odd, im going to try to talk to him) Soccer was fun and then the new kids went to the guide house and we went to take salsa lessons (again) this time was more fun because more people participated. After we went to pops and then i went home to meet my new roomate. Her name is Sarah and i like her a lot. She lives in Napa, which is pretty cool, and we seem to be getting along well.
Today (thursday) i went horseback ridding (again) and again in 2 shifts because the stolen horses are still missing. And they are doing something weird this week. Usually the old kids have classes in the morning and activities in the afternoon and the new kids do the opposite. But for whatever reason they have everyone (new and old kids) with activities in the morning and classes in the afternoon. Its cool because we get to hang with the new kids but bad because there are 26 of us + 4 guides so everyting is really crowded. I still have my same group that i have had but my friend Phoebe might switch in. we will see how it goes. Tomorrow I am going repelling (3rd time, i think that guides at the repelling place will know my name this time, because they were pretty close before time number 2) I will report back on how it goes!
