Only 11 days!!!!!

Recap of last week….
Wednesday was a pretty chill day. It was super hot out side so Laura and I decided to stay around our town and do some souvenir shopping as it was really my last day to do so! Wednesday night for dinner we had visitors. Josh, a former study abroad student who lived with our host family, and his friend Dusty came over for dinner. Both of these boys are from small towns in Alabama and had the cutest accents! During the evening Laura and I totally forget about how proper Southern Girls are and the topic of Diarrhea gets brought up. After seeing the looks on their faces I snapped into reality and remembered that they’re used to Southern Belles who never think about that kind of stuff, much less speak it! Thank goodness they thought it was funny and not disgusting. Girls from Minnesota obviously aren’t as prim and proper and have no problem discussing the digestive system! These boys also had the best manners I think I have ever seen. They literally stood up when our friend Stephanie entered the room. I don’t think I have ever seen such manners in my life.
Thursday- I had an oral presentation on learning a language in the U.S compared to studying abroad and learning the language in a country where they speak the language. After class we went to a Soda that our teacher’s mom own and had lunch. Later we went to the beach for my last day at Manuel Antonio beach. That evening Laura and I took our host family out to dinner at El Avion, a restaurant inside and surrounding a real airplane. Friday- I had to say goodbye to my host brother Carlos in the morning which was hard, I didn’t want to leave him. Then I went to school where I had a test and written composition. After school Laura and I rushed home to get my luggage, I said goodbye to my mamatica which was sad, and headed to the bus station. When I got to San Jose I went to my other host family’s house where my Mamatica was sooooo excited to see me! She kept saying how much blacker I looked, I guess as of now my tan is no longer a tan but I’m changing races? Who knew! She says that my mom won’t recognize me and will ask where the real Ashley is! How funny! That night we went to Santa Ana to hang out with our BFF Agnetta! We spent the whole weekend with her relaxing by the pool, life couldn’t get any better!
Monday was weird. It was odd going to class without Laura! When you’re with someone everyday for close to three months it is really odd to be separated. Everyone at school was happy to see me, and kept asking if Laura and I got into a fight or something. Nobody is used to seeing us separated! It’s kinda funny! I started classes with a new Professora Marisella who happens to be amazing! I have only 11 days left! Craziness! Can’t wait to be home so I can plan my next trip back!
