Don't cry for me blogspot.com, the truth is I never left you.
I didn't abandon my writing entirely, but life definitely caught up with me. Where do I begin?
This weekend was spent in Cahuita, Limon, a tiny calypso/reggae induced town on the Caribbean ocean. It stood under the guise of class field-trip, with sampling the music and the food listed as the agenda. We did both, and got in plenty of beach time as well. Me and my now good friend Arielle built a bonfire Friday night and the twelve of us plus our professor Manuel Monestel spent the night singing under the stars. As it turns out, if you mention "calypso" in Costa Rica, everyone knows you're talking about Manuel.
I can no longer spell in English. As I struggle with writing in Spanish I can now claim that I'm simply bi-lingually challenged, rather than proficient in just one. With only a month left (what??? you've got to be kidding me) most of my time is spent at school doing some research for the forthcoming papers that are do at the end of the program. Life is...tranquil.
I finally was able to get fingerprinted for Peace Corps last week, so now I officially get to wait. As a backup my friend Paige and I are starting our Costa Rican job search for next year (potential National Park Guide? yesss). I'm also getting frequent emails from Columbia about obtaining a Master's in "Climate and Society". Studying cultural and political implications of our changing climate is so very very tempting; but no school for me next year, I need a break. I'm slotting that process for 2011.
Please, if there is anyone out there reading this that has specific questions, please please email me, I'd love to talk to you.
