¡Te extraño mucho, Lizzy Ormsby!

I miss you a lot, Lizzy Ormsby!


[A blog post dedicated to my roomie for life/bestie/partner in crime]


Yesterday, I woke up bright and early, as usual (Sleeping isn't really an option when you have 4 lovely birds squawking right outside your room- haha), and went to the gym with Katie. I then came back, ate breakfast, did some homework, and got ready for school. I then went to eat with Jackie, Sydney, and Tien at the cutest little café that I'm obsessed with. It's called Musa Confusa. I got the "especialidad de hoy," or special of the day. It was baked eggplant with tomato sauce, basil, and cheese, accompanied by rice, vegetables, a salad, and mango juice. 

¡Que rico! In Spanish class yesterday, we learned about the future tense. After class, I came home, ate a dinner of a Costa Rican spaghetti, and did homework until midnight. I had to do a take home test for Tropical Medicine. I also had to write a presentation for Spanish about a Costa Rican home remedy. I wrote about aloe vera. You wouldn't believe all the health benefits of aloe vera! It's not only used for sunburns, but it's been proven to decrease balding, hydrate dry skin, aid diabetics, regulate your digestion (when drank), and many other benefits! I had to bring the plant to class; luckily, my Mama Tica has an aloe vera plant in front of the house, so she cut a leaf off for me. Got an A on the presentation!:)
This morning, I went on a run with other ISA students Daniel, Lance, and Jackie. It was my first time to actually run through San Jose! I was enjoying it so much that I didn't even realize that we ran for an hour! It was such a gorgeous day! No rain, for once! My Spanish teacher let us sit outside for a little bit of class. After school, I played some basketball with some of my friends at a nearby park. And now, I'm going to do some homework! ¡Buenas!
