Blog listed on the web!! Almost

I contacted DIWYY to try and get my blog listed on their website, and a lady already emailed me back and said she would watch it for a couple of weeks and see if it would be good for their website!! Also, to make sure I am not a crazy. Anyways, I am very excited to get my blog listed out on travel websites so other students like me can learn about the dos and donts of studying abroad. For one thing, appreciate your computer and cell phone!! They are not as easily accesible in a foreign country. Yes, Costa Rica is updated in all things tech, but maybe not for people who are here temporarily. For example, my Spanish teacher who brought my group here advised us not to bring our laptops. Which is probably a good idea, seeing as theft is a major problem in the cities. But man do I wish I had mine!! My Tico family has a very small personal computer but no internet, and this is day 5 without any cellphone service. Hopefully I can figure that out in the near future, seeing as my mom paid for me to have it. Also, all that I want right now is a way to upload my pics onto the internet!! I have not seen a public computer that takes memory cards, and I dont know if my camera will use a usb cord. Plus I dont have one anyways.

This evening my mom and I are going to San Jose with my family to do some shopping. Supposedly there is a really great art fare that has lots of cheap jewelry. And I am all for cheap stuff.

Yesterday night, some friends and I went to go see Sex and the City 2 at the mall in Heredia. It looked just like anything else we have in Texas.. It was cool to see the movie with Spanish at the bottom... Whats that called again? Its not dubbed...
And it was super funny albeit dumb. Im not really into Sex and the City.

Well anyways, my hours almost up at the internet cafe and I have to trek back to my house which is like a million blocks away. Everything is measured in blocks, or esquinas. I live muchas esquinas away from the school...

I have to make a presentation about a Costa Rican legend tomorrow. And take my first little weekly test that will allow me to move up a level or make me stay in the same class. I love my teacher so I almost dont want to move up!!!
