Next stop.... Costa Rica!!

It has been a looooong time since I have written in here and that's because nothing very exciting has happened since Calfornia... well we went to Orlando, Florida for my birthday/graduation but I guess I never got pics posted up on that. Just imagine me standing next to Mickey Mouse and you'll get the picture. (HA, get it, picture!)

Anyways, my next adventure's destination is COSTA RICA! This operation has been planned for months... since sometime last August I want to say. I will be studying abroad in Heredia, Costa Rica for most of the month of June and a teeny bit of July. (I'll be back in the states for the 4th, of course). My Spanish class from Grayson College will be studying at Intercultura School in Heredia and I am super psyched!! By the way, I am a Spanish major. My mom's also going for a week.

So I will keep it updated throughout my stay in Heredia, and though I won't have my lappytop there are supposedly internet cafes everywhere you look. And lizards. And I despise lizards. (No me gustan lagartos!) And yes, I will probably pepper my sentences with Spanish phrases as that is the whole point of studying in CR!

Florida

So after a short break filled with work and being sick, I'm now on my actual vacation in Florida!! Sanibel Island. And then Disney world. But right now enjoying Sanibel even though it's raining...

On the way home

Well we are sitting in the sacramento airport at gate A2 awaiting our trip home. It's a complicated trip home...three stops only two planes and other sorts of mess...oh well I'm glad that we get to take off three times :))) that's my favorite part. We're about to start boarding so I'm gonna get off so I don't get killed by the air marshalls.

Our Last Full Day

So this morning when I woke up I couldn't remember where I was.. We woke up early (for once) and went to the award assembly. Texas was raking in the creative art prizes!! It was pretty disheartening to hear them call "Bethany.....Not West!" There was some other chick named Bethany from like gaybo Wisconsin or somewhere. It was awesome when they called Adam's name. Richard haha. I was pretty mad when we didn't win costume, because the couple who placed before us costume sucked. The girl had a paper collar, where mine was made out of gold fabric and had cute little jewels on it. Booooo. And we probably got points taken off because we didn't give enough historical evidence, when it said in the rule book that we weren't supposed to be graded based on what we said. And I didn't place in DI, though the girl who did put so many hand gestures in her performance that she looked like a windmill. Oh well, I have my dignity and she does not. Plus I'm just glad I placed in state because that got me here. :) Adam says "hi".

HOORAY!!!!

Adam won 3rd place in the cartoon category!!!!!!!!!!! Here's proof:

It was so exciting!! He had to go to the bathroom and missed his name being called, lol. I had to go pick it up for him. But anyways he beat like two whole tablefuls of cartoon entries!!

Cali Soft-Serve is better

Fun!

Soo cute ;)

Before our Spirit time. Texas FIGHT Texas FIGHT! (That's one of our chants).
