Ay Que Rico El Sueño

Today I will not be able to speak spanish. Why? Because I am so freaking tired. This weekend I thought I would be able to get away a little bit. I worked really hard all this past week on spanish, and needed just a little break. Well, now my sleep pattern is all messed up. I am tired, and wanting to sleep right now. I think after this entry I will.

I have a test tomorrow. El lunes. I am just so tired.

Mary's abueito came down to visit for this weekend. He's 81 years old... and he gets around so well. We took him to the mall with us. I couldn't believe how well he kept up with us. We went to a bookstore and I wanted to buy some spanish books so I could practice, Mary got one too and he baught them for us. It was really nice of him.

We went to un parque de diversiones yetserday. That was pretty fun. The lines for the juegos weren't too long and some of them we were able to just get on as soon as we got off. The first half of the day it was beautiful and sunny, then after we ate lunch it started raining and we got sooo wet and cold. It was nearly miserable.

Friday night we went to this restaurant called, "Lebnan." It's a lebanese place and the service there was exceptional. The food should've been much more expensive than what it was... the food was absolutely amazing. I haven't eaten something that good in such a long time. I love Costa Rican food but this was just so rich and delicious. Ohmi. We are definately going back again. And one of our server's name was Lloyd. HAHA! He's from Costa Rica and all that, but he doesn't even look like he's tican. He spoke really good spanish too.

Well, I'm gonna go take a nap.

Mejorando

SO, things are getting a lot better. I feel great, my spanish is improving a lot. I feel that everything is going to be fine. I've been here in Costa for over a month now. It is just so wierd to me to think that, and to think that there is life beyond Costa Rica and that there is really school and classes going on in the US... it's just so wierd.

There's some crazy stuff going on at home. There was a shooting at a Cleveland school. That really freaked me out. Last night I came home and my mama asked me if I lived in Ohio and I told her yea and then she told me there was a shooting in a Cleveland school. It got me worried because my sister works in Cleveland. Oh dear.

I'm really excited. A week ago the mothers of the students had a meeting and Grettel had a meeting with us afterwards telling us that we need to spend more time with our mothers. This week I haven't gone out at all really, and I am amazed at the improvement I have made in just one week. SO stoked.

Sick

I'm feeling sick in a few different ways... let me list them!

Reasons Trevor is sick:

- Misses the United States
- Misses his dog even more
- Doesn't miss the United States
- Misses his dog a lot
- Is entirely too deeply into High School Musical 1 and 2
- Wants to study abroad another semester
- Hasn't knitted anything in five months

Obviously I'm not really sick, but these are the things that have been making me feel wierd since being here. Some of them are funny other's are real. Like, I don't understand my emotions toward home... there's "I wanna go home," and then at the same time I'm enjoying this experiance so much I couldn't dare even think about going home. And I have been thinking about studying abroad another semester. Rotary Club is the key...

That's another blog entry... until then!
