It really only rains a few hours a day…

Filed under: Costa Rica

I´m in a weird mood. (Oh, and I apologise for the accents instead of apostrophes, I´m at an internet cafe.)

I maybe got glutened this morning? There were corn tortillas, and I think tortilla factories here are more likely to have cross contamination problems. I had a weird headache thing earlier that is usually a sign of gluten, but I don´t know.

The family I´m staying with is really nice, but I think the whole homestay thing is kind of stressing me out. Like, I´m worried I should be hanging out with them more or something instead of reading and doing homework in my room. But I also don´t want to be in the way. And I´m doing reasonably well at understanding people when they´re talking to me, but when they´re talking to each other it´s too fast for me to understand, which is kind of awkward, sitting there with no idea what´s going on.

Also, people keep asking me what I´m going to do that day or this weekend, so I feel like there´s kind of all this pressure to like have adventures and cultural experiences and stuff, and I don´t really feel like it. I probably will eventually, but at the moment I´m pretty satisfied with doing lots of Spanish homework and messing around on my computer at the school and at the house.

…Okay, you guys are stuck with half a blog entry, because I´m like tearing up in the internet cafe and I´m not into that. Damn it.

Though it should be noted that up till last night I felt fine, so who knows.

  2. As you know Maddy, the difficulties of the days will ebb and flow. Let them wash through you. I know you as a strong and very capable young woman. Try to keep a level head and you’ll do great.
