Fun facts on Friday! And some of my random thoughts...

~ The second day I was in Costa Rica, the main light in my room stopped working. I only told my host mom today that it stopped. The line to open the shades in my room was also broken, she told me it breaks all the time and to not be scared to tell her if it breaks... haha


~ The first two months I was in Costa Rica I was sick almost every day. Michael told me it had to be the water and I believed it most likely was but I didn't want to buy water everyday so I never proved if he was right or wrong. He bought me a special water bottle that filters water and now I use it all the time and have not had problems yet!


~ My uncle is coming to Costa Rica tomorrow on a mission trip with my church and I am meeting them at the airport and then traveling with them!


~ My host mom cleaned my room and stacked everything neatly together, remade my bed, and cleaned the floors of my room


~ My gym is closed the next few days... the gym was in the basement but since the expansion, they are moving everything to the newly completed upper level... hopefully there will be more than two treadmills now


~ I am counting down the weeks until I return! Sad I know but I really miss everyone... plus I just want the semester of school, papers, studying, and tests to end, I'm ready for summer!


~ they sell french fries at the taco bell here... no nachos!


~ My new favorite thing to eat is platano (plantain) chips (lemon and salt flavored) They are really good and not too terrible nutritionally 


~ I ran a 6k yesterday... even though I took some breaks in between I still think it counts! I ran 6.5k and .45 was walking... so technically I did run all of it... and the breaks were short


~ Today marks 4 months with my Michael... I really wish I was in North Carolina


~ Today my host mom made french toast for breakfast... she learned the recipe from another student... I feel like I have the best host family in all the students here!
