Besides an awkward broken toilet bathroom break at a gas station on my run, my morning was typical. Today in class we had an amazing Brazilian woman come to speak to us about liberation theologies present in Latin America. She was a beautiful and animated woman full of interesting ideas and new perspectives (not to mention awesome hair). After process groups and lunch, I headed home like usual. On my second bus (from downtown to my suburb of Tibas) I fell into the deepest sleep. I can’t believe the bumpy roads and the tendency for Costa Rican bus drivers to slam on the breaks didn’t wake me up. Luckily I woke up literally seconds before my stop. I couldn’t help but wonder if people laughed at me (knowing that I’m an amazing drooling and occasional snoring sleeper) I don’t know why, but I was absolutely exhausted, so I “finished” my nap in my bed before starting on homework. I had the chance to talk to Becca “Hovie” White via Skype and hang out with Pamela and Mami as they continued their art projects from yesterday. I got some more studying in before dinner. At dinner my family was cracking up with my impressions of the odd street vendors I pass every morning. I watched some TV with Pamela and went to bed.
