Today was my very last day at ICADS (were we’ve been taking our Spanish classes for the last 5 weeks) We had our last class and quiz and then stopped early for a mini graduation ceremony. We even got little certificates and the professors had bought cake, chips and other snacky foods to celebrate. Afterwards, two friends and I went to the Mall to waste time and shop before our 3 o’clock soccer game. Today was also our last soccer game since we’ll all be moving out to different parts of the country for our internships. There was a major downpour, but it’s futbol (therefore, you play, rain or shine!) I took two buses home soaked and exhausted. When I got home Mami and Papi were headed out the door to run errands, David was at my aunts house and Pamela was at dance. That means I was going to have some time home alone! This never happens. I enjoyed the alone time, walked around barefoot (something Costa Ricans don’t do!) and sang my little lungs out. Boy did it feel good to be home alone. My home alone time was short as my parents were back in less than an hour. My sister and cousin came home from dance class around 8 and our girl’s night began. Mami made us cheeseburgers and French fries for our special night and I taught the girls how to play Shaft (a card game my real sister, who I miss dearly, and I play all the time). After a late dinner and some card playing, we headed to bed around 10.
