hola gringos.

Today is LLC's last Sunday in Costa Rica. I expect the lasts will just start rolling in at this point: tomorrow it will be our last laundry day, then our last pan, then our last black fly bite, and so on and so forth. We are six girls. It's just what we do.

For breakfast we had mounds of toast with delicious jelly and  gallo pinto with natilla and plantains and queso and frutas and coffee. Delicious, even without huevos.

We had our final library work day today. Three hours of dewey decimaling and all-around life-loving later, we still hadn't quite finished everything we'd set out to do but whatever it's close enough. The children of San Luis will just have to deal. Haha kidding. I brought my iPod and speakers to the library today, so there was some love made in club biblioteca. Lil Wayne and the Spice Girls swung by too.

As per the LLC reward system, Sarah had cookies for us when we had completed our task. I can't remember how I was ever motivated before. I only function for treats now.

We headed back to campus for lunch. Ensalada, rice, beans, veggies--what a treat! Seriously we never have anything exciting for lunch. I need some zest in my afternoons.

After lunch I dabbled in Spanish homework I'm not really sure what else. Somehow I managed to piss away around 3 hours of my life with no recollection of what was done. I was, however, extremely successful in my procrastination efforts.

Today was the last day to take the Ecology midterm, which sucks because it rained today. And Scott was not about to let people play the rain card. No, no. Tia told me that she sat on a trash bag in the middle of the forest with her umbrella between her knees and her clipboard balanced just so on her thighs while she wrote her essay. The things we do for Ecology..

Annie-poo is sick. Way sick. She couldn't eat or drink anything at all today, poor thing. Scott and Tia escorted her to the clinic just before dinner to go get some shots. Apparently the clinic does not accept payments on weekends.. question mark? The teacher from the new group on campus has the bug too. As does one of his girls. They better keep their distance because I will hurt someone if I get it.

There is another new group of people on campus. It's a family vacay apparently. They're really cute. Definite upgrade from the prissies from last week. They are only staying here for two nights, though.

Michael from Ecology came back today! He brought his parents with him. They are decidedly very Mennonite. He's only staying for a couple of days, though, so he will miss out on our last night of Bar Amigo madness. Sad for him.

For dinner we had ensalada and rice and beans and veggies and this fat bowl of spicy sausage floating in its own grease. Mm.. Katie told us about how she discovered that she is a witch when playing Parcheesi last night, so we encouraged her to use her witching abilities to conjure up some hot chocolate. Unfortunately for us she has not yet harnessed her skills. In time, dear Katie. I have faith in you.

The lack of hot chocolate was tolerable only because postre was cheesecake. Cheesecake with non-crumbly crust that composed about 50% of the cheesecake's structure. Que rico.

My final Spanish composition is due tomorrow. So I should probably do that or something.

peace love and club biblioteca
