17 days. 8 classes. Two finals. Two projects. Two flights. Home.
That's a brief summary of my immediate future anyway. Unfortunately, it does not look to include any volcanoes or convenient internet service. My household internet seems to have inexplicably disappeared and due to the joys of dealing with large corporations everywhere, I can't find a real person to talk to for the life of me. Ergo, looks like I may be hard to get a hold of for the remainder of my trip. Since that's only about two and a half weeks, shouldn't be too big a deal.
Anyway, not much to send out into the interweb today. The end of semester in Costa Rica plays out very similarly to the end of semester at home: study, cram, pretend to study, pretend to cram, cobble together beautiful powerpoint presentations which hopefully cover your lack of actual preparation...no really, sometimes I'm a good student. Actually, I'm a good student in the classes that interest me and seem worth my while. Unfortunately, most of my projects are in the class that I really couldn't care less about. I'm just hoping to scrape a disinterested passing grade in that class and then run with it.
Today is the big Costa Rica vs US futbol game in San Jose and sadly, in spite of being here, I didn't manage to get my hands on a ticket in time, so I'll probably be stuck watching it on tv. Still haven't decided who to root for; I figure if I just wear red, white and blue and cheer for everything, I'll be safe.
Anyway, I've avoided my homework quite long enough. Hope you are all doing well and I'll be in touch with everyone as soon as I can be.
Pura vida.
