go blue

just to let everyone know, i represent. there are some ohio state fans staying at this little internet bar down the street from my house. they play euchre. they know i like michigan. they wrote 'go bucks' on the sign outside the bar. i erased the 'c' and only the 'c'. the point is that i want everyone walking by (and no one else will probably get this, but it does give me great satisfaction) to know that bucks are stupid and can't even spell their own nickname. so to say it again, go blue!!!!!

ha ha banks

so, 2 funny bank stories

1. i went to get some cash from a bank in Golfito across the bay. they asked me for my address... well, these things just dont really exist down here. i had to tell them that i lived 100 meters south of the BM (supermarket)in puerto jiminez and 2 houses west. i was using the sun as my guide. lolol

2. a banker stopped me on the street to inform me that i owed the bank 18,000 colones (roughly $36). he said i had to come into the bank and resolve the problem. well, come to find out, his dumb ass had reversed the 7 and the 9 in the computer, but the paper i signed had the lesser amount. he was trying to save his own ass, but i don´t see how i have to pay him back because he made a clerical error. it is not my problem. luckily he spoke english, cause i was not about to bend over and take it. when we asked what would happen if we they had shorted us money, would they stop us on the street to come in and give us the money, he just told us to go home. suckers... you can´t screw with my money!!!!!

anyways, the kids are hilarious here. i have 6. 3 are bilingual, 2 speak no spanish, and 1 speaks no english. it is a challenge, but fun. i am loving this, and learning so much spanish. i am also getting opportunities for other teaching jobs on my days off. as of now i´m only working MWF.

also, communication should be much easier soon cause i will actually have wireless at the school for free, and i can use my laptop.

not being able to fall asleep.

no title for this one.

"It may be prudent for you to do what you’ve been taught and what is safe, but if you choose not to step outside of the box and experience the desires of your heart, your life will not be as fulfilled. It may be right to fall back on the things and ways you know are right because you were taught as a child, but you must be ready and willing to do these things or you will not be happy."
