so yesterday after class i decided to make my way to the supermarket.i wasnt quite sure where it was but i had an idea.so i start walking cause i really had nothing else to do and needless to say my trip to the supermarket turned into like a 2 hour adventure of walking.i walked and walked with no idea where i was.then eventually asked some lady how to get home and she told me.so needless to say i arrived back home with no food, a grumbling stomach, and blisters 😞 i told my family when i got home and apparently i was supposed to turn right instead of left and i would have been fine!well ahora yo se (now i know). after this i definitely took a shower after working up this huge sweat and took a nap.last night there was like a dance class where they teach salsa and meringue...i know im not a dancer haha but like everyone in the program was going just cause we are here so we might as well!def not the best but not the worst either and at least i didnt step on anyone!we have it again tomorrow.it was a lot of fun i even learned how to do like 3 spins haha go me.after we went out for my roommate's birthday to la sultan.it was a bar and a huge dance party of like 20 americans and the other half ticos(costa ricans). it was a lot of fun. today i had class from 8-12 i have spanish everyday from 8-12 and it really isn't bad since that is the reason im here.i can already tell my spanish is getting better being around it 24 hours a day every day.after class we went to the supermarket (i tried to find yesterday) so now i know where it is!we went to pick up some groceries anything from the us here like jif peanut butter or like the kellogs cereals or anything in the states is so expensive here i wanted a box of nature valley granola bars until i saw that they costed like $7 for one box.we stopped for lunch on the way at this home cooked costa rican food place it was really good and i got a huge plate for like 1800 colones or $3 which was awesome.i have two papers to write now before class in the morning so im gonna get doing that.adios!
