First day of Classes

So apparently in Costa Rica, time is extremley relative. Basically we were given all of these times to be places, like 8:00, 10:30 and 12:30 and we get there at about that time and always we waited around for at least like 20 minutes before anything happened. They even explained to us (American Students) this wicked theory on time and how cultures are with time etc... Basically in Costa Rica it seems there is a good 30 to 45 minute window were you can be "on time". No bien en America. Anyways, basically today was one of those days that any plans you had made got destroyed instantly because they didn't let us out of orientation until 4 and we all wanted to go to the tienda to buy things, such as beer and sunscreen but that didn't really work out, well we did get to the store and everyone filled their carts with only beer.

Dinner was fantastic tonight because I understood at least 80% of everything said, unlike every other meal before this. Still loosening up and what not, but its all good.
