My very first day of school

Even though I was supposed to start school two weeks ago, my first schoolday was today. Tico-time is sometimes a bit special, nothing ever happens when it is supposed to happen and when you think it will. At first we were supposed to go to school the day after our arrival to Nicoya, then one week later, then the wednesday that week, friday, monday next week, and then finally today, tuesday. Yeah sometimes tico-time can drive me nuts , but mostly it's just really nice with a culture that allows you to do things when you want to and not when you have to.

Since today was the first schoolday it was also decided this morning that I'm not going to the school I thought I would go to, for sure. Since I changed hostfamily I thought it would be better to change school as well. So now I'm going to an even smaller school, close to the center of Nicoya. In my class we are seven girls and ten boys. Out of these seventeen persons, we are four exchange students, all girls.  I go to 11th grade, which is the highest grade in CR. This is their last term in high school so I'm not sure what I'm going to do after christmas. But it's really chill because they start school every morning at 7:00 and end every day at 12:00, while the rest of the school ends at 13:00 or 13:30. Also, from what I've heard, 11th grade doesn't have as much homework as the other grades either. Jihaa! :)
