Semana santa

After not blogging for a couple of weeks I feel like I owe you guys atleast a small update.

Right now I have vacations because of easter, and it's hopefully going to be a wonderful week. The entire family from Heredia is here, in one hour Bram and Vali will get here with the bus, and tomorrow Henry is coming. I'm happy we have vacations so that we can go to the beach because this is the warmest part of the year. You feel like a chicharron whenever you step out of the water which is by the way, so warm.

Crazy classmates

Not because school is that difficult or that I study extremely hard or anything, it's just that in the middle of the day I always get so tired! I guess it is the heat, I gotta say, every single day I just want to throw my pants off. They get sticky and aaaaah I just don't like them!

Luckily school is fun even though I sweat like a pig. My friends are crazy, and every day I go home with new memories. "Contra la pared, ¡ey! ¡ey!, contra la pared"

Pura loqueras <3

Cooold dives

I went diving today! Andres picked me up at seven to first go to the diveshop to sign some papers and then to the boat. Today the tour went to Las Catalinas, a 40 minute boatride (we saw dolphins on the way today!!). The first dive started off warm but all of a sudden came a coooold current. It was alright though since the water was warm sometimes too.
When we came up a snorkler had inhaled water so we had to return to the shore so that he could get to a hospital. At first I thought he was a diver so I thought he had decompression sickness and got so scared. But luckily when they handed him over to the coast guard it seemed like he was fine.

Most clients didn't want to do their second dive as they were a bit shaken by the whole thing but three of us stayed on the boat as it went out to Isla Plata, five minutes from shore. This dive was even colder and even though I was wearing two wetsuits I found myself daydreaming about a hot shower and a sauna. So these weren't really my best dives but all dives can't be good, right?

Dormida

I came home from school with various things planned to do. But I fell asleep and in this heat you don't wake up if you don't have an alarm. So I slept for about three hours and woke up with an headache a couple of minutes ago. Great.

It's easier than you think to make a difference

Here is a real case and a real girl that needs your help! Her name is Mariana Beckford and she's nine years old. She has leukemia and in order to get well she needs to get a surgery in USA. The costs of the surgery and hospital care in USA is for the family way too big, and therefore they are asking for your help. You can donate money to the bankaccounts of her parents, and the numbers you find on the picture above. Together we can help this little girl! Thank you!

¡Unidos por Marianita!

School and gymnastics

I woke up early to go to school, almost missed the bus, but ran like the wind and actually catched it. In school we had one lesson and nothing more. The rest of the day we just sat in the hallway singing (loudly and ugly), so the hours passed by quickly. At 1:00 I got permission from the reception to go home so I got to gymnastics in Flamingo at 3:00. After the two classes I stayed there for an hour dancing for myself and then I went home again.

About the weather. It's so windy and yesterday a tree fell down right next to the house while I was sleeping. It's supersunny  every day but this morning it was actually quite chilly. At noon though, it was as hot as always. So that extra shirt I wore on my way to school went off quite quickly.

Update

Since I wrote the last time I have...
-Started school- for real! Now I actually wake up at 4:45 every morning. School is kind of like last year, I don't do so much, I just hang out, talk with friends, play volleyboll, eat, etc. It's actually nice and I mean I'm not really pressured to have good grades or anything.
-I've finished the PADI Open water diver course and am now a certified diver! And soon I'm going to take the next course too. I don't think I ever thought I would enjoy diving so much, but I really do. Snorkling is fun too, but it's nothing compared to diving.
-I've gone to the beach.
-I've gone to different fiestas nearby, and I also went dancing with some  friends the other day.

Ok I actually don't remember all that I've done, because I've been busy all of the time. At least I've had fun, that I do know. And if you look at the pages in my diary, then yeah, I've been doing a lot of stuff.

This weekend I was going to go to Playa Dominical to a music and yoga festival, but because of carproblems we didn't go, and today I was supposed to go to a catamaran but I got invited 15 minutes before they picked up their clients and I didn't feel like running down to Flamingo (which btw takes 30 minutes and not 15) so I didn't go. Instead I went with Laura to Conchal and now I'm eating a mango and washing my schooluniform for tomorrow.
