We've got about 2 and a half weeks left here, but classes are already starting to wind down bit by bit. I worked ahead a little bit last weekend, so I'm done with all of my essays for my classes. Our last Intro to Costa Rica class was this past Monday, and our last ACM field trip was today (we went to see a couple of famous churches in Cartago). We're close enough to the end of the program now, that I pretty much know what I'll be doing every day until I'm back in Nashville. This weekend we're going to Monteverde, and on Monday we'll be taking our Intro to Costa Rica final exam and turning in our final project for Literature. Tuesday and Wednesday we'll have a lot more free time, with only one class each day. Thursday is ACM's famous Thanksgiving lunch!! A lot of my Thanksgiving favorites don't exist here (like cranberries) so I'm not sure what we'll be eating, but just about anything that comes out of Iveth's kitchen is delicious. We'll be leaving town one more time next Thursday or Friday to go to Manuel Antonio (a beautiful national park/beach on the Pacific coast). That will be our last full weekend here. Then we've got final presentations for Biodiversity, written and oral Spanish exams, a bunch of different evaluations of the program, and a going-away lunch with all of the ACM staff and host families. We'll have that Friday free to do something as a group, and people start flying home on Saturday (including me).
It's really hard to believe how quickly this semester has gone by. I realized today that no matter how much I can squeeze into these last two weeks, I'm going to be going home with a lot left to do here. As our classes finish up, we'll have less and less work each day, so hopefully we'll be able to take more advantage of our free afternoons!
