Now that's a HIGH LEVEL PROOF!

Now for some outside-the-classroom,

real world education...
I learned something new last night with Rafa at the Blue Nile! I'll show my knowledge through this kick back to high school geometry... It's much easier with the helpful links and illustrations (fun with collages!):

It's been so long, but you haven't changed a bit!

My favorite possession isn't really mine. I stole it. It's a plain white t-shirt that Raul was wearing the last night we were together. It smells like him! (... And probably a hundred million other guys because he wears AXE!)

Well, I didn't actually steal it. I accidently packed it, and I'm not sure how. But I'm sure glad that I did. True confession: I sleep with it every night-- it has replaced Cuddly the teddy bear.

Meanwhile, he's somewhere in Colombia smuggling dru-- I MEAN "playing in an orchestra."

Just to be clear on that last post, watching the sunset at Playa Brasilito WAS one of the happiest moments of my life... The wednesday when I posted that photo was not.

Life consists mostly of studying Spanish and for the LSAT now. Friendly people, save me from myself!

In other news, Rafa is back in town, so we'll be dancing friday, finally!

I plan to get my life in order again and come out of this depressive stupor of missing Raul and coping with my family. Long conversations with Nick are really helping. (Y)

Surprisingly, I don't have anything cheesy or ideological to say. Enjoy a picture of a real live Costa Rican monkey, and another of a really hot couple:

Not the happiest moment of my life...

Today was quiet and sad for me. The power was out all day (thanks to tropical storm Cindy), and I didn't have my cell phone, so I didn't really talk to anyone. I'll just share a picture of Brasilito at sunset...
Sunrise will hopefully bring brighter times, and happy memories...

Buscando guayaba ando yo...

This morning I had blueberries and peaches for breakfast. That was pretty awesome; I felt like I was in a magazine or something, they were so pretty!

And, as many things do these days, it reminded me of Costa Rica... they have so much fruit! And everywhere "frescos" are served, which are these fruit drinks. I would ask, "oh what are those flavors?" after they listed them, and sometimes I would get an answer ("Mora" is blackberry, for example). But, what's "cas"? Well, there's no English translation, but I'll try it. (I'd put anything in my mouth, right?) And it's a fruit. C-A-S. Haven't you heard of it? (I even googled it and couldn't find an image!) And there's a bunch of fruits like that.

I learned that "guayaba" is guava though, and I think I've heard of that before...

Anyways, they serve "frescos" throughout much of the continent, so this isn't some great revalation on my part... but man! Imagine how much healthier we would all be if we exchanged our cokes for those things...

Most of them were REALLY good-- even if I had NO FREAKING IDEA what I was drinking... And they were locally made... so much for not drinking the water! Oh well, I'm alive and healthy, more or less...

June 16th, in the San Jose airport. I am so sleep-deprived in this pic that it's unbelievable. And I couldn't eat at all when we got to the restaurant. But I was so euphoric!
