I officially have somewhere to live and I AM SO EXCITED. Everything is finally coming together so that I can do less organizing and worrying and more sleeping and enjoying. I will be living in a house with about 3-4 other girls (and maybe Kelly. He will be so outnumbered....) and I will have a Costa Rican mommy, Oky. She lived in this house with her children, and now that they're all grown, the house is too empty, so she rents out the rooms to people like me. I have been in contact with the daughter, Gigi, since Mama Oky's English is "rusty." Gigi sent me pictures of the house and the room I will be in and it looks BEAUTIFUL. Floor to ceiling windows in the living room, big back yard, and the linens on my bed are even yellow, my favorite. Gigi says that Oky is a very kind and loving mother type, and she'll even cook breakfast and dinner for us everyday! :) I am SO looking forward to that! One of my favorite things about my trip to Ecuador a few summers ago was the meals prepared by my wonderful host mom, so I have high expectations here! We will also have a maid that helps around the house, which will be nice since laundry is my arch enemy. I don't know if she'll actually be in charge of laundry or if she just keeps things generally tidy, but I am crossing my fingers. AHHHH YAY! I haven't been able to sleep all week because I have been so excited. Here are some pictures:
The hallway
TV Room, my favorite
My future room I think
I also got in touch with my principal yesterday. He sounds very laidback and genuinely interested in what he does. I will be expected to dress like the typical teacher, no uniforms like the kids, and I even asked how I could get involved in the volleyball program there, but no response yet. Hopefully, my classroom teacher will email me back today. I can't wait to have 3rd grade, ESPECIALLY if they're studying weather this spring like they do in 3rd grade spring semester here!!! Whoooo!!
Done with finals, Costa Rica, internship, and graduation HERE I COME!
PURA VIDA,
Jessica
