So I am enjoying it because I am learning a lot about movie style and cinematography as well as about the history and culture of Central America. My teacher is a riot too, he calls me Booov and when I told him the correct pronunciation he said booby and well it went down hill from there. We were laughing like middle schoolers. So far my recommendation is to watch City of God, good flick not for kids. The report writing is going well but I am procrastinating right now by blogging.
We hung out with our Tico partners, local university students who want American exposure, and cleaned the beach. I used a lot of Spanish my partner Dunkan is very helpful. We then played a pretty horrific game of Volleyball but we all had fun. We finished with swimming in the ocean and FOOD!
So Tico Time= the flexibilty of people here to be late for whatever, or for class to run long, or for the bus not to come, or the food not to be ready.
i remember being called booby, not pleasant memories, you are good natured, You could have pronounced it Bovey' with the "french accent" and impressed them all, now your stuck with the booby. I agree with ruth, swimming in the dark, bumbping into thing??? are there sharks??? Learning to swim by reading a book? Simply amazing. love you, A. D
ReplyDeleteI really hope I bumped into a jelly fish! And yea I guess I would assume there are sharks out there in the ocean but not close. And I swam again I think I am getting better. haha
