Snow storm here.... 70 degrees there!

Well, on weather.com, we have been told that tomorrow afternoon here at MCLA we will be having between 8-12 inches of snow... Thinking it was only October, I never brought any of my winter gear back to school the last time I went home. Well, I guess I will suffer tomorrow then, haha! But note to self.... bring back winter jacket, gloves, and hats!  So the only thing stuck in my head now is the song "Sunshine in my sky" by Kate Voegele.Especially the lines (chorus) " Maybe I should pack my bags and fly to Costa Rica. Put a flower in my hair, a dancing senorita. Oh put a little sunshine in my sky! Oh what a lovely day to be alive. These eyes are longing to see a side of summer, to leave my cares in the breeze. Woah....Put a little sunshine in my sky!" As you can tell from those lyrics, this was actually what the blog was named after as well! All I want, is to be down in Costa Rica right now and to just relax with no possible snow storm! 

Asi, necesito dormir! Adios!

75 days and counting...and getting excited!

The closer it gets to January, the more and more I realize that I need to start packing and get ready to embark on a new adventure in life. Sometimes I start to think if this is a good idea or not, but then I listen to some music or I speak to some of my friends in Spanish, and I just know I have to and that I will have an amazing time, I will learn so much, and it will hep me accomplish my life dream! ! I talked with my advisor this last week and she helped me pick out my classes. I will be taking 3 Spanish courses during the mornings, and then I will be taking two electives which are..... digital photography and Intro to Latin American tropical Dance! Anyone who knows me, knows that I am very active and I need to stay active to live a healthy lifestyle, so these two courses are going to be the best two classes ever for me to take! I am so excited to have had this opportunity just kind of fall into my lap, and I know I worked hard for it, And I am ready to take action and do my best work to have the best time I could possibly imagine!

Well, I guess I should get back to working on my plans to Costa Rica and finish up my homework for this semester!!

Adios y Dios te bendiga!

Picking out classes

Well, this should be interesting! I have a meeting tomorrow with my adviser on campus for My IDST major (which includes the Spanish major). So, looking through the classes that are offered at this University in Costa Rica became very interesting! I picked out a couple of classes that I thought seemed interesting, or that I could benefit from! Some of my ideas for classes : (1) Intro to Latin American Tropical Dance  (2) Selected Topics in Afro-Caribbean Studies  (3) Digital photography  (4) Creative Leadership Skills  (5) Human Rights in Latin America  ! So these seem like a broad array of subjects, but they either seem like a great opportunity or like they would help further my education! I don't know what to take though! I can only enroll in at most two of these, so... Now the process of elimination!  But first.... Off to class! T.T.F.N.
