Arenal Day 8

We know it is slightly early for an update, but we have got time. mucho mucho tiempo. last night jess was finally able to send in her application. we ended up missing a dance class because we didn´t know where it was. we then walked the town for awhile and decided to return to our room at 10 pm. Not a lot of funny things occured... natalie spent a few hours killing bugs with her windex spray (photos will come soon). we woke up at 530 am to the lovely dog that barks in front of our room every 10 minutes. we arent very happy campers when we wake up and we tend to get up later and later as the days go on. 645 on our first day, 7 the next, 705 yesterday and 715 today. breakfast is at 720. school was muy bueno. aprendimos muchas cosas. after class we went to this ´soda´for lunch. we ate there yesterday and said why not today... we asked the lady how big the lasagna was and she showed us with her hands. so we asked for one to share. jess wasnt feeling too hungry... 30 minutes later, out came a 9x11 size lasagna comes out... horrified, yes we were but we were like, wow what a deal... this is only 6 bucks... of course with our luck... the waitress wasnt too helpful, kept ignoring us, and then when we told her we had class in 5 minutes and needed the bill... she forgot. we got the food to go and then finally after asking again for the bill... she said it was $20... i (jessica) in my muy bueno spanish (it really is getting better) i told her that we ordered the small. we pointed to it and everything (the big one wasnt even on the menu) and she of course thought for some reason we wanted the large... ugh... one more thing to add to the list... we didnt know what to do, she looked at us dumbeyed and dumbfounded... we left... no tip for her, and sorry, we wont be returning.
so 20 minutes late to medical spanish class we went. we did have a great time... our class is with the doctors there and i seriously think that he thinks we are dumb the entire time. but today he told us that he has a lot of fun with us and he gets excited when we come because he has so much fun... today natalie and i had a laughing attack (i might start right now) haha because natalie got all of the dirty words today... last night i was telling nat that i am always the one having to say the dirty words when we have to say the vocab... not today... natalie got to say them all and half way through, we could hold it in no longer... at defecar (to defecate) we busted up... he looked at us like we were crazy and then i explained to him why we were laughing so hard... he didn´t think it was very funny, but then i kind of think he didnt understand what we were saying... mind you, this doctor looks just a couple years older than me. the rest of class was fun... we teach him the words in english and back and forth we go. we even stayed later than we needed to... like 45 min later. now we are doing the usual, at the internet cafe, will go and get our coffee drinks and tonight we get to learn how to cook a costa rican meal. i also turned in another application for the oncology floor and i am feeling more and more that that is where i want to be. we also found a hotel today that is 20 dollars for each of us per night and has cable tv, air conditioning, a bigger room, and a private bathroom and hot water, with a pool... it is costing us the same amount to stay in our familys home... i think it is time to move... please continue to pray for us and that we have the strength to stand up for ourselves. God seemed to just change everything and i am grateful natalie and i have as much joy and laughter as we do... oh we just cant wait to tell our children... this is the greatest story ever... besides getting engaged. 8) until tomorrow...
