I realized the other day that I forgot to include the rest of my goals for the semester. Besides the obvious one of wanting to improve my Spanish, I would also like to work on the following:
1. Learn how to cook at least one Costa Rican meal
2. Meet Costa Ricans – this doesn’t necessarily have to mean becoming friends, but rather just conversing with people who I don’t already know
3. Don’t be dependent on the Internet. This isn’t really up to me, since I’ll only have 5 hours of Internet a week (more if I’d like to pay…but I’m poor…and cheap), so instead I’m going to try not to whine about it. Hopefully, I’ll realize that the world continues to revolve whether or not I have access to Facebook and email.
4. Stay relaxed – not stressing out about classes, missing home, homework, boredom, etc. In hindsight, everything always appears so much more trivial and the worrying that went into each situation was just wasted energy.
5. Keep track of the money I spend. After last semester’s fiasco, I definitely need to keep better track of where and how often I spend money. Even though things here are cheaper, and the cost of living is lower, keeping track would be a wise idea. Perhaps no one will be getting gifts from me this semester. :-P
