Today was my last day of class. Four weeks flew by. This week we reviewed subjunctive and then did a review of all verb tenses. We also played word games and talked a lot. It was a great week. It was just Natalie and I in class with Sydnia again so it was very relaxed while still being beneficial. I think it was my favorite week. I really enjoyed spending three weeks with Natalie and loved having Sydnia as a teacher twice. Her style works really well for me. I like calm and informal. I like my summers to be chill. Tomorrow I'm hanging out with my host mom all day and going out to dinner with her extended family. I'll definitely miss people here but obviously I'm ready to get home too. 

Realized I never posted about Poas! I got to see Poas 20 years ago but definitely wanted to see it again because it was a favorite. It wasn't on the school's tour list,but the school's driver mentioned having done it and a strawberry farm with another student not too long ago so I asked about it and 3 of us went.  We got the most beautiful day and a perfectly clear view of the crater and the lake.  Then we toured a finca de fresas and it was really neat to learn about the agriculture and process. 

Finished my third week of class. I think this week's group of students was the most evenly leveled. Obviously it is extremely difficult to always have 3-4 students at exactly the same level, but this week we really were. We were also all teachers! Our new student was a French teacher. And the bilingual sped teacher from last week is still here and will be here with me next week too. It's been so nice to have one constant companion. We're going shopping together on Monday! This week we worked on present and imperfect subjunctive and next week we finish subjunctive! Feeling like I have a better grasp on it now, but definitely still need practice. It is so hard to fully grasp something that doesn't exist in English. Each week you get a different teacher, but next week we get my teacher from the first week again so that will be great. I really like her.  Can't believe next week is my last week. It has been an amazing experience and I've loved digging deeper into exa...
