Last Day of School

It seems like I've been here forever, but it feels like just yesterday I wrote my "First Day of School" blog! Today for breakfast, we had gallo pinto, scrambled eggs, coffee, bread, and that blackberry jelly again. No fruit this morning!

Today in class, we got our final exams back and our final grades. I got 100% in the class! :) Then we watched a movie called "The Whore and the Whale." They watch very interesting and inappropriate movies in this country. The movie was really bad. We watched it in Spanish with English subtitles. During the movie, I felt my desk and body shake. I thought that my professor or Jack, who were sitting next to me, was kicking my chair on accident. Turns out, it was a tremble!!! Like a small earthquake! After the movie, my professor asked if we felt the tremble. I had no idea it was a tremble at the time. But I felt it and I was so excited once I knew what it was! Now I can say that I've felt the earth move. It was such a weird feeling.

After class, I got money out of the ATM for the last time. I also talked to Victor for the last time. He can't take me to the airport on Monday morning, so I'm going to have to take a taxi. My plane leaves at 8:30 am and I'm leaving the house at 5 am.

Bethany, Carley and I went to a smoothie shop nearby (not the green building) and I got a strawberry banana smoothie with some ice cream. It was good! We also stopped by the bakery and got a quick calzone-type thing with ham and cheese which was our lunch.

We went home and rested for about an hour, and then went to the artisan market one last time and got some souvenirs. After the art market, I stayed home and rested. I still didn't feel that good after yesterday's McDonalds, and I had to get up really early the next morning. After dinner, I rested some more, then Kaydee, Grace and I all went to the bar Los Profesionales. The "Gringo" bar. It was a lot of the students' last night, so almost everyone was there. I was there from about 9:30 pm - 10:45 pm. It was nice saying goodbye to everyone. But it was such a weird feeling knowing that I will never see them again! When I got home, I went straight to bed.
