Hi guys,   again......  Sorry for the length of time between posts! ive been bogged down with work and partying   haha  :P

Ive managed to upload about half of my photos onto facebook, im trying desperatley to get some on here, (i.e the ones of the iguanas's outside my residence)  im going to try again at the end of this post,  fingers crossed from now on!  :)

The parade i talked about in the last post was.........   AMAZING!    It was so much fun parading through the streets of Santa Ana, seeing all the customs and traditions of all the cultures at the college, aswell as the amazing performance / carnival that the 'Tico's' put on, to celebrate their independance.

My cistumne being typically english attracted alot of attension, so many people wanted to have pictures with me,  one women even asked me to hold here baby!  haha
However, the costume being english also meant it was thick material, which therefore meant it was bloomin' boiling!  sweating buckets i was!  haha

Classes have started getting hectic now, especially English A1 HL and Physics HL,  so much homwork! essay after essay for english, and chapter after chapter out of the textbook for physics. aggrhh!  :P

I just thought....  10 weeks ti'll christmas!   haha! 

We are hittin' up the beach this weekend, and i have managed to get hold of a short board to go surfing  :D   whoooohoooo!   im gionna come abck with shoulder length bleach blonde hair, baggy cargo shorts and one helluva tan!   haha

anyway,  its quater to ten at night here, next post to come soon (definately! as they have kinda got the internet back online)

bye guys  :)

Hey guys,

Sorry for the "long time no post" thing. The wireless internet over here has been down for ages because of a storm, and they are working on fixing it.

Ive had SUCH an amazing time since I last posted, we went up into the mountains of Costa Rica of the edge of the rainforest to stay in log cabins for 2 day for what is called in UWCCR language "the camp" It was amazing.

The activities with everyone were hilarious, making yourself feel like such a pillock is THE best way to make friends.  And ive made so many. they are all awesome people.

Me and my mate Rich went swimming in the river in our boxers, climbing waterfalls and swimming in the plungepools. So cool.  the swimming pool on camp wasnt bad either  ;)  haha.

The bus journey there and back was the scariest bus ridfe of my life. the driver was in mny opinion the best coach driuver in the world. 1000ft drops on either side of a hairpin bend and he gets a full 55 seater coach round it with out even hesitating.

Good fun though  :D

The fruit market here on a sunday is the best. the fruit is soooo cheap and is sooo fresh.  and yes ivo...  they have lichi's  haha.

We wnt to the fruit market yesterday and then caught thre bus to "la savanna" which is a big park just outside of San Jose. we sat next tio the lakes and bought ice creams and played frisbee and ate fruit and just ahd a great time.  Was so much fun. The feeling of independance is amazing.

Classes started today,  at 0700hrs in the morning....  yes they STARTED at 7.  Which means i was up at 6 to shower and grab breakfast.  Oh well.  Suppose i'll have to get used to it. Ive got higher level physics next. im using my 2 free periods to write this now.

Ive downloaded MSN onto my laptop now, so i can talk to you all,  and keep in mind that my lunchtime is about your 7pm so that is probably the best time to catch me online  (take 7 hours away from your time and that my time)

Missing you all, and hope that your first days at college were good, and matty and ollie...   hope you had fun at school.  fairfields an amazing place  you'll be fine  :)

anyway  gotta go,  my arse in numb from sitting on the ground outside the teachers offices (the only place the wireless still works)
