Estoy perezosa.

Boredom: the state of being bored.

This is a strange sentiment for me, because I never have tiempo libre. Or if I do have free time, I find something to do with it. I am so used to running from one place to the next and filling every waking moment with some activity or another. Is it bad that I found myself wishing that I had homework this weekend so I would have something to do? Probably so. I'm still looking for something to do--maybe I need a lesson on how to do absolutely nothing at all.

This week has been so chill; I don't know any better word to describe it. I was actually excited to have absolutely nothing to do with myself this weekend since we have taken so many trips. I didn't set my alarm, but still woke up at 6:45 ready to get ready for school. Then I remembered it was Saturday and went back to sleep until 8:15. That's still considered early for me, but I was ready to get up and moving.

I ate breakfast, took a shower, and got dressed. For what? I'm not exactly sure. Mama Tica is feeling a bit better, but still sick, so I washed all the dishes that had piled up. Despite being ill, I woke up to a plate of eggs, bowl of fruit, cinnamon raisin toast, and coffee. It was in my spot at the table and covered up to stay warm. She is so the Costa Rican version of my Nana. She told me the other day that her secret to cooking is "amor." (love)

I took a little stroll the the grocery store to find myself something for lunch and I also bought Mama Tica a bouqet of flowers. Mostly I just wanted an iced coffee. I don't know what I am going to do without Cafe Britt's iced coffee after I return to the US. (I've already checked and it is not sold online since it is refrigerated.) My point of the story was that I went to go find my own food, and within five minutes of me being home, she had brought me a bowl of fresh fruit. I just don't want her to feel obligated to be cooking elaborate meals for me, but she insists. What's a girl to do?

I have a tv in my room, have been here 6 weeks, and have yet to turn it on. Maybe it's time I whip out the remote...




delicioso.



Yes, I took a picture of my fruit, but yes, you are looking at it!
