As the title implies, many times I´m usually either way too hot or way too cold. Either we´re walking outside in the sun and the heat just rises up and envelops you all over, or we´re meeting in la sala (the meeting room) with the AC on so hard that you can see the cool air blowing in the room and everyone´s clutching their arms and shivering.
But we should be fortunate we have AC, so I won´t complain too much about that.
Tomorrow we´re getting up really early to eat breakfast, at 6 in the morning, and then we´re going to a cultural festival in a little town! So I´m excited for that. Also excited to eat some authentic Costa Rican food for lunch, not the whatever´s cheap that we make in the dorm.
OH! Today I helped B make the plantains for lunch. Now I know how to fry them. I´m going to make some when I go home. Well, first I´m going to find and buy some plantains. Then I´m going to eat them with our normal dinner. I´ll eat like a mix of American-Korean-Latin American food at home. I also have to learn how to make gallo pinto, or rice with beans (I think that´s what it is?). I´m getting ridiculously fond of it.
Also I had a really bad night last night, in an incident that involved me, the room key, a locked door, my roommate, and some tears. I don´t know if I want to explain it here, but I talked about it plenty with some other volunteers and wrote about it in my journal. I was really upset, but I got so much love and support from the others. I´m so fortunate; there are some truly amazing people on this team.
P.S. Boa is behind me reading the latest chapter of Naruto online. We had a really serious talk about Naruto on our way here. Love this kid.

I LOVE fried plantains. My mom covers them in doughiness and fries them. I think I like doughiness most.
I can't believe you have AC. I think I would rather they give me luxurious food to eat all day. But that is just my greedy self speaking.
Did you get locked out of your room?
You have to teach me how to make fried plantains!!!! I can´t believe I lived so long without eating them with rice.
I can´t believe we have AC either. Also our rooms have fans. WHAT LUXURY.
The food is surprisingly good. Like it´s simple food, usually. But I don´t get tired of it. Also I´m really hungry so that helps.
Yeah, we got locked out of our rooms for a night. I slept on an air mattress in someone else´s room and we sat around and talked about things and life and etc.
