Pura Vida

Today was another unique day in the great city of San Jose. We got up and went to class where we learned about 1 one more verb form and then also we learned more about the personal pronouns and adjectives. Now, my sentences are getting much better, and I can even write a little bit better in spanish. The class is very good as all of us are at about the same level, so everything flows pretty well. Our teacher is pretty good too so that helps us in terms of learning the language. After spanish class, we had lunch. I bought an oriental wrap from the supermarket and was surprised to find that it was actually pretty good. We then had our instrumentation class where we learned about suction pumps and promoting negative pressure. We also learned about the various safety valve checks and the most common problems with suction pumps such as the filtrate getting stuck in the motor which would destroy the entire machine. We also had lab where we revisited the idea of soldering and checking our work with the multimeter to see if we correctly connected resistors,etc. We lastly used heat shrink tubing to further enclose the connections. It was a very standard lab that will helps us get through the basics of electronics. After that we went home and did the old homework and reading before we went to a Jazz place to celebrate a friend on the trip's birthday. It was great with good music and I loved it a lot. This was a good way to cap off the day. Now, it really is time for me to sleep. I really feel like that is all I say in the end. Congrats USA for getting to the second round of the World Cup!
