Holy gringos batman! There were soooooooooo many people at Quartel last night. Which of course makes sense, since a summer program just started again for Veritas. But my personal bubble was invaded once again and the roomies and I called it an early night due to the fact that we started school today. So, at 7:30 am we departed for Veritas to discover our class schedules. Advanced 1 from 8-12 and then PanAmerican Literature en español from 5-7 pm.
For orientation, we were shown a chart with an oscillating line illustrating the emotions that we were going to feel during our study abroad experience. I think that I am on the down side of one of those curves right now. And looking at the title of this post, you might ask what was so wrong with this day. Well four hours of intensive spanish conversation after 6 months without practice is guaranteed to give you a headache. Add that to the headache that my charlie foxtrot of a program is giving me and my head was about to explode around 2 pm when I got an email about my plane ticket reimbursement. The program, that messed up the dates for our stay here in Costa Rica and therefore required that I change my plane ticket (costing me $561 out of pocket), is telling me that they will only reimburse me for the "change fee" of my ticket, which is $100. And finally, I was the only student in my elective class, which means I have to find another class that can be transferred back to my home University, which I am sure is going to be a piece of cake and a great time all around. I need an upswing, because this paradise was not so much fun today.
