Seven plus one

The number of days till I go to Connecticut! I'm frantically trying to find a beauty salon in CT that can do my nails and hair and stuff for the wedding (I hate doing it myself...) thank goodness for the internet!

I guess my goodbyes are officially starting. My boss came into my office today to tell me she is inviting me and a few of my colleagues over for lunch this weekend as a farewell luncheon! It will be great to see her house again (she's got a lovely place in San Pedro on the other side of San Jose). Sadly, she's headed off to Uruguay and Peru for two of my last four weeks, returning two days before I leave the country for good. I'm really going to miss her.

My preparations for grad school are coming along nicely too. I have a good lead on a work study job. It's at an off-campus global education non-profit (work study has come a long way since I did it in college...) that sends volunteer teachers all over the world. One of the main countries they work in is..........Costa Rica! If you follow the link, there is some excellent and quite accurate writing by the in-country team. I particularly enjoyed the articles on laundry and squeaky cheese.

No Spanish class tonight, so I'm heading to the Multiplaza. Must buy shoes for next weekend. Also hope to scout the new Harry Potter possibilities...
