End of formal Spanish

On Thursday, I made a formal presentation in my Spanish class. On Friday, I took a final exam to mark the end of my formal Spanish courses here in Costa Rica. Due to the exceedingly cost of taking an additional course, I will have to continue to learn and improve my Spanish by conversing with my host family and other Ticos and studying on my own. I was, however, very happy to get a break from the four hours of intensive Spanish. This gives me an extra four hours each day to explore San José and really get to know the culture of Costa Rica. To top it all off, I passed my five credit Spanish course with flying colors :) Immediately after completing my Spanish final on Friday, my group left for an eight hour drive to Granada, Nicaragua.
