The host family and such

So after a couple days I got used to the way things were going to be. Every day we eat breakfast literally right before we have to leave for either class or for a weekend travel. Juliana and I can’t help it. We are always living on Latino time. We are usually late to class. There always seems to be some others late as well, so we don’t look as bad. Like the one time Marty and Rob were like one hour late to class. That day Juliana and I were 20 minutes late, but nobody noticed as much because everybody was still waiting for Marty and Rob.
So for breakfast we eat fruit every morning. I get a fried egg with toast on the side, but Juliana doesn’t. I don’t know why this is relevant. I’ve never had a scheduled breakfast before so I guess this was nice to experience. I’ll always remember Gloriana’s questions in the morning. “Buenos dias!” “Como te dormiste?” “Te vas a banar?” No hay agua caliente. “Quedes que te lo pongo?” etc.
When I wake up, she’s cooking. When I get out of the shower, she’s cleaning. When we leave for Universidad Veritas, she’s getting Luis Carlos ready for school. She talks a lot, but she does so much for the family. Even though she’s a little odd, I think she likes to talk a lot because she doesn’t get the opportunity to. Carlos is gone 4 months out of the year. She gets international students from U. Veritas year round. This gives her a chance to talk and have company. The house is usually quiet with just her and Luis Carlos. But last week Carlos’s three sons from Florida (who are originally ticos) came to visit. So it’s a pretty full house. There’s Gloriana, Luis Carlos, Carlos, Juliana, Carmen (me), Juan Ignacio, Felipe, and Paolo. I actually love it. I come from a busy household so I like to see people around the house.
We don’t really see the fam that much because we are constantly busy with traveling or classes. When we are not doing that, we are visiting Juliana’s family in Heredia y Alajuela. She’s lucky she has so many cousins her age. Her fam is really nice. They take us places like the mall, etc. They went out with us at the beginning when we first got here. But they haven’t lately because they are all very busy. We visited her little baby niece the other day. That was my favorite. She was so cute. She’s a new born so we didn’t stay very long. It takes us at least an hour to get to Heredia and Alajuela, then back is another hour. The traffic is horrible. We are actually going to Alajuela today, or at least that’s the plan, we’ll see what happens.
