Goodbyes and Goodtimes

We are getting to the end of our time here down in Costa Rica. It's given us all time to reflect on the past three and a half months and soak in the last moments we all get to share together. On Saturday we formally moved out of our host families, and as part of a thank you we made a video for them. It's in Spanish, so I won't be ofended if you don't watch it, but I did want to share it with you  all. Luckily I get to go back one more time (tonight) and hang out at "La casa de mama Kuki." Hollie leaves tonight though, so I will have to say goodbye to my Costa Rican sister. *tear*

In addition to saying goodbye to host families, many of my classmates are beginning to make their way back to the homefront. We have spent the majority of every day for the past three and a half months together and therefore have formed  some incredible bonds. One of my friends, Lauren, wrote a song for us all to the tune of Down by Jay Sean. It's amazing, and super hilarious, especially for all of us.

WHITWORTH SOUTH

You gotta know

Nick likes to save sea animals

And Lara has heart

But watch out or she will spray your parts

And heather is scared of bugs and anything that moves

But Bree is brave and drinks ants in her brew

Hey Whitworth don’t worry

We’re in Costa Rica

But don’t look like Ticas

Especially if you’re

6 feet tall like Anne

We get lots of cat calls

Trip on uneven sidewalks

Here at Whitworth South South South South South

And we all know

Aaron can dance the tango-o

And Josh has some guts

Cause he picks up girls on the bus

Joanne got real sick and

For a while had a fever

And in her dreams Bean will

Marry Justin Beiber

Hey Whitworth don’t worry

We’re in Costa Rica

But don’t look like Ticas

Especially if you’re

6 feet tall like Anne

We get lots of cat calls

Trip on uneven sidewalks

Here at Whitworth South South South South South

Sarah’s goin to Japan

Emily loves a married man

Amy plays the guitar

And Kata is a soccer star

Our faithful director 

Is a little bit hairy

And Justin and Ravi have 

A new best friend named Larry

Hey Whitworth don’t worry

We’re in Costa Rica

But don’t look like Ticas

Especially if you’re

6 feet tall like Anne

We get lots of cat calls

It is a fact

Danica really loves to dance

I’m starting to wonder

If Alexandria owns any pants

Adam and Jenni have put up with all our songs

Britta has a journal

That she always brings along

Hey Whitworth don’t worry

We’re in Costa Rica

But don’t look like Ticas

Especially if you’re

6 feet tall like Anne

We get lots of cat calls

Derek’s a liah

Cause he cheated on me with Ziah

Amelia is always happy

On bus rides Hollie took a nappie

Rachel has a contagious laugh

And around san Rafa she ran

It’s really a shame that

Ray Ray never got a tan

Hey Whitworth don’t worry

We’re in Costa Rica

But don’t look like Ticas

Especially if you’re

6 feet tall like Anne

We get lots of cat calls

Trip on uneven sidewalks

Here at Whitworth South South South South South

South where it’s really hot

Unless you’re on the mountain top

We’re here in Central America 

Where 18 year olds can bar hop

Compost. That’s what’s up

Don’t put it in a garbage truck

Just watch out for the jelly fish

or you my friend are out of luck

Gallo pinto every day

here cross dressing is okay

gringas walking down the street

makes all the guys call “ay bay bay”

We’re heading to the states this week

probably not indefinitely 

and really

in Spokane is it STILL snowing?!
