Finals

The combination of my classes being in Spanish and the fact that usually we don't actually do anything in class, means that I learn very little at school.  This week, however, I did learn something.  I learned that I absolutely hate taking finals. 

We took two finals a day, each was an 80 minute test.   Mostly, they were multiple choice with some short answers at the end.  I was planning on just filling in random bubbles, but then my mom became overly invested in my grades so I had to actually think about the answers.  The only problem was that I didn't actually know many of the answers because I haven't been here for much of the trimester, and also I just didn't understand the questions.  The strange part was that when I didn't know an answer, I would just raise my hand and the teacher would come over and give me the answer.  Sometimes they would even write it down for me!  During the psychology test the proctor didn't know the answers so he just asked the rest of the class or consulted someone else's test.  But, the amazing thing about living in Costa Rica is that after a stressful week of finals, you can spend the weekend lounging lazily on the beach, which is exactly what I did.
