one more trimester

We've officially decided to stay in Costa Rica for another trimester of language school. We've learned a ton already, but realize how much more there is to learn, and we definitely want to be as proficient as possible. So we will finish up in early August. We all feel really good about this decision. Also, I (Angela) am getting a tutor one afternoon a week to help me with conversation. That's the hardest part for me. It all makes sense in my head and on paper (well, not everything, but at least all that we've learned :) but it gets all jumbled up when I try to speak. Like at the grocery store yesterday when I asked the worker if I could buy half a carrot when meant to ask if I could buy half a watermelon. ARGH! What's so frustrating about that is that the word sandia (watermelon) was one of the first vocabulary words I learned! Oh well....I just need more practice time with a native speaker.
