Tobacco

so, i'm in the tobacco group here. i'm in the group with diana from ucb, joanne from harvard, susie from texas women's institute, and myriam from dunno. we're doing the influence of advertising in rural youth. too bad i don't know much spanish.. anyways, that's pretty cool. i originally wanted to be in the food and nutrition group b/c i'm doing the food and culture class in the fall but whatever. so now i'm taking pics of all the tobacco ads i see. so far i have 2. woo! i'm on a roll!
the class is taught more like a seminar type thing than an academic class which is pretty cool. but they also like to spring assignments on you 15 minutes before the class is over due the next day. i'm like.. ummmm... wanna give me a bit more time? but whatever.
omg. ok, so, this morning i leave from my house in canitas (needs a tilde but don't know how) to walk to a quaker meeting in monteverde. which is about 1.5 hrs away. so i gave myself enough time. i left at 7 for the 9am meeting. on the way i meet 2 others who are also going. ton and blythe. we walk together into santa elena, the next town over. walk through, get on a main road, keep walking, keep walking, keep walking. then we're in los llanos. ummmmmm.. WRONG WAY!! so we turn around. and IMMEDIATELY after, it pours. POURS POURS POURS POURS. then blythe asks a guy in a car how to get to monteverde. he says "oh, i'm going to the cheese factory (which is right next to the institute and has yummy ice cream) so he gave us a ride. then we walked to the meeting. i was drenched. and being the well prepared person for getting caught in the rain, my jacket was unzipped for part of the downpour, my jeans were soaked through, and my socks got wet. dunno how. the quaker meeting was cool though.
