My little Costa Rican brother, Luisca, decided to scare us on Halloween. He got Zoe (my new roommate from England) pretty bad; she said she screamed and jumped out of her skin. He waited for me on the couch for hours and, unfortunately, had to go to bed before I got home from the climbing gym. That's what happens when you live so far away! Carlos, the dad, was joking about how it was probably for the best because I might have punched him, seeing what happened when I almost got robbed. Its been great having a roommate from England especially because it makes me realize how often I really do have to ask what the heck she's talking about because even though we both speak English, we say quite a few things very differently. It makes me feel better about the amout of times I have to ask for clarification in Spanish and that it doesn't always mean that its just because of the language.
