The itchy, twitchy spider

I have had a twitchy right eye for three days and now I have an itchy neck. I have been blessed with nice skin (thanks mom!) but I get fricken rashes on my neck and chest like it's my job! For the past 2-3 years I have been getting heat rashes pretty much every time I am in the sun. I remember last summer waking up at 1am itching like crazy and having to go to CVS right then for anti-itch cream. It's the worst! So, I have a SWEET (and itchy) red neck right now. The neck issues I can explain, but why the twitchy eye? It's a mystery.

This is my last week for one of my classes, too bad its the one I like best. I am very proud of myself though... I am getting an A in both my classes, and for being in the 2 highest possible Spanish classes in the program, thats pretty damn good. Yeay for me! (Yes, I did just brag..) I suppose my late nights have paid off so far.... but they also call for a vacation....

Stay tuned for more details, but I am working on changing my flight because I want to stay an extra week! I have a good week with nothing going on at home and nothing really to return for, so as long as I am down here, I might as well stay! I am going to Bocas, Panama this weekend, and will check it out to see if I should return for my week of vaca. I'll be hanging with my girl Lilly, which I am so glad for, because I don't want to leave her yet!

I am still freaking out about bugs. This is so gross: I was getting ready for bed on Monday night and I opened up my closet for my pjs and BAM a fricking bug the size of the PALM of my HAND was crawling around in my closet.
(pic!) To be honest, it could have been a cockroach. I am trying not to believe it, but it damn well could have been. I sat there stunned for a second and then called Ali to get our tico dad to kill it. OMG. Plus, while we were at the hotsprings, I saw another bug the size of my hand right by my foot, and some further away that seriously might have been BATS! I am pretty much guaranteed every night to see at least one of the two spiders that live in my room (THANK GOD for high ceilings), probably about 3-4 ants, and about 10 flying bugs. There was a gecko in one of my classrooms today and my teacher tried helping me catch it to bring it home to eat all the bugs, but it was too fast and I didnt want to hurt it. I truly LOVE Costa Rica, BUT I will be really relieved when I don't have to worry about bugs like this at home.

Alright, I have to get back to my homework. Love to all!
