Another day, another opportunity!

Hey guys!

Well, today was another great day on the farm. I woke up bright and early at 5:40, ate breakfast, and got to the farm at 6:30. We started the day by pouring milk into some buckets and sending them to the cafeteria. We keep all of the milk in a big container that pasteurizes the milk and empty it every thursday. After we emptied the tank, I washed the outside of the tank and cleaned the milking stalls. Once that was done, we started to milk the cows as usual. I took data down again, only today I took down the time things happened that how long it took, so instead of timing things with a timer I just looked at the time and wrote down then things started and ended. It was easier and I can keep track of more cows with this system.

We ended early today (11) so I got to go home, shower, and relax for most of the day. I had a spanish class which went over really well! I'm starting to speak more and I'm remembering tenses better.

Oh, and this weekend is going to be a big adventure! I'm going to spend saturday afternoon into tuesday traveling around Costa Rica with a college group! We're going to be visiting a indigenous community, go to a national park to see turtles nest, and stay at the beach. I'm going with Killian and other college students from the US. It's going to be great!

Good night guys! I'll keep you updated!
