Today was another great day here at EARTH!
Since Kilian missed the bus to go to the FIO so he helped me out in the finca pecuaria with some of my research. We loaded milk into the back of the truck, watched the cows walk into the corral, observed their behaviors while feeding, and took pictures of the cow's udders, feet, and ear tags when they were being milked.
We worked in the finca until 11 and I headed back to my room to shower, record some of the data collected, and grab a study sheet for my spanish test! I ate lunch with Kilian and some of the girls I've become friends with. We talked and they helped me study for the test. It was on simple preterite and preterite imperfect which are my two worst enemies. After lunch I took the test in Profe Emilia's office. I think I did ok, but I know that I struggled with a few of the sections. Once I finished the test I went to help out in an english class. I learn a lot of spanish by sitting in and helping out with english classes. Things have to be explained in both languages so I get to hear direct translations and explanations. I also get to help out my friends, which is a big plus!
After english class ended I took a walk behind our building. I've been trying to find a sloth and I've started to look around the woods more. I couldn't find a sloth, but I did stumble upon these little critters! There were about 10 of these Cotis forraging for food. I thought they were the cutest things!
That's it for today guys! Thanks for reading!
