Creepy Crawlies

When our deadly yet adventurous walk came to a conclusion it was time to wash away all of the bugs that died on my face and all the ants that crawled in my shoe. It was shower time! Now, from the previous ambassadors of Costa Rica Study Abroad, we have heard of some not-so-good experiences when it came to showering. So, while preparing to end my night, I was on the lookout for frogs being in the shower and any other creatures that didn't belong in there with me. Me and my buddy Givonni
decided that as roommates we would guard each others' backs while the other showered, in case of an emergency. Now, while Givonni was showering, and I was washing the soap suds off of my face, I heard a few murmurs coming from the shower. Before I even realized what happened I heard screaming and saw a Daddy Long Legs on the shower curtain. Before my body even registered fight or flight, she flung it off of the shower curtain and onto me, which is when I knew I had to exit the premises. As she was screaming on the inside, and I was screaming on the outside of the door (focusing on not dying because I didn't know where it was located) I went back in to make sure she didn't scream too loud so we wouldn't disturb any of the others. But that failed to happen. The bathroom was filled with screaming and laughter and as she left the shower I was hesitant to get in because I didn't want to even know what was in there. But in the end it turned out that I was able to have a complete shower because there were no longer any visible bugs and we ended the night on a clean note.
