A typical day at United World College of Costa Rica for me normally begins about 6.20 in the morning with a quick shower. Straight after this I will head to breakfast, which more often than not consists of rice and beans, eggs or cornflakes. School starts at 7.00 and ends at 13.00. We often eat lunch outside in circles on the grass, while we talk about the day that has passed and what is still to come. CAS activities start at 14.00 and last all afternoon. If the activities are cancelled I sometimes do a bit of homework or take a nap. Before supper I like to go jogging or train for a bit. The evenings are spent with watching movies, chatting or studying if we have homework for the following day. Bedtime is normally between 23.00 and midnight.
