Megan cuadrado or Megan to the second power. Maybe we became good friends because we had something in common right off the bat-like the beautiful name MEGHAN. She spells her without an ´H´but we won´t get into the correct spelling of the name today. Megan Nelson or Megan numero 1 as she is known. She arrived in Costa Rica before me so she honestly got the title numero 1, and I am known as Meghan numero 2. Our stories are somewhat similar. She is an Ambassadorial Scholar as well, a homegrown girl from Iowa who will be studying a masters degree in Peace Studies at the local University with me. I like to point out that she is younger than me and I will be taking care of her this year as I promised her dad, but as I have quickly found out she can carry her own. Full of smiles and lots of love, we make a great team, double trouble, and we love introducing ourselves because we get immediate smiles.
I really don´t know how I would have made it through the first weeks if I hadn´t had her by my side. We are able to bounce ideas off of each other, correct our Spanish, walk each other home at night and make Rotary plans together. I am sure I will have many more stories to tell of my media pina (media naranja is a term used for novios-so I just invented a meganism to fit our friendship).
