Today's the day everyone...I'm off to Costa Rica in just a few short hours. To be honest, I'm pretty torn up on how to feel. I'm nervous about the flight, about my spanish speaking abilities, and whether or not my host family will think I'm a total moron or not. I'm sad about leaving people I love for a while without being able to have contact with them whenever I want. But on the flip side, I'm so excited to set out on this adventure.
So on this day, I hope that you pray that I forget about all the negative feelings that I have and simply realize that this trip will be a once in a lifetime opportunity and something that I have been wanting to do for a while. I hope that I embrace every opportunity I have to try something new and realize that everything I have temporarily said goodbye to will still be here in 9 weeks. And although 9 weeks seems like a long time now, it will fly by, and I probably won't want to leave Costa Rica in about 8.
I love you guys very much. Thanks for being there for me as I take this trip. I can't wait to see you all in 9 weeks. Until then, I'll be sure to post as many pictures as I can, send emails and postcards, and call as much as I can; I hope you do the same.
Goodbye Ameeeericaaaa, see ya in 9 weeks! :)
