The time has come.

Well, folks, the time has come for me to say good-bye for now. After much packing and deliberating all week long (if you count downloading the first two seasons of Friends and hanging out with all of MY friends every night as "deliberating"), I'm off to Costa Rica for the next 4 months of my life. I'll be up in the air at around 6:50 tomorrow morning, and from there it's just a 3 hour flight to Houston and a 2.5 hour flight to San Jose, and then it's adios English, hola Spanish for a whole 16 weeks. I'm sure I'll be describing the brain aches to you in much detail. So many reasons to keep reading this blog. =]

Anyway, I know it's hard to remember to read these things (I've never been very good at it myself), but I just thought I'd write to keep my thoughts organized and have some memories from my trip, and at the same time update anyone who is interested in consistently reading it. Note: if I don't post for an extended period of time, don't call the authorities; I am probably just doing the usual and procrastinating. Hopefully there will be some fun pictures to see as well, although most of them will probably make their way onto Facebook too.

So that's about it for now! I love you all, I'll miss you mucho, and if anyone wants to take a sweet vacation and come visit me in November, talk to Elena. =]

Much love. Peace.
