preparativos

Right now I’m in the midst of lots of the last minute preparation stuff for Costa Rica. After listening to the health department lady give me a lecture on not traveling by myself or consuming alcohol on the airplane, I got updated on all my shots. Out of all the shots that I’ve ever had do you know which one is the worst? You think it would be something like yellow fever or typhoid, but no, my arm is still aching from the flu shot! Now that is ridiculous. That may have very well been my first and last flu shot.

Today I spent an hour at the department of motor vehicles trying to figure out what to do when your license expires when you’re out of the country. And did I mention that I’m trying to work on remembering 5 years of Spanish? Yeah, I should have started reviewing earlier as I’m beginning to realize the effects of not having any Spanish for a year and a half.

Nevertheless, the thought of being gone for the semester finally feels tangible. It is insight and beginning to be something that my mind can comprehend. As all the details begin to fall into place I can’t but help to get all the more excited. So here we go…one week left!
