Well, I have two days and the remainder of this one in Costa Rica, follow that up with a bag-drag on Saturday and I'll be back in good ol' BG.
I have survived/experienced: cockroaches, food poisoning, public transportation, classes in my second language, life in my second language, cold showers, boredom, exhaustion, sunburns, excessive sand everywhere, mosquito bites, information overload, homesickness, cold sickness, allergy sickness, dehydration, back pain, sleepless nights, beans, rice, beans and rice, culture shock, family shock, blisters, exhaust fumes, pollution, being hit on by drunk guys, being hit on by sober guys, catcalls, phone calls, skype calls, torrential downpours, thunder, lightening, futbol games, big ants, little ants, mean ants, smaller ants, nice ants, leafcutter ants, black ants, red ants, ants stuck in my computer (not joking), Costa Rican aunts, and several paragraphs more of poorly listed items.
Oh, and then there were some phenomenal experiences. Still digesting everything, so don't look for any dramatic summing-up style entries for a few weeks. If they even make it here, then.
The fact that I'm leaving doesn't feel real to me yet. I'm still waiting for reality to kick in and smack me in the face. Probably some time during my layover in Houston, I'll realize that I just left Costa Rica and don't know when I'll make it back here, but until then, I'm still just floating along without homework and with tons of free time. It's rather nice.
So, all that to say, it's been a blast, it's been a challenge, and thus far, I haven't failed any classes yet. Can't wait to see you all whenever I have the pleasure of doing so.
Pura vida!
