"See You Soons"

I have decided to start a blog while I'm studying abroad in Costa Rica! I'm hoping to keep it updated so family and friends can see what kind of adventures I'm up to, we'll see how long it lasts though :)

I have been emailing with my host sister these past few weeks who has also helped me feel more comfortable with my departure. I will be arriving to a big family of my host mom, her daughter who still lives at home with her husband, and their two daughters ages 4 and 8 as well as my Aunt. I'm mostly excited about the two young girls who won't judge me when I have silly questions about vocabulary and everyday terms!

I leave Monday morning and I can't believe how quickly August 27th has come. I remember getting my acceptance letter in the mail thinking I had forever until it was time to leave and now I'm leaving in just three short days. "See you soons" to friends and family have been hard, but I know my limited time in Costa Rica will fly by and I will be seeing everyone when I return in December. :)

Guess I better start practicing my Spanish vocabulary now...
