Costa Rica!

In June I'll be leaving the States for the first time, to spend a month in a study abroad program at the University of Costa Rica. I'm SOOO excited! I started trying to go in November of '06, and again last summer; it didn't work out either time, but this summer I'm GOING!!! I bought my plane tickets this week, and got my passport in the mail on Thursday! I got a scholarship, my parents are helping me out, and I'm working 12 hours a day for the next 6 weeks, and it's really gonna happen :) I've wanted to do this for a long time, but didn't really think I could. But the people around me have helped and encouraged and taught me to believe that I could make my dreams happen if I didn't sabotage them, and so, Costa Rica, here I come!!!
