This the pre-class assignment that I have just finished working on as I sit in the airport because I got there 3 hours early. But just because I’m going to Costa Rica does not mean I can get away with not doing school work, unfortunately.

I get extrememly anxious before traveling. What if I forget something? What if I get lost? What if I don’t understand anything that’s said to me?
