The classes are different because they are smaller and in a cabin, with a lot of creepy bugs. However, Dr. Pegg is a great and interesting lecturer. The campus is very large and the hiking trails are enjoyable for early morning or midnight hikes. It is interesting to see how different life is here in Costa…

Actually, I think I have two problems. 1. I might be addicted to coffee. Seriously. 2. It’s going to be very, very hard for them to convince me to leave this amazing place. My time in Costa Rica so far, a mere 5 days, has been incredible. Every single person we’ve met is so welcoming…

I leave for Costa Rica in one week. I would like to think that I am prepared, but I haven’t had a lot of time to think about the trip, let alone prepare for it! I still need to pack and get mentally prepared for leaving the country. I have traveled extensively through Europe, so…

Translation – see you in a week, Costa Rica. Wow, I can’t believe there’s only 7 days until we leave for Costa Rica! It seemed so far away, and now there’s only one very busy week keeping me from this trip. I can’t decide if I’m nervous or not – I know my parents are. I’m apprehensive…

As I prepare for my trip to Costa Rica so many things are running through my mind. Although my main concern this week is taking care of my immense amount of school work before I go, I am also concerned about packing. We were provided with a detailed packing list of everything we would possibly…
