Being that this is my first blog entry in the entire expanse of my life, I thought I should say something rather profound in addition to the genius thoughts in my head. However, I fear that the words profound and genius will not align with people’s idea of what I have to say. And I’m ok with that.
I am now done with college as I know it, and am preparing for something I really have no clue about—student life in Latin America. People tell me I should be excited, and I am, but its like having someone tell you to be excited about heaven. You know it will be great and people always say great things about it, but you’ve never been there, so you don’t quite understand how or what to be excited about. And you have to leave some really sweet people on earth when you go to heaven. Same thing with Costa Rica. I know it will be great and I’ll learn a ton and be stretched. But I still don’t know the details, so it’s hard to know exactly what to think. So that’s a small piece of how I feel.
But until the 9th, when I make rice and beans my new favorite food, I’ll be packing in the chocolate and Christmas cookies, along with home-cooked meals and meat. Feliz Navidad.
