Canada tomorrow

SO it is getting even closer! I'm leaving tomorrow for Canada! I am really excited- it's been a while since I've been home. I Majorly miss my dad and Claudette and the cats! I think it will be good to just chill out before I leave for C.R.

The dilemma comes in though- because nothing is easy. I am so excited and I feel like this is going to be one of the best adventures of my life. However, packing up tonight to move some of my stuff back to Canada is just sad. I'm really liking it here in NJ. OMG I know I never thought I'd utter the words. I just can't wait for september and to feel settled. I'm in Adventure mode which is fabulous but I also need a little consistency.

It hit me tonight too that I'm not going to see Roxy for about 6 weeks. That I think has been the biggest blow of all. That dog is my life! I think an element of fear is completely normal. I have decided that if I make it through the 4 weeks in Costa Rica completely unscathed... I'm getting my tattoo!

I saw a picture of a girl in Costa Rica rock climbing a water fall! She had the same hiking shoes as me and so I'm going to add that to my list of crazy cool things to do! I'm also getting stoked for zip lining in the jungle and snorkeling and jumping off cliffs into waterfalls! This is going to be the perfect fresh start I need!

Spanish Phrases of the day:

Whatchamacallit- Chunche

Pure nonsense of BS- Pura Paja

I would like... - Quiero (kyeh-roh)
