Blog entry #1,
I'm leaving for Samara, Costa Rica in 17 days, and I am definitely NOT ready. I haven't purchased any school supplies or decided on what clothes I'm bringing down. I just purchased travel insurance and got my CPR certification this week, so at least the business aspect of things is almost over. I'm starting to freak out. I don't speak Spanish well enough to just up and move to Costa Rica for 4 months! I know the school is all in English, but I'm getting there a couple days before classes start and will have to spend a night in a hotel by myself, which is moderately terrifying. I also don't cook well enough to be able to survive by getting everything I'll eat from an open-air market once a week and cooking every meal from scratch. No more bagels or microwave dinners for me! I have a feeling that once I get there I'll look back and think "what the heck was I so afraid of?" but until that happens, I plan to continue freaking out.
I got my textbooks in the mail a couple weeks ago and they're amazing! I cannot WAIT to start classes. There's going to be lots of Anatomy (obviously), but there's also units on Pathology, Shiatsu Massage, and even Nutrition and Meditation. I'm stuper stoked for it. I also can't wait to hear the Howler Monkeys swinging through the trees and listen to the waves break on the white sand beach while I'm listening to lectures. Not so excited for the crazy heat I'm about to experience, but I have a feeling I'll get used to it. I don't really have a choice do I?!
17 days and I'll be on my way to Massage School!!!
