Who now?

Forever, yes, I know. Sorry, everyone, but look, I'm here, and I'm going to try to post with more frequency than I have as of late. So here it goes.

I thought about doing a massive Costa Rica post, but then I realized, it would be way more fun to tell you everything in person with pictures and other fun things. I'll simply say, I had lots of fun, there were times when I missed all of you like crazy, the sun was nice, but I'm glad to be back home. You can see the pictures over on Facebook as I slowly load them since Facebook hates me right now and isn't allowing massive upload.

My college update is this: excluding the pretty-much-impossible scenario of Stanford accepting me when I check on Friday (1PM), I will be attending the University of Minnesota's College of Liberal Arts next year. I'm really looking forward to it; my intended majors are two things that I know I will enjoy studying, English and Geography, and I've accepted the fact that I'm going to be poor for the rest of my life. Yay!

In other news, today we had to identify 133 out of the 192-ish countries in the world in Human Geo and I didn't do too badly, 125/133. Most of them I missed were in Asia, as in Lebanon and Syria, Georgia and Armenia and Qatar and UAE; I also confused two in Africa... Oh well. I aced the "stans" (Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, etc) and Central/Southern Europe; I do know the difference between Slovenia and Slovakia. Hey, this is exciting for me; see my intended majors from above.

Otherwise kind of a blah day and tomorrow doesn't seem to promise anything overly exciting other than the political geography discussion. I'm sick, I know, shut up.

Tomorrow, tomorrow!

Let's talk about last night first. Rianna, I think that is the best time I've had in a very, very long time! (Not that I don't love you Crystal, but this was fun). I've missed you lots and lots; in fact, I miss all of you lots and lots!

Now, today, I'll be packing! Actually, that's not exciting at all. We'll be going through everything I need to bring to Costa Rica; so that when I wake up at an ungodly early time tomorrow morning (yes, 4AM is ungodly early), I will have everything packed. By the way, does anyone know how long an iPod battery can last? Because, I plan on killing mine, and I don't think I've ever used mine for more than half the battery length and it's been close to six hours. Oh well... I'll find out tomorrow.

Speaking of tomorrow, there begins my "grand adventure" with the 43 other people on the Spanish field trip next week. I've become cautiously optimistic about the whole scenario, which is better than not sure I wanted to go at all which was how I was last week at this time. It doesn't matter, in twenty-four hours, I'll be at MSP airport looking for my plane to Houston. At least I'm in Qualley's group for this trip; although, considering CaLyn's my roommate, I probably didn't have any other choice.

I'm going to go relish my last little bit of freedom before my mother wakes up and forces me to start packing.
