Leaving.

I haven't updated my blog in quite sometime. I haven't felt like writing much lately. You see, I leave Costa Rica on Saturday and I'm not sure if I can think of much more than that. And I'd rather not think about it. But the approach of my departure is immanent and I regret to say that I started packing tonight. The only consolation I can find at the moment in jamming out to The Beatles on Youtube. Although I feel incapable of expressing my feelings-- the "bitter-sweetness" of leaving (oh how I hate that cliche)-- I will tell you the "plan" so you know what to expect and when. I will refer to it as "the plan" because I'm not sure if I'm ready to accept it. Saturday morning I leave Costa Rica-- the place that's been my home for the last several months. I will have to leave Jaco in the middle of the night Saturday in order to make it to San Jose for my 6:55 am flight. I will be traveling with Lisa who has been my side kick and friend since January. We arrive in San Diego, CA at 8:32 pm. We will be picked up and then drive across the border into Mexico. Did I mention I hate traveling? I will be spending ten days in Mexico visiting my friends, debriefing my time in Costa Rica with my school, picking up my things that I left there, and saying goodbye. On September 20th, I fly from San Diego to Detroit, Michigan. A few days later I plan on returning to my home town Petoskey. And that my friends is the plan for my departure from Costa Rica and my return to the Great Lake State. This is going to be a super hard time for me and please continue to pray for me. See you all soon.
