The day has finally arrived! I am on my way to Costa Rica, currently flying over some part of the middle of the United States on my way to Houston. This isn’t my first blog post; I actually wrote my first post several months ago in a state of giddy anticipation of the trip. But now it is really here. My first full year at UNI is over. I had an awesome semester. I made tons of amazing new friends, volunteered, went on a road trip, took the MCAT, and finished organic chemistry. It kept me busy, to say the least!
Friday and Saturday were emotional days as I said goodbye to friends and family. My mom woke up at 3 am and drove me down to Cedar Rapids this morning. From there I went to Chicago and now on to Houston. Unfortunately, there is bad weather in Texas so the flight is an hour longer and I am scheduled to miss my final flight to San Jose, Costa Rica. I am anxious to arrive so I hope that by some small miracle the gates are next to each other and the five minutes I have to catch my flight will be sufficient. If not, I’ve never been to Texas before and I suppose I will experience Houston! J
I hope that I can stay in touch with everyone through this blog while I’m on my trip. PLEASE ask questions or write me a quick note. I would love to hear from everyone! I hope you enjoy my blog
