The Less-Than-Two-Weeks Launch

       As of today, I am twelve days away until driving to San Francisco, CA with my boyfriend, Elliot...and then flying to San, José, Costa Rica! I don't believe I will really let the excitement fully take over my body until I am fastening the seat belt on the airplane. I usually try not to focus on the excitement beforehand, otherwise the days seem to always take so much longer. Right now, I am spending as much quality time with Elliot and my family in Marina, CA, continuing to introduce the seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Elliot, playing Bejeweled for hours with my mother before her graveyard shift, and cooking dinners with Elliot for his mom and dad on the weekends. Although I will not emotionally focus on it from day-to-day, I will engage on a countdown on this blog! I can't wait to arrive in Costa Rica and make my first blog post on my exceptional adventure!
