With a slight change of plans, I have decided to come home a bit early. Now I will return to Colorado on July 17th and leave for Spain August 28th. This leaves me plenty of time to do everything I want to in Colorado. Costa Rica is a nice place to visit. But living here? I'd rather not. At least not right now. I always imagined that what I always wanted was to live anywhere but the United States, and I suppose I was wrong. I need civilization. I need the city. I cannot live in a small town where everywhere I go, I see all the same people I know. I can't walk down the street without running into twenty different people that I know, which is nice sometimes, but others, it's not.
I anticipate that I will enjoy living in Spain a lot more. It is more developed there, people are cultured and intelligent. Not to say that people in Costa Rica aren't, but I miss being in a town full of college students where there are people who are dedicated to education and where you can ask these people about the things they are learning and they eagerly tell you. So you learn a bit from them, and they learn a bit from you. I can't wait to travel and see Europe, visit Italy, visit France. I think I might even persuade my father to fly out for Oktoberfest... (whatcha think, papo?)
All in all, I am just very happy do be going home. I have done my thing in Costa Rica, and I did enjoy it enormously, but I think my return to reality is overdue, and I am excited to go home, drive my car, talk on my cell phone, and just be... American. For a while at least.
This is the countdown.... 11 days, 8 hours, 4 minutes and counting until I'm on a plane out of this country!
Oh, and ps, I need a job, anyone want to hire me??? Didn't think so.
