Te Amo

Just got back last night from 12 amazingly beautiful days in Costa Rica. It was the BEST trip I've ever been on, and I'm not just saying that. I think that I've honestly changed my view and figured some things out over the trip, which sounds really weird. Anyway I wrote a journal (mandatory for the class) and will hopefully be typing it up soon. I can't wait for everyone to see it! But obviously some names will have to be altered...LOL

I miss it so much already. I fell in love.

Pura Vida

Some kinda absence

Sorry fellow bloggers and avid readers (I wish...but I can dream right?) I haven't written in a little while...No it's not been as long as my other hiatuses..hiati? Is there a plural form of hiatus? Because hiatuses just doesn't sound right...ANYWAY I digress...I have four finals in the next two days annnd need to be getting Costa Rica stuff together...So forgive me? :) < 3
I will def. write before I leave though!
Getting EXCITTEEEEDDD? Well you should be. Live vicariously through me; This will probably be the most exciting part...LOL

CR

I seriously can't believe Costa Rica is gonna be here (well I guess, I'll be there) in 1 week. It seems like not so long ago we were all complaining that we had to waaaaaaiit till December to here where the study tour would even be! And after that it seemed like forever until May would come. And when we were assigned our research papers it seemed like so much work, when the trip was soo far away.
I can't wait to have a break. I think that's the biggest thing. Everyone in class says the same thing too; it's just constant work in this program and the weekends don't even help (except to give you a few extra days to study for those bi-weekly exams or projects...)
A break from all of this "stress" and tension and personal...drama, is veryy much needed and appreciated. Yeah, we have to keep a "journal" while we're there. Which could be like work, but I'm actually pretty happy about it. I've always wanted to write about a trip, and it's always gotten...stupid. So this time, no stupidity cause it's for school. Well, at least less stupidity anyway.
Everyone's already started packing; I'm a night-before-er. That way I can see everything I need, and I'm not wondering if I packed something already or not...

Gosh. I sound like a bore right now.
It's the morning and it's right before work. I'm half asleep, give me a break. Or at least a piece of your kit-kat bar. When I'm more alert I'm sure I'll be more entertaining that right now


ONE WEEK.
I'm so not ready.


But I so so am :)

Hey Boy

OK so I shouldn't have swore that I would write! But I've been busy...and not just in a "I want to see you but I'm so busy" way that a bf says to his annoying gf who won't leave him alone. But I really have missed you and been busay.

Guess WHAT!!!
The Vampire Weekend concert was last Sunday :) It was amazing!! The experience sucked...but they were so so good live! I couldn't believe that they didn't sound like other people who sing live...ahem...Avril Lavigne...(live or recorded, I suppose it's the same lawlz). Did I mention that VW brought their own chandeliers?! Mhm, three of them that would sometimes light up to the beat of the song :) Oh and their backdrop was a huge "Contra Girl" as I call her. The cover of their 2nd cd...except GIANT AND sometimes during a song her eyes would like up like an evil psycho robot!

Their opener was a girl (woman?) called The Blow. She was ...strange to say the least, but I'm pretty sure that's what she was going for. She was really good though, better than most guests. Listen to "True Affection" and you'll be in love too. (Hey Boy is reallyyy good too :)

On another note, SPRING IS TODAY! 11am! My favorite season (minus the bottom of your pants getting gross from slush); I heard birds today!!!

Oh and in case ANYONE is interested...A certain someone (N) has seemed to find their way into my life again. I don't think that I've mentioned this person on here...possibly ever :S But it's a long and complicated journey; the gist is that they screw me over tons of times but I'm "significant other-ed (:D)" with their sibling, therefore cannot get rid of them. And so when I am forced to start talking to them again I tend to get too attached...until they screw me over yet again (never seems to fail). And so the hideous cycle continues...Hopefully (I'm sure I say this every time) this time they'll be nice and not go back to the [insert DOZENS of expletives and derogatory terms here] ex-gf again.

MUSE is on the 29'th of March! It's supposed to be one of the greatest concerts in N. America...or the world...? Anyway that should be supa AWESOME. I really wanted to go to Simon and Garfunkel in May but guess what? Tickets start at $70(!!) and go to $550(!!!!??!!). So I guess I won't see them before they pass...(lawlz)

I think you're up to date now...

PS I am now a Costa Rica specialist! But still have to complete the research/attractions part of the report :(
PPS I am now a Israel specialist (which makes me more happy than Costa Rica haha, and I did it for fun)

Land Down Under
