I am finally here in Costa Rica! It's so weird to finally be here after so much anticipation. It doesn't feel like I will be here for 4 months.. it kind of just feels like I'm at camp or a missions trip or something. Yesterday morning I had to wake up around 4 for my 6:45 AM flight. All of the traveling went well.. except for when my huge bags fell on top of me and made me fall over after going through customs .. slightly embarassing.. especially because I was by myself at that point. But anyways, about 6 other students had just arrived at the airport and we all drove to Portantorchas together. The campus is so beautiful.. it is usually hot in the mornings and then rainy in the afternoon, and then a lot cooler at night. I am staying in a casita with 9 other girls.. so far only 4 of them are here. 2 of them are here for their second semester.. so it's nice to have some people who already know how things work around here. My roommate is a girl named Emily from Texas and we unpacked all of our stuff this morning. She brought like 4 huge 70 lb bags.. I guess everything is bigger in Texas :). Anyways, we are like the same person in a lot of ways! So that's good. About half of the students are here so far, so I have been meeting so many new people. Everyone is realllly nice and I'm so excited to meet the rest of them! This morning we took a trip into San Jose and walked around a lot and got pizza for lunch and I bought shampoo and conditioner because I couldn't bring it on the plane before. (so Mom, you don't need to send me any :)) Thank you all for your prayers! It has been a very smooth transition. Miss you all! Mas luego.
Love, Sophie
