My homecoming was much less hectic than when I arrived in Costa Rica. I was able to understand people and my family was there for me :). It was a rough travel experience though (plane troubles and a 5 hour delay).

I do miss having the more laid back approach to life. People here are always so busy, and it drives me crazy. I also miss the learning process involved in speaking and listening. It is easy to understand and speak here, but it was a learning experience every time I spoke or listened in Costa Rica. I miss the people I met there as well, and the crazy adventures that we had on the weekends. On the other hand, it is nice being able to just sit around and talk with people here, without worrying about the mistakes I might be making. I love being surrounded by my friends again.

I miss these people so much. I met so many fantastic students and faculty while in Costa Rica, and they were all really genuinely good people. I am so sad to leave them all behind, but we are still connected through a phone call or a facebook message, so it’s not really goodbye, it’s until the next time!!

I am so happy to see all of their smiling faces again! My friends here have been an incredible support network for me, and they continue to make me feel so much better when they are here to talk with me. I can’t imagine my life without them!!
