Good Evening Everyone!
I'm so sorry that I did not write blog last Friday as promised ... I had a very big test to study for you and then had really bad food poisoning. Now I am <almost> back to normal!! So let's catch up shall we?
Well we learned a little more Spanish on Friday with Dr. Kozub, but there is only so much that we can learn before we go, but she is giving us a lot of resources to use! We also had to sit down and plan some other important parts of our trip!
I guess I should remind you that my main purpose for this trip is to do Community Health Nursing in San Jose :) It will be really interesting to compare their nursing with that of the U.S. However, we are also trying to squeeze in some time to do some excursions.
The excursions that we discussed included, hot springs and zip lining, horseback riding, ATV-ing, hiking, white water rafting, and something else that I am sure involves me being in a bathing suit and scaring the world. Oh yeah and SLOTH FINDING! Dr. Kozub promised me that she would do everything that she could to get me to see a real sloth! That would defiantly make everything AMAZING!
There is still a lot of things that I need to do before my trip, I handed in most things as far as paperwork is concerned. Lets see:
Kara's TO DO!
1.) Get rid of fear of flying
2.) Get a copy of my passport (still)
3.) Pay for the cost of the trip
4.) Community Health 8 page paper
5.) Pediatrics Quiz
6.) Pack
7.) Shop...
Okay so the list is still large for the amount of things that I have to do, but I am still so excited to go !! We are just a little over 1 week from going! 10 days actually. We found out that we are flying out of Buffalo Airport at around 8am, as far as change over flights and all that is concerned... I don't know anything yet! Everyone kinda has ants in their pants about going on the trip! We are all excited as EVER! From what my Krissy has told me (She is going too) it has been in the 80's and low 90's there during this week. I can only imagine what it is going to be next week.
My Parents are coming to see me this weekend one last time before I head down to Costa Rica! I can not wait to see them. Oh and a Special Thank you to Cory for setting up my blog so that all of you could see what I was up to!! Thanks Cory!! Hi to my friends who are reading this at home. :)
I guess that is all for now. Next blog will be friday 3/2/12 :)
Catcha Soon :)
