Day 1

Today was super surreal. Starting out with heading to Chicago and getting lost on the way to trying to find the O'Hare airport.... But making hilarious, slap happy tired memories with my sister, mom and brother in law. It was a lot of fun!
The plane ride wasnt bad, I slept most of the first plane ride just out of sheer exhaustion.. mind you this is sitting straight up with my knees to my chest because there was absolutely NO leg room whatsoever, and the person ahead of me decided to put their seat back. And I had a window seat. Window seats are also not condusive to having to go to the bathroom really badly.... Though they are nice for the view.
Some unexpected things popped up, but everything eventually went smoothly and I am sitting in my new room. I basically started out my time here with a bang, was explained the bussing system (I dont remember it at ALL), went to the grocery store and enjoyed some classic Costa Rican food (plantains are the best here!) and then came to my new home, took a shower, then Kristen and I went shopping for food for the next week. Now I sitting... and its hitting me exactly how tired I am... But the nights not over yet! Going up to the High school thats being built to visit the group that came down... And tomorrow Ill be getting up bright and early to go sit in on classes to see how theyre done... Who doesnt just throw themselves into things these days? :)
