I'm feeling frozen. My head is spinning and the world keeps on a-moving. I think this is the hardest to grapple with. There are some days I feel odd and need to sit down, but of course, time, people, places keep happening.
I am starting to wonder if my luck is going to run out. I start back at school on Monday. I have five courses, co-vp of an organization, and I hope to land an internship. Plus, my sessions every two weeks during this semester. Please oh Please, I hope I make it! I am dreaming that one day this will be a faint memory and I will be laughing around the table with friends over wine and dinner, "Remember that time..?" kind of thing.
On a cheery note, I bought a sewing machine at the Old West End Festival this summer. So far, I have hemmed up a dress (if that is what you call it) and I made something! I had been scouring the internet for a hip pill container to no avail. So, I made a holder of sorts. I love to use old yarn for things and find fabric at goodwill. This is what I managed.



I love being crafty, but I am not really the most talented. But, it is really fun! Hope everyone is enjoying the last tidbits of their summer, bring on the Fall!

Missing Costa Rica

I'm baack! Fresh off the boat from Costa Rica! Matt and I had two weeks of spontaneous adventures in the most beautiful country. We started off in San Jose and then headed to the Caribbean Coast, Cahuita & Puerto Viejo. We snorkeled, saw a shark!, hiked in the jungle, hike to a waterfall, saw a baby monkey and swam in the ocean everyday!



After a week in the Caribbean, we took a whole day to travel to the mountains. Here the we traded the sun for the Bosque Nuboso (cloud forests). We hiked for hours in the forest! It was absolutely breathtaking. Next, we did something I thought I'd never do...canopy tours! We zip lined 400 feet above the ground, and over 1000 feet on one the lines! At first I was terrified looking down the line high above the trees, but then with some encouragement from Matt and the tour guy, I did it! At one point, they let us go together. It was scary and wonderful. Matt and I couldn't see the end of the line because of the clouds!

Overall, it was a unforgettable time. Thanks to everyone for the well wishes!!
