So I survived the holidays and I just realized I'm leaving in 10 DAYS! I feel like I should be much more anxious and I'm hoping it doesn't sneak up and attack me a the last minute. I've been pretty busy and answering about a zillion questions about my trip. You learn a lot about people based on the questions they ask. Things are falling into place though. The major hurtle right now is packing and tying up all the loose ends.
For those who don't already know I found out my site placement!!! I'll be spending the year teaching in a small town called La Violeta. It's located in the mountains about an hour and a half south of San Jose. The 300 or so people who live there almost all own or work on coffee farms and the school has about 40 students (so very small classes... no more than 10) I'm about a 25 minute walk from the next nearest town which has internet, bank, post office, supermarket etc. I won't be living there until February though. For the first month we'll be living in Orosi with host families there. Looking forward to meeting the other volunteers and learning more Spanish. Mi espanol esta horrible ahora.
