ONE WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And despite all the exclamation points, I really don't know how I feel about that. Predominantly nervous, I think. I'm waking up now and it was just a dream, so how come the real world's changed too?

Scary thought: I can't remember the sound of anyone's voice (besides my parents' and Laura's).

There was some speculation on Sunday about how you might have changed. Someone said,
"I think she's grown"
"Physically?"
"Well I didn't ask her, 'could you fit into a 4' by 4' cube' or anything, but maybe"
And then they just started talking about people fitting into cubes.
(I probably misquoted that)
But the point is, we're excited too! And if you've changed, so have we.
Start preparing some simple answers (for those who don't care) and some real answers (for your friends) to the ever-present, "How was Costa Rica?"

That was Laura, who said she's grown. And you being difficult. It was funny and awesome.

Me being difficult?

[water__hyacinth]

Asking if she's grown physically. I suppose that's not that difficult. I just felt like saying it.

Was that really me? I feel like I was vaguely overhearing this from across the room, but the whole evening is kind of fuzzy now.

The simple answer is easy, because every two seconds or so somebody here asks me "Do you like Costa Rica?" or "How's it different where you come from?" All I have to do is translate the answer.

And I don't think I've grown physically. Not in terms of height anyways - weight yes, but I'm currently not caring about that. The trouble is everyone's so short here, there's not much to compare with.
