Fear before Costa Rica

9:15am Wednesday 18 November 1998

Happy Birthday Tammy! Happy Birthday Wendy!

The excitement exhibited in the above wishes is forced. I am scared.

I'm leaving for Costa Rica in 6 hours. I'm nervous as hell. I have just recognized this feeling a few minutes ago as I'm sitting here writing email, sending the Feel Good Net, updating my site, I thinking, um.. hey I haven't packed yet.

Close my eyes, .. what's the deal? (No pun intended (inside joke)) My stomach has butterflies, I feel like hurling; I feel like crying.

I just cried. I feel better, but my stomach still has butterflies.

I'm going to start packing now.

See ya in 8 days.

OH MY GOODNESS!!

I am leaving for Costa Rica in 17 hours!!!

Last night I was up until 3am talking and stuff to Manda. Then today I woke up, did laundry, got travelers checks (tried to go to AAA to do it, but they wouldn't let me in with no shoes (the security guard said, "if they don't mind, I don't mind" so I went in and then he brought to the manager's attention that I was barefoot, and then said that I needed to leave.) so I went to Nationsbank, and I'm glad because the teller was funny!), dropped off some books, picked up some cash, made some copies at Kinko's, went to Walgreens and got a ton of film, then came home and worked on Rebecca's website for 2 hours then went to bed.

Went to visit my dad's uncle Kermit (I'm not lying; his name is Kermit) who is in town for some kind of medical stuff and then went to gymnastics and am back home catching up on email and webstuff.

I want to transcribe my diary entry from the weekend, because I know if I don't do it before Costa Rica, I'll never get it done.

I'll be back on Thanksgiving Day!
