Wow, HOW is it the end of November already?!?!?! The closer I get to having to leave Costa Rica, the faster time seems to fly by! (Which is definitely not a good thing! I'm already starting to go through withdrawal and I haven't even left yet!). Anyway, even though I haven't been blogging a lot lately, it's not because I haven't been doing anything. In fact, I've been crazy busy the last few weeks, mostly hanging out and partying with my students/friends (because at this point, they're all my friends in addition to being my students. I love them!) In this post, I'm just going to give you a sampling of all the stuff I've been up to lately. Brace yourself ;)

Halloween in Costa Rica!
First things first. Today is November 2nd, which means I will be flying back to California in exactly 2 months. That makes me exceedingly sad. Don't get me wrong, on the one hand it will be nice to see my family and friends and get back to "life as usual" but I've had such a WONDERFUL experience here that my heart hurts when I think about leaving. Okay, I just had to get that out. Also, on the plus side, I have lots of adventures planned for the next two months, so it's pretty much guaranteed that there will be lots more pics and more posts to come. When January 2nd does come around, I already know I will have gotten the most out of my time here, which makes me very happy.
So, now, Halloween in Costa Rica! For those of you who know me, you know I'm a pretty big fan of Halloween. I don't really know why per se, but I guess I just like that Halloween ushers in Fall and I like all the stuff that comes with it. I like the crispness of fall air, especially before the nonstop rain comes, and leaves changing colors/dead leaves on sidewalks (is that weird?). I also like candy corn, Halloween decorations (I can't get enough of fake spider webs and skeleton cut-outs), costumes, trick-or-treaters, carving pumpkins, scary movies, haunted houses, and, possibly most important, I like to watch Hocus Pocus every year when it's on the Disney Channel because it's pretty much one of the best 90s movies of all time. (I also might own it, but that's only so I can watch it if I happen to miss it on the Disney Channel...Also, it was $5 at Target and I'm a sucker for those deals.) I also like throwing and/or attending Halloween parties, group costumes with my friends, and seeing all the ridiculous costumes on other bar-goers. It's just a pretty much guaranteed good time.
