Final Countdown

Holy cow, where did June go????

I leave for Brazil in two days. TWO DAYS. From this moment, I have exactly 53 hours until I am securely buckled into my (economy) seat and flying up, up, and away.

I feel....almost ready. The trials of this past week have done a number on me. On one hand, I'm slightly worried about my mental health. I've had some issues making decisons this week...trying to decide on a place for dinner sends me into a hysterical fit. Packing my swimsuit was difficult, and I've still been having trouble sleeping. On the other hand, I'm looking forward to getting AWAY. I'm looking forward to having a schedule, to having LOTS to do during the week, and the freedom to run wild and explore on the weekends. If there's ever a place to distract oneself, it has to be the land of sun and sand and amazingly brightly colored clothing. Not having to deal with sympathy cards addressed to my dad instead of me will also help.

Also, I bought makeup a shade darker than what I usually buy during the summer. I WILL get tan, gosh darn it all!

Well, I should probably get back to cleaning my room. In the meantime, here are some teaser pics of what's to come.

Barra Guest Hostel: Where I will be staying for 95% of the trip. They offer a free cocktail/fruit smoothie hour every day.

A view of the Atlantic Ocean and some cute houses. I plan on scuba diving while I'm here.

Pastel houses in the city center.

Ate mais (until next time)!
