T-minus

Hey, what's up guys?

As many of you reading this already know, I'm going on a little trip this summer before I start law school this fall. On Sunday, May 30th, at 6:15 AM, I'll be leaving the United States en route to Costa Rica, where I'll be spending three weeks living with a host family and taking Spanish lessons near the capital city of San Jose. After that, I'll have the next six weeks to do as I please, with the exception of one scheduled event: On Monday, August 2, at 7:55 AM, my flight back to the United States departs...

...from Bogota, Colombia.

Since lift-off is less than two weeks away, I figured now would be a good time to unveil my blog. It'll give me a chance to get in the habit of writing everyday, and it should allow ample time for all you vagrants to get in the habit of visiting everyday. (If you don't, it's no big deal. We're just not friends anymore.)

Other than to offer an engaging and humorous aside to your otherwise monotonous daily routine, I make two promises regarding this blog:

1) Internet access permitting, I promise to make a post everyday, starting today. (When I'm in areas with no internet access, I'll do my best to make hand-written entries and to update the blog when I return to civilization.)

2) To appease the increasingly ADD-infected population, I'll keep it short and sweet.

Oh, and one last thing: If you have any obnoxious rhetorical questions or off-handed comments regarding any of my posts, please don't bottle them up. Feel free to share them with the rest of us.

Thanks for stopping by.
