As the Seasons Change, Excitement Builds!

Hey guys, I’m incredibly excited! Why you ask? Because I just found out that I’ll be heading to Costa Rica for a short course during winter break. What could be better than going to a warm, sunny country for 12 days during the coldest time of the year? Staying in the rain forest for those…
