Nine days suddenly seems much too short

It's only a little over a week until I hop on a plane to leave the good old U S of A. For months now I have been trying to get ready for this. I've written list after list of things I need to do. Paperwork lists, financial aid lists, things to buy lists, things to pack lists. Hell, I've written lists about the lists I still needed to write. And I've crossed everything except packing off. But I'm starting to run out of lists to write which is why I am now starting to freak myself out. I don't know how to prepare for five weeks in Costa Rica because I've never spent five weeks in Costa Rica. And the country doesn't come with instructions.
Although I have a rough itinerary of where I will be when, I do not have a handy guide on what to expect day to day. (Day One - Terrified and won't understand a word being said. Day Five - Find a friend. Day Thirteen - Get sick from the water. Day Thirty One - Ace the final) I have been working on studying abroad in Costa Rica for over six months, but once I get there I am going to have to let go of my lists and wing it.

This is going to be interesting.
