question: It 's been two weeks since I left for Costa Rica , although so much has happened in that amount of time that it feels like months have passed . For starters , getting to Costa Rica was a story in itself . I had figured out that it would be cheaper to fly to Costa Rica from Houston than from DC , and I wanted to fly back into Houston on the way home to spend a couple of days there with Lu .
Q: What may happen after they leave Costa Rica ?

answer: They will fly in Houston .

question: So I thought , great , let 's go for it , we may not get the chance to stop by a Scottish pub together for a long long time after this . But the thing is , I just have no taste for alcohol , ha . It 's not that I have a moral problem with it ( as long as you 're not being stupid ) or that it makes me sick or something - I just think it tastes sharp and kind of bitter .
Q: Why do n't you have a moral problem with it ?

answer: Nothing about my morality is related to the substance

question: Thursday was pretty awesome . On Wednesday , working on Noel 's research committee really made me eel a lot better , because I felt like I was capable of working on a research project . Everyone on it was incredibly nice and I spent the rest of the day socializing with my cohort . Then we headed over to the LGBTQ Center for a get - to - know - you picnic and I met some other cool people . Plus , one of the RA 's fromt he project and I became good friends there . So on Thursday , I spoke to Noel about being late to the future meetings because of class , and he also asked me how the job search was going and he took down the names of the people who were hiring .
