Hello All!
So, I've gone and made myself this fancy little blog to pretty much get everything out there while I'm abroad. So what's the first thing I should post about? The answer is clearly about everything I'm thinking and feeling about this trip up to this point because I don't think I've ever had this many emotions at once in my entire life. First of all, I am BEYOND excited. That's really an understatement. I'm about to embark on the biggest adventure of my life and I could not have asked for this to come at a better time in my life. I just feel like I'm in a place where I can really enjoy, appreciate, learn, and absorb all that Europe has to offer me. But at the same time, I'm absolutely terrified. Which is also hard to explain because I keep trying to look at all of my fears as opportunities at the same time. For example, I don't know anybody that I'll be traveling with, but that's just a chance to meet a LOT of new, awesome, fun people. I think my real fears are coming from the small details--what if I miss the shuttle to the hotel when I get there? Or, what if I can't find my classes on the first day? It's weird, but it's the small things that are making me the most nervous about the whole thing.
There's just so many things running through my head. I'm sure as it gets closer, this will all just intensify, but I can't wait for that. I guess what I'm most excited about is the sense of empowerment I'll have from studying abroad. After going to a foreign country for four months by myself, I feel as though I will be able to do anything, and that's pretty awesome.
September 8th just can't get here fast enough. 21 days and counting :)
