So this is my first blog post. I've never really done one before but figured a life changing trip to Europe would be a good time to start.
I just moved back home today from my first apartment in Lawrence and its absolutely blowing my mind that I'm so close to leaving! The first time I heard about this study abroad program and decided that I wanted to do it was probably summer 2007. Its 2 years later and I'm actually getting ready to leave! I have no idea how the time has passed so quickly. But I can't wait to get there and get started!!!!!
So the first part of my trip is Germany which is probably what I'm most anxious for at the moment since its a lot of traveling, probably by myself, in just a month. But I also get to see many friends that I haven't seen in years! And I know that it will be soooo much fun. :D
Then I have to get to Florence on Sept 10 to start my program. Which right now feels like forever away but I know that it will be here before I know it! I'm so excited to be in Florence. When I went to Europe with my family a couple years ago it was probably my favorite city (I think tied with Paris though which is why this program is perfect!). The idea of living there for a while and getting a chance to really know the city like a local is going to just be amazing!
At the end of October we have a 10 day break which hopefully means Greece but who knows what will end up happening cause its Europe and you never know!! But Greece is somewhere I've never been and am definitely dying to go (not just to find myself a hot greek man ;). It just looks so beautiful and picturesque, not to mention how much history and culture are there.
And then off to Paris for the rest of the semester!! Again the main thing that is just exciting me the most is the opportunity to live in Paris and get to be local. I can't wait to do everything and I know that it'll pass me by so fast that I want to try and take it slow and savor it all as much as possible and take a second for granted.
So right now i'm just trying to get everything together in the next 10 days so I'm all set to have an amazing time(which i know i will)!
Hopefully I'll be able to update this often and keep everyone posted on all my fantastic adventures to come :)
