I think I’m in a state of shock. The idea of studying abroad, for me, has always been something in the far off distance – almost as far away as graduating from college, or getting a job in the real world. It’s been a light – a beacon of hope – a reason to stay up that extra hour studying or revise yet another paper when I really, really just wanted to go to bed. It’s been something to work towards, dream about. Being the first person in my immediate family to get my passport the summer after my senior year of college was the first step, my first little triumph. The excitement wore off when I realized how long I would have to wait to actually use it! But now the day is nearly here – I have been accepted into the program and met the other participants. It’s just now starting to feel (a little bit more) real. I’m excited to get to know everyone better and learn more about what to expect as we prepare to embark upon a most wonderful adventure!!
