Just a test post :)

Yep, you read it. 48 Days until I depart!

Tonight I attended my final pre-departure orientation session and am now officially good to go.

  • Flights are booked.

  • Visa/Passport is in hand.

  • Classes are selected and approved.

  • All that stands between me and the semester of a lifetime is time itself. And finals, of course.

I am all excitement for this adventure! However, the nerves have started coming. But I'm ready. I've spent this semester preparing, and I think I can make it! I mean, I'm almost through three months without going home (yay Thanksgiving!). What's another month and a half??

Enough for now. More processing to come later.

Thanks for all the prayers and support!

~Emma
