And So It Begins...

Today is the day! I am leaving for 3 and a half months to study abroad in Australia.  This is the most terrifying thing I have ever done in my entire life.  I have so many mixed feelings: happy, sad, nervous, anxious, but most of all EXCITED.

It all started at 5:50am when I could no longer sleep. I packed up the car and got ready to head out to the Philadelphia airport, where the first leg of my trip would take place. My mom, dad, and Aaron drove me to the airport, and a little before 9am I was through security and on my way to this journey I am about to take! 

As I sit here at the gate waiting for my first flight, I am still trying to process everything that is about to happen to me.  I can not possibly wrap my head around the fact that in less than 48 hours I will no longer be in the United States, but that rather I will be "Down Under".  This is by far the most terrifying feeling ever! 

I am writing this blog to account for all the activities and adventures I will take in the next 3 and a half months. I am more than happy to share my experience with anyone who wishes to read this blog, but please know that I will not be updating this blog every day or even every week. 

I hope you all enjoy reading what I have to say and what I have done, and I will see you all again on April 21, 2013!

CHEERS!!!
