My acceptance letter

I was sick yesterday so I was feeling really bad this morning. I was awakened from my sleep by a text message telling me I didn’t pay my cell phone bill yesterday. Great, I had to get up and pay it with my computer. While I was online I decided to check my school E-mail.

And there it was. I was so happy when I saw the title “Acceptance Letter from YZU, Taiwan”. I forgot how sick I was and downloaded the letter and read it over and over again. I noticed though that they misspelled my first name. I spell it Jeffrey not Jeffery.  Its been since middle school that I had someone spell my name like that and I couldn’t help but smile at that mistake.  I hope this won’t be a problem when I go get my visa. Another thing I noticed was that school starts the 25 of February I don’t know why I thought it was starting sooner.

My Letter of Acceptance

If I do have any problems I won't be able to talk to my advisor till the 2nd of Janauary. : /. For now, I will go back to sleep and plan my next move when I feel better.  

 

Hello World!!

I have put off creating my blog for way to long. My trip to Taiwan is getting closer and closer every day. The idea of studying abroad was a sweet day dream I could indulge in after a long day of studying and now it is becoming a reality. I feel the excitement, curiosity and “magic” of my upcoming adventure. I also feel fear and uncertainty. My mom says this is natural and that the negative feelings will melt away as soon as I get to Taiwan.

On a more positive note, my study abroad advisor Tom told me a couple of days ago I will receive my acceptance letter next week. That’s great news!! I was getting worried because it was taking so long. My other friends were not only getting their letters but getting their visas approved. Even with my acceptance letter I can’t breathe a sigh of relief yet. I still need to go get my visa, buy a plane ticket, apply for a host family and pack. Though all of these are logistic things that will fall into place soon.
