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.
