Today's the day. As I lay here in my bed at home in the midst of cozy, quiet suburban Maryland, I know that the journey ahead of me will be wild, to say the least. I've spent all day packing and months preparing for this. The time has come for me to go to Japan. The moment I step onto that plane, I know it'll finally feel real.

Hey everyone! This is Oonagh, and I'm checking in to make my first post on my experience so far in Quito. This is going to be a watercolor/illustration blog, and I'll be posting a painting/drawing related to what I've been up to every week. I've chosen this medium becuase I've always had a casual interest in art, and this will be a great way to better my artistic skills.
I have been sitting, waiting, wishing this entire summer for my adventure in Rome to finally begin, but now I cannot fathom that I will arrive in Rome tomorrow. All this time that I had to prepare for my semester abroad and yet I somehow find myself doing most things last minute.
Hello everyone! My name is Anna and I will be studying abroad at Oxford University this fall! I am a junior at the University of Rochester majoring in English Literature, and I applied to this abroad program in my pajamas. Over this past winter break, my friends and I all decided we were going abroad.
What’s up world?
My name is Jonathan Thibeaux and I am fifth year student at Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA from Lafayette, LA. This fall, I have the pleasure of serving as one of your student bloggers and cannot wait to share with you my experiences in Shanghai, China. While nervous, I am so excited to begin my journey there and hope to provide you guys with the best sites to visit as well as offer up great information and reflections. Beyond that, I hope to provide you all snapshots into my courses, living situation, and more.
The sun has risen and the reality of my situation is finally starting to settle with me. The morning before a trip always has a certain ethereal sensation about it. The dawn is more hushed, as if the world waits with bated breath to see you off. Lowering the window of our car on the way to LAX, I can almost taste the anticipation in the air.
