Now less than a week away!

I am exactly 6 days away from my adventure beginning! I am sooo excited! I have had bits of anxiety creep up here and there, but I feel that as soon as I am organized with my packing, I will feel a huge sense of relief. I have to just keep reminding myself that Austria is an industrialized country, so if I forget anything, I will be able to buy it there. :)

This is going to be an extremely busy week for me. I am in Wausau today and tomorrow, then heading to Eau Claire on Thursday. Friday and Saturday during the day I will be up in Minnesota visiting my Dad and then returning Saturday night. Then on Sunday, I have laundry and packing to do. Then Monday, Mom, Mark, and I leave for Chicago around 9am. Whew...makes me winded just thinking about it!

That's all for now! My next post will probably be from Europe!!!!! Bis dann! (Until then!)

Less Than a Month Away

(A picture of Graz -- where I'll be going to school.)

I am exactly 27 days away from my trip to Austria. I will be flying out Feb 1st from Chicago, connecting in Munich, and arriving in Graz about 10 hours later. I will be there for 5 months (returning July 6th).

I can't even describe how excited I am. At this point, I have felt no nervousness. Over the course of the semester, I will be blogging on here to let everyone know how I'm doing, what I'm doing, and posting pictures of my trip. This is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
