9 Days to Go

Wow, there are officially 9 days until I leave for Norway.  Let me just take a breath!  It's been a whirlwind of a summer so far, and I'm sure that will continue throughout my time abroad.  I've been so lucky to have great family and friends joining me for a good time and it will be hard to leave especially knowing that I've never been away from home on my own for longer than 2 weeks before.  That was when I participated in a school trip to France.

But this is my dream to study abroad and experience a whole new world.  I know that I will make many new friends from across the world.  I am so ready to experience new cultures and traditions and see how different people view the world.  At the same time, I want to share myself so that others may understand me and my values.

With 9 days to go, I've starting packing... well piling really.  I have a pile of things that I will be taking with me and to which I keep adding.  I have learned well to minimize in packing, but this is truly testing me!  The biggest debate on my mind: which shoes should I bring?!

Stay tuned,
Danielle
