After years of dreaming to study abroad I am finally taking the plunge! Wow. This time next week I will be laying on the beach in Fiji healing from the terrible jet lag I am sure to face after being in the airports for roughly two days. I started packing yesterday and it will be surprisingly easy to fit everything I'll need into a suitcase (famous last words). Although if anyone has tips for me, they would be greatly appreciated. I've stretched myself with schoolwork and juggling goodbye visits with everyone, now it's my time.
I cannot wait to meet my professors and start my classes. What a refreshing feeling to be excited for classes! I feel like I am back in kindergarten and anxious for the first day. I will be taking Services Marketing which completes my Marketing concentration, Introduction to Indigenous Australia, Public Relations Strategy, and the class I am most enthused about...Newsroom Practice. I'll be in a real newsroom environment, covering stories and working behind the scenes to learn all the ins/outs of broadcast journalism. Can you feel my excitement? :)
My clock is counting down way too quickly for everything that I still have to accomplish. Oh and throw in a quiz and final for Microeconomics...life. One dilemma I am facing is in regards to phones over there. Do Aussies use them for texting like we do? And should I buy a go phone there or exchange sim cards in my phone? Decisions. While in the LAX airport for my 13 hour lay-over I will probably give an update about the adventures I'm already facing. I can't believe it's finally here!
