Leaving on a jet plane...

As I sit among my piles of clothes and semi-packed suitcase, I still can't believe that this is all happening. In a matter of hours, I will get in car, which will take me to a bus, which will take me to a plane, which will take me to another plane, which will take me to Vietnam. This has always seemed like a distant future plan, but it is officially here! Now I just have to pack. Hopefully I don't forget anything!

It's the final countdown!

Time is ticking down, and there is still so much to do! I can't even believe these past three weeks have gone by so quickly. Now it's just time to get everything ready to go. At least I know I won't have to pack much; I'm going to buy so much there! Yahoo for shopping!
But while I was looking up somethings about my trip, I found out that we will be in China over a holiday called the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival. Here's a link to a tourism page explaining it. http://www.travelchinaguide.com/essential/holidays/dragon-boat.htm I'm so excited that I will be able to witness it!

Information Overload

Note to self: There's a reason why the curriculum of classes is meant to be spread over the course of 15 weeks. In the past week and a half, I have absorbed so much information, I've got a brain-ache. But I'm almost halfway done! And the sooner the classes get done, the sooner I get to leave! Plus these crazy class schedules are bringing the group much closer together.
I have really enjoyed seeing the difference between my two study abroads so far. They are drastically different in organization and purpose, but both have been so great. I love the international opportunities available to me through USU!
