This is my first post for the blog, so I thought I'd start out with a little backstory.
When I first applied for college, I basically knew that I would be spending some time studying abroad at some point. Australia didn't seem like the natural option, yet it was so later when I realized a) that everyone there spoke English, and b) it could continue studying everything I wanted there, even journalism. I did have some moments of doubt, thinking that if I took this semester off it would irrevocably mess up my planning, but, with some support from my brother, who went through a similar study abroad phase, I convinced myself that this was the best thing to do.
So, after meeting with Lori, my study abroad adviser, and filling out what seems to be an endless amount of paperwork, I am going to be studying abroad at the University of Newcastle, in Newcastle, Australia. Well, after a couple weeks of traveling there with my Dad. And after a couple days in San Fransisco. And a couple days here at home. Eventually.
