The Countdown Begins

  Where does the time go?! Just a month ago I was keeping a big secret, now I have 26 days until my departure. Yes, I said departure. I have taken advantage of an opportunity again and decided to study abroad in Scotland. I have had the blessing of traveling abroad before, but this time I am more mature, wiser, and looking to take advantage of what this trip offers. 

  Why Scotland? Why not? Not only is this program affordable, but I get to study and travel while I am there. The WI in Scotland program is not going to tie me down from taking advantage of long weekend get-a-ways to explore the history and culture of foreign countries. This also allows me to finish a minor in communications and almost completely finish my generals and then some.

  What am I looking forward to the most? Obviously I am excited to travel. Who wouldn't be. I am also excited to be able to put myself into someone's culture and learn about their daily lifestyle and how it's different from living in Wisconsin, let alone the United States. I am excited to live in the Dalkeith Palace and share this experience with the other students I will be living with. And of course, the pubs!

  Cheers to a New Year and New Experiences.
