So here I am, writing my first post about all of my thoughts before I leave. As of now, it is 1:15 am, and I am sitting in my bed slowly losing my head to the pressures of sleep. I will try to keep it brief and concise before my laptop falls to the floor. I am unequivocally thrilled for this trip, though at the same time, extremely nervous. I'm not too sure how well I will get along with the other 30 or so members of my program (if all goes according to plan, than I should have 30 more friends by the end of next week). What worries me more is that I will be cut off from my family and friends for a total of 6 months. Not that I won't stay in contact, but I will be missing the face to face communication with everyone that I have thoroughly gotten to know throughout my life. I am literally starting from scratch; I will not know anyone. At least coming to college, I could say I knew a few people, and family was only a short plane ride away. But in Australia, I will be completely independent, for money, for food, and for social activities. For those of you that don't know, I will tell you a little bit about my program. I am going to a smaller city (around 300,000 residents, so not quite as large as Sydney or Melbourne) called Newcastle, and I am going with a program that is not affiliated with UCSD, a program called Globalinks. They group people from around the United States and fly them off on the same plane to the same University, while doing a few amazing things in addition, like creating an entirely separate country orientation. They've worked with me throughout the planning process and I never would have expected that preparing to study abroad would be that easy. I will talk further on the program later, once I see how everything works out, including their Bridging Cultures Orientation. Anyways, I said that I was going to make this a short post and it's already pretty long. Congratulations on making it this far in my first post and not strangling yourself. If your still interested, I will be detailing the events of my trip, as well as posting pictures and videos to this blog. It also provides me a way to mess with HTML code, which, being a computer science major, will prove to be useful. Thanks for reading. I'm off to bed.
