So, as of today, I have 43 days until I leave for Ireland! All of my paperwork has been done (I think), and Sydney and I are anxious to leave! I picked out what classes I want to take, but I'll find out when I get there exactly what my schedule will be like. I have also found out where I will be living. Other than that, I'm just getting ready to go!

Ugh, I haven't been on here in forever!! I'm slowly getting through the stacks of paperwork required for studying abroad! Good thing it's not due until October!! I'm still really looking forward to going, and I'm officially going to Germany for Easter Break! I can't wait!
The paperwork I have to do is for Lyon and Queens. They each have to have all of their own stuff filed away. The funny thing is that I sat down to fill out the Queens paperwork and had no idea what it was asking for because it was like in a different language! And then, come to find out I may or may not need a student visa...but I'm going to get one anyways, 'cause I don't want to have to stress out about it. I figured I might like it there and stay for another semester anyways (j/k...I'll come home!).
Well, so I'm just working on boring paperwork and trying to decide what classes I want to take. Over there, they have modules. Typically, students take 3 modules a semester, with each module consisting of approximately 5 US credit hours. So I will be taking 15 hours, but only 3 classes basically. I am trying to take American Politics, Marine Ecology and Irish Literature. I thought those sounded fun. Especially the politics class, since that will be right after the election and all!
I guess I'll try to write on here more often. I've been super busy with Alpha Xi stuff as usual. I'm trying to get a new website up and running. Please go look at it so you can see what we're up to! It's rather blank right now, but it should be full shortly!! Go to lyon.alphaxidelta.org
Love you guys!!

I'M GOING TO IRELAND!!!!
Okay, so this is my first blog!! I found out on Thurs. March 20, 2008 at approximately 9pm that I got accepted into a program to study in Ireland for the Spring 2009 semester!!! I was so excited!!! I have A LOT of planning to do between now and then, not including all the money I need to make!! I have always wanted to study abroad, and now I have the chance of a lifetime and I'm so happy. My best friend Sydney also got accepted but we will be going to different schools. I will be going to school at Queen's University in Belfast, the capital of Ireland, and she will be about an hour train ride away at the University of Ulster. We are so ready to go!!!
