Getting Ready

I only have a few more weeks left in Ft. Worth before I embark on the experience of a lifetime.  This semester I am study abroad in Melbourne, Australia and I could not be more excited.  I can not wait for all of the memories that I will make and the lasting friends I will meet.  One of my passions in life is traveling and I am so grateful I get to experience this at a young age.  My goal is a travel to as many countries as possible so hopefully during my study abroad trip to Australia I will also get to see New Zealand.  I am wrapping up all of my last minute errands so I have everything I need for this trip.  There are numerous lists I have made and completed but I still have many more errands to run.  I have gotten new glasses and a swimsuit as well as many other items.


I have had many requests on what to bring back from Australia.  I already have two baby kangaroos down and some Ugg boots, so I will be sure and get those things for the people who requested them. Don't worry I am bringing an extra suitcase just for gifts so keep the requests coming.  



I deliberated a long time about what would be the right decision for me for this coming semester.  Between some sort of Panhellenic or Alpha Delta Pi office or studying abroad.  I finally listened to the gut feeling inside of me and figured out what I wanted and that was to study abroad.  I have been planning this trip for over a year now and I could not have made a better decision.  Oklahoma State is trying to have everyone who attends the university at some point study abroad.  Many people always talk about it but never actually follow though.  I am just glad I finally made that decision because it will be an experience that will impact me for the rest of my life.  I have so excited for what is to come and stay tuned for more entries about my experience down under.  Good day mate!!!
