I cannot believe my computer is in San Diego being repaired right now when it should be at home with me and gearing up for Brazil!! Ah! I really hate being laptop-less--I feel so helpless. Oh well--this is probably a good thing that I am not on my laptop so much! I just hope that I receive my laptop before school starts in Brazil. My first day of classes is August 3rd. I have orientation starting July 30th. I leave July 23rd.
Everything.is.happening.so.so.sooo.FAST!!!
There's so many things to remember...I keep on reminding myself that I need to get myself one of those awesome Moleskin notebooks so I can write notes, to-do lists, telephone numbers, addresses, quotes and Portuguese things so that I have access to all this information. Ah!
How do I pack? Where do I start? In theory, I should already be packing, but I'm such a last minute person...and I still need to get stuff for Brazil. How is this even possible that I'm leaving in 4 days?
I've been dreaming about my study abroad experience since high school. Ever since I had my first dosage of it in Costa Rica, I knew that I would be studying abroad again in college...and here I am--about to embark on it. Granted, I thought I would be studying in a Spanish-speaking country, but really who can ever predict where a life path leads you to.

- What makes life so interesting are the risks you take and the people you meet. I've lived the majority of my life fearing the consequences of risks. Well, that's what the twenties are for! I am going to write about my trials and tribulations of being a twentysomething year old in this big world, trying to figure it all out. It's going to be a topsy turvy ride, but that's what being in your twenties is all about.
Ohh dear girl =/ yeah, laptops are essential. It’s weird that you don’t really realize how much you need something until it’s gone…just think tho, when you get it back you *theoretically* shouldn’t have any problems with it at all while you’re abroad =D
ReplyDeleteWhat are you planning to do before orientation?
Haha moleskins are so expensive!!! I had to buy them for our cuaderno course in chile (I got one for jay too), and two notebooks were $40!!! Craziness…
Haha I know, packing is just blehhh. I have to do that too. I’m sharing my room with my sister Emily, and I never fully *unpacked* from Midd, so her room’s been a mess all summer long, and she’s just waiting for me to up and leave for chile so she can have her room back =P
These next few days will fly by so fast. I’m so excited for you!!! Take lots of pictures and email them to us so we can see how you’re living, kk?
I hope you get your laptop back soon. Let's please talk soon. :/
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lauren. Take lots and lots of pictures!
Yeah I bought a moleskin notebook today (the mini one) for $10. I'm just going to keep addresses and contact info as well as to-do lists, quotes and whatnot!
ReplyDeleteAnd of course I will document my trip :)
