Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Signed... Sealed... Delivered!

Wow.

I can't believe I'm doing this.

Overwhelmed, anxious, excited, nervous... all some of the emotions I have when I think of my upcoming voyage with Semester at Sea (SAS). I kind of fell into the program randomly. I had been considering study abroad opportunities for awhile, but never really cemented anything. I went to a study-abroad fair, though, and my interest for SAS was re-kindled. I picked up some paperwork, went home and did some research.

After talking to about 30 advisers, reading hours of blogs and literature, and conferring with the powers that be, I decided I may actually be interested in this- going around the world in 108 days, seeing 11 different cultures, and taking some awesome classes in the process. I applied, got in, and the rest is history... well, I guess it's the future at this point.

In 75 days, I board the MV EXPLORER for the adventure of a lifetime. I don't know a soul going (only adding to my anxiety), but I'm truly excited. I've been rushing to get all of my paperwork in (apparently it takes 10 trees worth of forms to circumnavigate earth?), so that I can get everything on time and not miss out on anything.

As always, feel free to chime in and comment or email me!
