9 Days and Counting...

Good Evening :)

So, I leave for Europe in 9 days and HOLY CRAP I'M SO FREAKING EXCITED! I've never been before, and it seems like I've been absolutely craving this.

For those of you that don't know, I'm going on a trip with the People to People Student Ambassador Program to The Netherlands, Belgium, France, England, Wales, and Ireland for 19 days. It's the first time I've ever been out of the country besides Canada which pretty much doesn't even count (especially to the people who consider it America's hat).

The catch: I'm not going with my family.

So that'll be an interesting trip, studded with homesickness and calls home. But I think it'll give me a dose of the independence that I need. Enough so I can come home and blog to my heart's content about it!
And then come home and start looking through my 10 lb. bag of college mail... but let's just keep out minds on Europe, shall we?

On another note, I survived Sophmore year! And I've enjoyed my first week of summer... probably the sweetest reward I could have, and have ever had. This year... it was an experience and with no offense to anybody I've met, I'm glad it's over. It just means I can come back next year to something relatively familiar and comfortable, which I appreciate. Though I know change keeps one vigilant, it's always nice to know what's coming sometimes.

Anywho, I should go to bed now. I gotta practice waking up early like I'll be doing in Europe.

Fact: I've been considering getting a tattoo/getting my nose pierced when I'm older. Don't hate!

  1. Maddie - You're going to have SUCH a wonderful trip...I'm envious! Don't worry about homesickness - you'll be too busy to notice, and surrounded by some great people. Have fun and take lots of pictures to share with the rest of us!
