T-Minus 7

Hey to anyone willing to actually read this...

Leaving for New Zealand in just one week! To anyone who doesn't know, I'm studying abroad for my spring semester of '09... at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. My semester there technically finishes June 24th, but who knows when I'll actually be back in the US. I'm going through an American program called AustraLearn, but without anyone else that I know. I've travelled solo like this once before when I went to Israel the summer after graduating high school, and it was such an awesome experience that it made up my mind about having to seize the opportunity to study abroad while in college.

My winter break has become way too long for me, and though I've been working at the coffee shop saving up money, I've been anxious to be doing something rather than hanging out at home. I'm extremely excited to be leaving so soon, and I can't wait to see what my trip has in store for me.
