Perfectly said!

So I've been planning on writing a little list 

of all the reasons why traveling is an awesome thing, for awhile.

But Jenni, from

  (a blog I like to read)

guest posted today and  pretty much took the words right outta my mouth!

So you should go and read 

this!

Well said, my friend...well said.

Good News!

So, a lot of good things have been happening lately! 

First of all, my classes this semester are OVER! 

Only 2 finals to go until I can relax and breathe easy again. 

That is, until school starts again in January...

But this semester has been great, 

definitely one of the best so far. 

Here's the good news:

I'm going HERE!

I'm doing a little Summer Study Abroad

with a group from my university.

We'll be doing 3 weeks of classes on campus

and 5 weeks of traveling. 

I'll be getting 9 credits for classes I would

normally have to take sitting in a desk.

Other good news, I got a scholarship

to help pay for this 

little adventure!

I'm so excited.

So there's this addiction I have...it's this little (expensive) thing called t r a v e l i n g. It started in 8th grade when we had a study abroad presentation in one of my classes. I sat there amazed by all the incredible pictures of other countries and thought to myself, I will do that someday. And I did. Last year I went to school in Salamanca, Spain for 3 months and it was the most exciting/wonderful thing I've ever done. There is something so interesting to me about other languages and cultures. I want to see it all, experience it all. It's been about a year since I left for Spain and I'm feeling that urge again, to go, go, go. Not because I don't like or appreciate where I live, because I do. I believe traveling is the best way to appreciate what you have. It's the best way to open your eyes to the world and begin to understand it better. I want to plan something for this summer, now the only question is, where next?!
