Great way to start the morning

Woke up this morning with every intention of watching a few shows and then going to class. But, that doesn't seem to be the case. I turned on my TV and my cable box is no longer authorized to provide service, oh joy. I am getting the standard channels so that is a plus, and I am working with the twitter help team to see what is going on. It's just not how I intended to spend my morning.

On the Plus side of everything only a few weeks left in this semester and then my real preparations for studying abroad begin! I am stoked and can't wait to meet everyone who will be over there studying as well. I just don't know how to pack two suitcases to last me an ENTIRE academic year abroad!! It's going to be interesting haha :-)

Well must be off to class.

Long Weekend

This has been an incredibly long weekend. I went through my first Black Friday shopping and working this year. I went out with a few friends to Old Navy and Walmart at Midnight to partake in the great deals. I can't believe people were willing to stand outside in the cold and rain for a video game.. I'm glad we stayed in the car and jammed to some "old" tunes. We got home around two and I had to work at six. I got like no sleep and then there wasn't a huge crowd at Meijer, so my manager did a good job of keeping all of us busy so we wouldn't fall asleep. The weekend is finally over and now I'm working on homework for this week. Oh yeah, I got my official acceptance letter from the study abroad program today!! I am so excited that it is finally official!

Happy Thanksgiving!

One of my favorite holidays is today (Christmas is my favorite by far). I am thankful for my loving friends and family. I wish that I could be with my family in Arkansas visiting everyone and enjoying delicious food and celebrating the last Thanksgiving in the States for a whole year... However I'm in rainy Bowling Green getting ready for work. I did get to spend the morning with a friend of mine and we celebrated with cinnamon rolls and apple juice haha. :-) I foresee, maybe, snagging some leftovers from my roommates dinner before heading to the midnight sale at Old Navy with friends. Gotta love Black Friday!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Here We Go..

In a little over 300 days I'll be leaving for Austria. I'll be there for 9 months studying German and becoming fluent in the language so that I can be the best German Teacher possible. I am so incredibly excited for this time abroad and can't wait to go. I hope that this blog is a great way to stay in touch with friends and family while also helping me remember what all I have experienced. For the time leading up to my departure I'll be writing about what I am up to and preparations I'm taking to studying abroad. 

So let's begin our journey to Salzburg, Austria!
