Sorry I have not posted in a while, but nothing really new has happened with the Study Abroad process other than getting accepted into the USAC program. My last application was submitted yesterday, to the actual University of Oslo, and so I should hear back from them in a couple of weeks.
We are in the midst of finals here at Mount Union and I can't wait for summer to start! I don't know why though... I will be taking Spanish II (bleh) while also trying to learn some Norwegian (we'll so how those two work out together) and working two jobs, trying to save every penny for the hefty Norwegian expenses. It should be a good summer, but verrryyy busy with trying to get everything ready!
Packing for home has made me realize how hard it is going to be to pack my whole life for a semester into two suitcases and a carry on. As of now, I can barely fit all my shoes into one... On top of that, it will be winter, so all of my clothing and shoes will be chunky and warm, but I'll make it work somehow! Maybe I should invest in some of those vacuum bags...
I will be doing some traveling this summer! My family is going to Mexico for a week for my brother's graduation. Also, my best friend (Hi Michelle!) is headed off to Africa in a couple of days! I also learned that one of my close friends from High School is studying abroad in Spain for fall semester, so I think we are planning on meeting up in Paris, or something, while we are both abroad! I feel so grown up right now, even if I haven't done anything yet. Everyone around me seems so worldly, traveling to new and exciting places, and I can't wait to have my own Study Abroad experiences to share!
When I hear back from the University of Oslo (hopefully good news!!!) things will probably get rolling, but I just wanted to update everyone and let them know what was happening!
Wish me luck on the rest of my finals! :$
