Starting off Right

Ok, so I guess this is my first blog, kind of cool I have to admit. The goal of my blog is basically to keep track of the time I spend while studying abroad in Luxembourg this upcoming fall. I will be leaving the states at the end of August, and will not return until the middle of December, and I thought this would be an excellent way to keep my friends and family informed while I'm away.

Right now, I'm spending my last two weeks in Oxford, Ohio. We've got one week of classes left, and then finals, so it's a rather busy time of year, but I'm trying to enjoy it as much as possible, since I will not be back for such a long time. I'm definitely going to miss this place; the people are wonderful here. I've made so many friends and I know it's going to be difficult without them. I feel like I have a home here at Miami, and there are so many people here I consider my family. But alas, I will be setting out on this adventure without them, and it saddens me to a point. It is however, something that I feel compelled to do, something that will make me a better, and more knowledgeable person upon my return.

I'll probably try to blog more about my Introduction to Study Abroad class later, but it's late, and I must be off to sleep. We'll see how this goes, and I hope it's as enjoyable to read as I know it will be to write. Thanks.
