Before I leave....

Hey everyone, as most of you know, i'll be spending the semester in New Zealand! I'm overly excited, anxious, and nervous now that i'm about three weeks away from leaving! I think I have great expectations, but at same time I have no idea what to expect! I'm doing this blog as a way to keep all of you updated with my life, remember all my experiences and adventures, and also because UW-L is really cool and giving me money for doing it :) This past semester has been a whirlwind for me, and I'm more than ready to take a step forward to see what life is like as an outsider of the U.S. I'll try to keep my posts fairly short and entertaining so you'll actually read them! If you're reading these, i'm assuming you're a close friend who cares, so I hope we keep in touch and let me know what's going on in your life too!! I'll miss you all and MUCH LOVE!!! :)
