OOOKKKKAAAYYY!
I have had this blog set up for a while now. I saw no point in starting to post stuff because I wasn't really doing much.
This blog is going to be my way to communicate, describe, and talk about my life as I take on studying abroad in Shanghai, China. As of right now I am still at home and tying up loose ends for my trip. (Getting shots, securing my visa, and saving money) I leave in 36 days and I know that those days will fly right on by.
This blog is about ME, as you can already tell I am not much of a writer and my grammar probably needs correcting. I am not one for eloquent words and witty metaphors. I am simply going to write my experiences in a way that will help my family and friends better understand what is going on. Got it? Good. Moving right along...
Since this blog is about me, I feel as though a little introductory and history lesson about me are in order. :)
I am currently a Junior at Texas Tech University studying International Business. I spent the first year out of high school in Germany. I loved it. I am trying to find a way back. Since I have been throughout Europe I figured I should go somewhere that isn't in the norm. Originally when I went into my study abroad adviser's office I was gonna go to Spain... and yet I ended up in Shanghai? It was all my choice of course. I am going with a program called the Alliance for Global Education. They have programs throughout China and India, and they are fabulous.
What else is there to say? I will be taking 9 hours of Chinese and 6 hours of business classes at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. I will have a Chinese roommate, I look forward to meeting her.
As of right now that is all I can really think about saying. I am super excited to go and experience a completely different culture. From the other blogs I have been reading, I can tell that I will love it!
Until next time!
