I just finished most of my packing for my Costa Rican Maymester (I leave tomorrow, nothing like procrastination!) I’ve never had to pack for a 3 week trip, let alone pack for that much time in under 50 pounds, so it was interesting to say the least. I’m getting so nervous, but overall I’m really excited.…

Bonjour! That’s the only French I know and I seriously doubt it will get me through three weeks in France. Although it is relatively easy to pick up enough phrases to get by, it is much harder to pick up an entire culture in three weeks. I decided to go on this study abroad trip…

Between preparing for Europe and studying for finals, the last few weeks have been a grind and somewhat unnerving. However, I think the stress of finals have prevented me from becoming so anxious about my trip. My biggest concern going into the Toulouse program is my inability to speak any French. Fortunately, CAES orchestrated a…

Growing up in a small town of roughly 6000 people in north Georgia, leaving the country for three weeks to stay in France will be quite an adjustment. I feel that the toughest part of this trip will be the language barrier. In different parts of the US, I have experienced a language barrier due…

So, I am sitting at the airport, and I am tired. I woke up at 3:30 am and drove here, and I’m just tired. However, I am so excited about this trip that I can’t even imagine napping as I wait for departure. My parents are doing seesaw impressions going between “This will be an…

The time is 11:38. I just arrived home from participating in UGA’s Undergraduate Commencement Ceremony and in a little less than 12 hours, will board a plan to embark on my final adventure as an AgDawg. To say that I am excited would be a large understatement. To say that I am nervous would be…

From the very beginning of my time at UGA, I have always dreamed of studying abroad, and in a couple of days that dream will become a reality! I never imagined that I would ever be able to go abroad for a full two weeks, but the College of Agriculture and Environmental Science’s Dean’s Promise…

I have always had a true passion for traveling. I have traveled to 25 states and 12 countries (which will be 13 after this trip). Even in my middle school and early high school years, I knew I wanted to study abroad. I heard about this Romania trip specifically for my major and I couldn’t…

Last summer, I found myself in a small Kansas town as I worked for the American Hereford Association. This summer, I am heading in a direction that is quite the opposite as I jet off to Romania for a Culture-Centered Communication Study Abroad to document the happenings around agricultural philanthropy in communities. My first…

As I comfortably relax back home, kicking my feet up on an ottoman, I reflect on how thankful I am that finals are over. Although I no longer have finals on my mind, I can think of nothing else but the date May 11th. That is the day that I’ll be boarding a plane and…
