Semester

Well the day has finally come. I am headed to Toulouse, France to complete a three week study abroad program. Right now I am pretty torn. I am very excited about the trip, but I am also very sad about leaving my family when I feel like I just got home for summer. I’m not…

Because of finals, I haven’t had a chance to get excited about this trip until today. I can’t wait to be in France! I studied French in high school and fell in love with the language and culture, so I am so eager to finally experience it firsthand. My parents live in North Carolina, so…

It’s 1 am and I have 17 hours until I leave for France! Well… 17 hours until I leave to London because that is where my first stop is, but that’s besides the point. I have 17 hours until I have officially begin my journey into a foreign country, and I am a combination of…

Bonjour! I am currently sitting at my laptop browsing through websites in a frantic attempt to learn French, trying to think of anything I may have forgotten to pack and intently watching An American in Paris (one of my favorite movies) for the 10th time today trying to observe everything I can about French culture-…

Packing and preparation is proving to be a little bit of a challenge, but my anticipation is building. A trip to Italy is coming just in time to celebrate the end of a difficult semester at UGA.

It’s almost time to leave and there’s still so much to do! Rather than packing I have been pouring through travel books and making lists of all the places I want to see over the course of my exchange. It’s overwhelming to look at what I’ve written down and the number of incredible places I…

I was one of the students who got to stay an extra day in Uruguay! It was so great to hang out in Montevideo and relax. Since I have been back home, I told my dad about the technology that they use to feed the calves and he was very interested! I am so glad…

This place is so pretty! So far the trip has been amazing! My dad is a dairy farmer so I was glad we got to see the dairy farms and the similarities and differences in our farm and their farms here. They had a machine to feed the calves that I had never seen before…
