As I finish up my last final tomorrow, I am also prepping for my Dental Admissions Test in a few days. Needless to say, I haven\u2019t had a great deal of time to think about the trip coming up. Next Wednesday, my friend and I will be flying to Rome a few days ahead of our group to check out some of the sights that Rome has to offer. After that, we will be meeting with about 30 other people to start our Grand Tour of Western Europe\u2019s most important art, gardens, and historic sites. I am so excited to get see some of the many different sites that I have learned about through literature, television, and studying the classics. I\u2019ve always found beauty in gardens, but never actually learned about them in a structured lecture, so I am excited about learning a lot of new things from Dr. Smalley and Dr. van Iersel.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m also very apprehensive about what is to come. I\u2019ve never flown or been so far from home, so I\u2019m interested to see if I\u2019ll even be able to sleep on the flight over. Also, I\u2019m excited to meet lots of new people. The last trip I went on with CAES resulted in immediate friendships, so I hope that this one turns out to be the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
