New Zealand, Here I Come!!

Hey there everyone! I'm a student from Regis University in Denver, but I was born and raised in Wisconsin. And now I'll be spending the year in New Zealand at the University of Otago! So here are my adventures...

Almost There!!

Wow! I can't believe that I will be leaving for New Zealand in less than a month, 26 days to be precise! And there's still so much to do! Including packing!! How on earth will I fit my life into 2 large duffels weighing no more than 50 lbs each, and one carry on? And then still have room to bring back whatever additional stuff I acquire over there during the course of a year? Well thanks to my excellent packing skills (thanks mom!) I will surely find a way! Though I have a feeling it may involve being very selective about what clothes I bring, which means that I will probably have to do laundry more often, which really, if that's the worse thing about going to New Zealand for a year, sign me up! Oh wait... I already am!
But on a more serious note, as much as I am excited about going to New Zealand, and basically having the experience of a lifetime, I am not excited about leaving all my friends, family, and loved ones behind! A year apart from you all will be rough, but thank goodness for skype! This would be the ideal time for me to tell you my skype name, but I cannot for the life of me remember what is, so you're all just gonna have to search my name and find me that way! Also, I have no idea what the time difference is yet, besides being a day ahead, so eventually I will post that stuff as a reference for setting up skype dates.
Well, that's about it. Nothing too exciting, but I'm sure things will pick up the closer I get to leaving, and of course once I'm gone!
