Here we go...

So, I thought it'd be a good idea to start up my lovely chronicle of my next year of chaos abroad. Just as an update, I'm flying out of O'Hare this Thursday for Paris, where I'll be spending a week. Then, I'll be flying on the 22nd for Amman, and my program starts the 23rd.

Right now, I'm just trying to figure out how I fit my life into one 40 pound bag and a small carry-on... We'll see how that works out. The room is a mess, and there is way too much to organize.

'll be starting Skype up in a few weeks, but I'm working one step at a time. I'm just so so so ready to go after this ridiculously long and tedious summer, but I'm sure I'll miss horseshoes, Sonic and all the fun of Northwestern.

As of right now, I'm tenatively planning on flying back into the States on December 19th, but it really depends on money, travel options and a few other X-factors. If I do, hopefully, I'll be spending a couple weeks in Springfield as well as a couple weeks at NU.
