52 Days and Counting!!!

So, last November I was accepted for a Study Abroad semester, called Pac Rim. Since then I have been trying not to get too excited and get my homework done, though some days while I was suppose to be studying I spent all day thinking about my upcoming semester. Now that I am 52 days away this homework stuff is getting harder to concentrate on. I have a paper due on Thursday and then 2 more papers a timeline and some Japanese language stuff to learn, before I leave. Oh, I guess I should tell you where I am going... China, Japan, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Australia, and Hawaii. YES!!! all those places in 3 months. I am so excited that I can't handle it any more. School work will get done and I will have an amazing semester. I get to go climb the Great Wall of China, see the Forbidden City, the Terracotta warriors, bungee jump, climb Mount Fuji, see where Lord or the Rings was filmed, Black water raft, surf, see the Great Barrier Reef, I am considering or more likely am going to skydive and so much more. This is going to be a semester of learning through actions not books. I will experience history. I will see what the Monglie army looked at when invading China; Gaze upon the worriers that are to protect China, see where the Massacre of Tiananmen square took place, that will be a sad day. I will see what I never would have thought imaginable 2 years ago. Now 52 days away and I am not wanting to work, or do school work ,just get ready for the trip of a lifetime. I know that if I didn't have something to do right now, than I would probably be driving everyone around me nuts and not wanting me around. So yes, even if I don't want to do what I have to do, I suppose there is a reason for it. So if you want to hear more about my travels you are more than welcome to keep on reading. I am a terrible Blogger but I will do my best to keep it updated so you all will share in my experiences, and find out where you will want to go next.
