Ok so. Some things have changed. I have decided to screw the whole lets start from the beginning and work my way forward. I have realized that the only remotely interesting part of that would be the parts from my study abroad journey to the Czech Republic. So I hoped you enjoyed those, but from now on, I will be writing about things that are happening now in my life and my random adventures. So onward we go....
Ok so even though it is still like a year away I am still super excited! I mean who doesn't want to travel the globe with 700 other college students and possibly some family members! I am worried that Turkey might get changed with the whole terrorist issues that happened yesterday. But like I said it is still a year away! Gah and I am already starting to count down! I am a nerd - especially since I haven't even been accepted yet haha
I leave tomorrow, well technically Saturday for the beach. Dad, Pam, Jenney, Mike, Devin, Mikayla, Ana, Jason, Monica and I are packing up 3 cars and making the pilgrimage to New Smyrna Beach, Florida for the annual Gray family reunion. We are starting our lovely journey 4 o'clock on Saturday morning. Joy. I have decided not to go to sleep. Andrew is playing at the Exit/In on Friday and does not go on until 11:30pm. So Jenna and I will go support him and then I will just head over to Dad's. I think that sounds like a solid plan.
I am beyond ready for the beach! Rob, Bob and I have lots to talk about. I am trying to convince them to go on Semester At Sea with me. That would be AMAZING! I would have entirely too much fun. Plus, mom would get off my back about the pirates that roam the ocean. Yes, I am sailing around the world going to 11 different countries and what does mom worry about? Pirates! Yes, Pirates! haha.
Speaking of Semester At Sea, my itinerary has finally been posted so here it is!
