It's official

I haven't posted here in agesss, so here's an update on the major things happening in my life. I'm going to the US next Spring, it's official. Air tickets have been bought. I'm flying off in December, on the 25th with my family. We'll be arriving in LA, then spending about a week in california. After that, my family is flying back and I'm heading on to the university of florida. I'm planning to take some cool general ed-type courses (the kind they don't have in schools here, e.g. anthropology), so I'm sure that'll be fun! My advisor also managed to rig me up with lots of amazing research opportunities there so I am super excited. Academics aside, I'm definitely planning to travel a bit, e.g., various cities in florida, surrounding islands, mexico (?), northeastern states.

That said, I'll probably be starting a blog to keep you updated on my life in the US. So remember to ask me about it! I promise to keep it interesting :)

p.s. I am blogging in class now as a group presents. My group presented earlier this morning. I'm still surprised we managed to wing it without any group meetings, and with 2 completely MIA groupmates (we suspect one of them died because he did not respond to any emails, meet any deadlines, and best - he didn't even turn up today).
