Well, I'm lucky enough to have this once in a lifetime opportunity to experience the world while studying abroad. I can't think of any other study abroad program that suits me. I can't wait to begin this journey for 3 and a half months of my life to places I never thought I would ever get the chance to visit. It's funny that Semester At Sea was just something I stumbled upon back in March. I was skeptical at first with it being my senior year of college I had a choice of studying abroad which was something I have wanted to do for a long time or to stay at Scranton for my final year. Clearly, as I am writing we all know which of the two I decided. Little did I know that I would be a part of the Fall 2009 voyage, and not to mention the 100th voyage which makes it all the more exciting. Today, I took a flight from Newark Airport in NJ to Halifax, in Canada. Of course as usual Newark was delayed and did not take off on-time. Actually 1 hour later, we were already aboard the plane so sitting for that period of time being anxious wasn't easy. However, it's Newark what else are you suppose to expect. I am exhausted from packing, traveling, shopping, yet I still find some way to be ecstatic about tomorrow; when the journey begins. I seem to find some nervousness coming over me, but I think the excitement is what keeps me going. I've barely slept in the past couple days with long periods of starring at my stuff to pack wondering how I would fit it all. Somehow, someway, it all fit. I'm going to try and keep you all updated on my travels and thanks for all the support. I miss you all already!
