It's kind of funny that this was the first thing I thought of to be the title because I used this as part of my senior quote back in high school. The reason why I used this quote then was because we were leaving a safe (for the most part, anyways) community and entering into a new part of our lives.
Fast forward a few years and I'm using it again, but this time for a different kind of adventure! After a long, arduous process (which, to be fair, was enjoyable at times) I've been officially accepted to go on exchange! Yessiree, you read right, your girl is leaving Canada next semester and travelling to an exotic land known as: the Netherlands. The land of tulips, windmills, and cheese.
As a part of SFU's Exchange Program, I will be spending my Spring semester (from January to July) in a city called Maastricht where I will be attending Maastricht University (UM) and taking courses from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASoS)!
During this whole process, I had some idea of how I'd wanna announce this (which sounds so pretentious and is the reason why I'm posting on this random blog) because I was super excited. But, when I got the e-mail from UM saying I had been accepted, all of the ideas sounded stupid (including the whole "I'll blog about it!" but here I am). While going on exchange IS exciting, I don't think it merits a whole Facebook post about it, at least not for me. Honestly, I was really close to posting, "lol got into exchange" but decided to take a different route.
By using this blog to post about it, anyone who's interested can see it and anyone who doesn't care doesn't have to! Look at the blog, don't look at the blog. Check insta, don't check insta (not that I post much on there anyways). By posting on here, it means I don't feel like I'm forcing people to see it. I LIKE OPTIONS AND NO PRESSURE.
SO NOW THAT THE PREAMBLE IS DONE (that was one heck of a preamble, I'm sorry), what am I thinking of posting on here when I'm outta the country??
WELL. Excellent question to which I have BARELY an answer for, sorry.
Everything is free game. Since school is still in session, I probably won't be posting on here much until next year, but I'm hoping to do a few posts on what the exchange application process was like, rants about how the heck I'm gonna pack for three different seasons, and things like that.
That's it.
Okay bye.
