Before I leave the land of accessible (and free!) internet, I decided to join the pack and set up an account here for travel and the occassional adventure updates -- all while my ever-responsible self has abandoned my empty suitcases to pack themselves. While I've ventured across The Pond before, I haven't done so alone and I haven't done so with so very few details. Tomorrow, I'll leave for Copenhagen, Denmark with Simone as my travel buddy. I'll then be on my own to continue to Lund, Sweden to pick up my keys for an apartment in a city approximately 50 minutes north, in Helsingborg. My nerves a-flutterin' after exclusively shady and inconsistent emailing from my first Swedish advisor and no contact at all from my current advisor in Helsingborg. But!!! I've decided to stick with my typical life-plan, which is that all will work out. Hopefully through the kindness and street-smarts of strangers.
I'm the only UNC student in the program this year, bringing the grand total of Swedish-bound Tar Heels in Carolina history somewhere near a whopping half dozen. A wise Texan's parting advice to me, was to remember that the rest of this year, at the very least, will undoubtedly leave me with a great bunch of bizarre stories to tell -- so off I go.
P.S. - Excellence points for catching the song reference.
