So what's this blog all about?

I am a University of Florida student going to study abroad in Osaka, Japan at the end of this summer for the 2011-2012 academic year! Yeah!~

I am one of 11 UF students going to study at Kansai Gaidai University in Hirakata city.  I fly out of the country in late August, and I can't wait!! XD

Thus, this a blog to document my time from the pre-departure -adventure activities and processes to and through the end of my adventure.  I want to promote studying abroad in general as well because I know this is about to be the experience of a lifetime for me.  Hopefully, as you, my readers, follow me on this super amazing journey, you'll want to study abroad to (or if you're not in school anymore, just go and visit other countries).
Note:  My other posts will include videos and pictures~

If you have any questions, feel free to leave one in the comments or shoot me an e-mail.  For now I will just provide some informational links below.  :)
