Where to start?

Today is the day! Today is my first adventure of the summer. My first adventure as a college graduate. My first big adventure actually! This is the first time that I will be traveling abroad and I am beyond excited. I have been given the amazing opportunity to study abroad in Puebla, Mexico for 5 weeks this summer. During my time in Puebla I will be taking Spanish health classes, participating in hospital rotations, and exploring the sights that Mexico has to offer. I figured I would post to my blog before I left to get into the habit of actually writing my thoughts down. I have been preparing for this trip on and off for the last week-ish. Between work and spending time with friends and family, I have been packing and making sure that I have everything I need for my time in Mexico.

The program that I am participating in is a faculty led program put on by the University of Arkansas and the faculty in charge of this program have been very helpful in making sure we are ready and have all that we need when we travel abroad. They have given us plenty of checklists to go over and lists of things to bring, so that is what I have been using to pack for my trip. I'd say the hardest thing I've had to do so far for this trip is decide what clothes I am going to bring.

As far as this blog goes, I hope to use it to document my time and experiences in Mexico, as well as let my friends and family know what I am doing. I can't wait for all the adventures that I will have in Puebla! Let the Journey begin!
