Twelve Days and Counting

Finals are over, finally, and for the first time in almost a year, I can focus completely on preparing for this summer. Its unbelievable to think that this time a year ago participating in the Oxford Program was just an idea. I've shopped, packed, shopped some more, packed some more, and still I feel completely unprepared for what I'm about to experience.

I will be participating in the Oxford Program offered by the Georgia Tech Office of International Education. We will be leaving May 22, 2008 for Paris, France, and spend the next 4 weeks traveling to Florence, Rome, Venice, Budapest, Prague, Berlin, and Brussels. From Brussels we head to Oxford for 6 weeks where we will stay at Worcester College taking 6 hours of class 4 days a week.

I will be keeping a journal throughout the trip, but I will also be keeping this blog to document everything. Apodemeo is a Greek word that means to go away into foreign parts, or to go abroad. I am not very gifted at writing, so you will have to look past past the poor form and inevitable grammatical errors. No idea on how often I will be able to update, but I plan to keep a pretty thorough account of everything that happens. Enjoy!
