Gettin' Started

So, I have never done this blogging thing so I am setting up my profile as I watch A Knights Tale in my lovely Worcester apartment.

I am setting up this blog to stay in touch with everyone in the states as I travel to Scotland for my study abroad program at Stirling University! I'll head across the pond at the end of August/beginning of September with the whole Carey clan in tow to explore the continent and then be left all by my lonesome to start my studies.

In Stirling, they begin teaching on September 15th and I get a midterm break October 25th - 29th. Classes end on November 30th and then I will hang around for finals. You can check out the schedule here under Autumn 2010/2011: http://www.aro.stir.ac.uk/sessions/sessions-home.php

I am pretty thrilled to have this opportunity and can't wait to get over there! I will spend the summer planning out some places I would like to travel and preparing for departure while trying to earn enough money to support my big travel plans!

I know none of this was really exciting but it's a start! Maybe by the time I get over there, I will have mastered this whole blogging thing (since technology and I are such good friends!)
