Up up and away in less than 30 days!

School is over in 2 days...which means my trip is only getting closer! 
So since I don't have anything fun to write about yet, here's just a list of 10 things that have to do with the trip:

1. I'll be at Columbia University in New York for 3 days for the PDO!! (Pre departure orientation)

2. The plane ride from NY to Seoul is approximately 18+ hours...I'm not exactly sure since it is around 18 hours from Chicago to Seoul so...

3. Incase you didn't read #2, I'll be in Seoul, which is the 2nd largest metropolitan area by population in the world and the 3rd largest urban area by population in the world...so yeah. Seoul (22,525,000) > Indianapolis (829,718) and just for a comparison- Chicago = 2,695,598 and New York City = 8,175,133...

4. I won't be in Indy for 50 (fiddy haha) days of summer
5. I'll be studying at Sogang University (서강대학교) ~ Super excited!

6. I don't know about my host family yet...hopefully I'll get that soon!

7. I'll be getting back the day before school starts...culture shock anyone?

8. Um...I'm supposed to be getting a pre-program language departure test before the 10th and they haven't contacted me back yet...problem?

9. Don't ask me to write a whole blog entry in Korean because a) You most likely will not be able to read it and b) I most likely will not be able to write it and c) Refer back to "b" and d) This keyboard is not very nice...

10. Hopefully I will find myself some computer access since I won't be able to to take my laptop (Sogang/Net Cafe anyone?) so that I can maintain this blog, upload pictures, do some vlogging (I need to set up an account first...), the whole shabang. 

Well...that's all for now.
