I feel way pressured for this to be epic...

AHHH!!!! My first blog post. I am having a slight panic attack that involves these words being posted forever and everyone forming an initial judgment on my life based on these.words. So ya, I would say there is a little bit of pressure for this to be epic, profound, and mildly life changing. But I am just going to put a disclaimer in now....if you are searching for that kind of reading, feel free to leave my blog now and keep searching. 

All right, so lets get started. If your reading this you probably already know way too much about me because I don't think I'm going to share it with the world. Only those lucky enough that I think might actually care about my life. Soo sorry if I over-estimated how much you care:) 

By now your probably wondering why in the world I started a blog as I have shared absolutely nothing worth reading yet....Well I have secretly always wanted to blog, but alas my life really has not been blog-worthy. But since I got the most amazing opportunity in the world, I figured I would give it a go. 

Oh the suspense is killing you now...what "amazing opportunity" is she referring to?? Just kidding....again if your reading this you probably already know. I am going to study abroad in Australia!!! So here are some details.  I will be at Macquarie University, about 30 minutes outside of Sydney.  I will be there from the middle of February to the end of June.  And lucky me, I am backpacking for two weeks in New Zealand before my semester starts.  So this blog will hopefully keep you informed of my craziness abroad...and help me remember what I did while I was there because I have the memory of (insert animal with a very bad memory here).

So in the mean time I am finishing finals, planning my life in another continent, and being a bum. It is noon right now and I am still in my p.j.s. I thought I would document how un-amazing I look at the start of our amazing journey together. so here. for your entertainment and enjoyment...

This was the picture that was to accompany the visual of me being a total bum.

This is what happens when my web cam just keeps snapping photos.

And again....

And yes this is my confused face....which is standard more often than I like to admit.

Welcome to my technology challenged life.

Hopefully the content and pictures on this blog will continue to improve. If not...my deepest apologies.  The next month or two will probably be just pre-travel craziness so if you want to wait till February to check back for the good stuff...I won't hate you:)
