After a long and stressful progression I’m finally not too far away from
my amazing adventure. I was going to start this blog a lot earlier, at the
beginning of the whole application process, but I’d have bored you with
whinging and moaning and would have probably managed to put anyone off ever
considering to apply for study abroad. However I chose to start from here, the
18th of June, exactly a month before I fly (all on my own, for the very first
time, to the other side of the world- eek).
So, I’m 19, studying English Language and Media at Oxford Brookes, and
am originally from Teesside in the North East of England. I had my heart set on
doing study abroad as soon as I knew it was an option- I even chose my uni
based on the fact they offered it. I knew I wanted to go somewhere where English
is the native language- so assumed America was my best option; but once my
parents had visited Australia they swayed me to try it for myself. And so I find
myself looking forward to a lovely warm semester in Brisbane.
This blog is for friends and family: to keep up to date, comment and
chat, (and so my mum can see what I’m doing so she won’t worry- as much); for
strangers: to explore Australia through my eyes, reminisce of their visits/
study abroad experiences, or help make an informed decision about study abroad
in the future; and for me: as a souvenir, a project, and a way of expressing my
thoughts. I hope you all enjoy my frequent updates as much as (I hope) I’ll
enjoy experiencing it all for myself.
