On January 20, 2011, I will be flying out to start my semester abroad in Cyprus!
When I first found out the news on October 14, 2010 that I had been accepted to the University of Nicosia in Cyprus, I was overcome with excitement. I was with one of my best friends, Abby, who was jumping up and down with me sharing all the emotions I was feeling. Since then, I have been preparing for my journey and trying to get everything together for this incredible experience. However, there is still a lot to do! While my computer has been having a ton of issues for the past few weeks and the nervousness and reality of the whole thing is in full force, I still cannot contain my excitement!
The island is about the same size as my home state of Connecticut and is 7 hours ahead. It has a tremendous history between the Greeks and the Turks which makes it really interesting for an Anthropology major like myself.
I have wanted to study abroad ever since I was a child. There is something about traveling that has captured me and I can’t wait to start this journey. I have never felt more ready to go out and explore what the world has to offer and studying in Cyprus will deffinitely give me that.
While I am extremely nervous for what I am about to experience, I know that this will be a life changing opportunity and I cannot wait to emmerse myself and dive in.
And so, my journey in Cyprus begins.
