On the road again

Well, it's official. I am China-bound! In just a little more than two months I will be writing to you from halfway across the world. This page is where I plan to write my updates, post pictures, tell anecdotes, and in general describe my experiences in China (which I'm sure are going to be fantastic). Not too long ago, I learned that I would be studying abroad this coming semester with the USAC program in Chengdu, China. It involves an intensive language program -- right up my alley. Plus the electives are just what I'm looking for. A real Chinese cooking class, Tai Chi, and Chinese calligraphy. Could life get any better? Almost. But that won't come until after I'm done with my program and start gallivanting around Asia. For now, I'll leave it at this. But once I leave in January, make sure to check back often to hear about my life abroad. Until then, your wayward traveler says, Zai jian! (That is, "goodbye" in Mandarin)
