I'm Back!

    Most sincere apologies to all of my followers (which at this point is kinda zero) for my absence. It has been quite a busy summer. So I guess its update time. As for the scholarship, all of my worrying was unnecessary. I got it and just returned  from the orientation in DC. I'm crazy excited about all the opportunities (and cash...duh) that come with the scholarship. So now that I know I have the scholarship I can stop worrying about that stuff and focus on getting super excited about my study abroad.
     My original plan was to go to a London pre-sessional in London before I went to Swansea. Unfortunately this got cancelled and the pre-sessional is being held at Swansea. This was disappointing but came with an interesting trade off, the Swansea pre-sessional starts 4 days later than the London program (which is 4 days after my plane arrives). I am definitely a little nervous about spending 4 days in another country alone, but I found a pretty sweet way to occupy myself.
     I will be spending 3 days hiking the South West Coast Path. This is a path on the South West Coast of England (In case you didn't pick that up from the terribly creative name). It runs right along the cliffs of the coastline and each of the segments that I am doing are between 10 and 12 miles with around 2,500 ft of elevation change. If the scenery is half as beautiful as the pictures then it's sure to be breath taking.
   I will be hiking but I won't exactly be ruffing it. Each leg begins and ends in a different small town. I will just hike from one B&B to another. I'm just hoping that I'll like a real English breakfast.
