"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain

Semester at Sea was only a dream away.

My plane leaves for Halifax in 29 days and 8 hours, and I can't wait! I've been waiting to do this for so many years that it's kind of unrealistic that the time is actually coming. I used to count down the years, then the months, and now I'm counting down the days. I don't really know what else to type, except for that if you have a dream, go after it. No matter how unrealistic it is, expensive it is, far away it is, or impossible it seems, if you work your ass off you can achieve it. Thank you so much to my friends and family who have supported me so much and have helped make this truely a dream come true. I want to especially thank my mom, dad, step mom, and step dad. I love you guys so much, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity of a lifetime!


That's all for now :)
