The Beginning

As this is my first post of what should be many on this blog, I should introduce myself. My name is August and I am five days away from beginning the journey of a lifetime. On August 9, I will be saying my goodbyes to my family and boarding a plane to get to the Netherlands and more specifically, a small town in Noord Braband called Deurne. This blog will function as a way for me to share pictures, stories and memories of my exchange year and to try to keep in touch with everyone back in America, so feel free to comment and ask questions.

So far, I have had two going away parties where I have said many goodbyes so far, but there are so many left to say. The packing has started as well as the scrambling to get everything done before I leave and it hasn't set in yet that I am leaving so soon. While all of my classmates going to school here in America are worrying about who will be in there classes, but that is not possible for me, I'm just excited for the adventure and the friendships and even the struggles. 

More posts will come in the future with more memories and pictures, and less background info.
