Preparations

     I am so excited to be able to go to Japan. As I count down the days and prepare for what is to come, I have double checked everything to make sure I haven’t forgotten anything important. Another thing I am proud about is I was able to find a plane ticket to where I am going in Japan for under $750 dollars. This is something to take note of because I have seen other tickets going for as much as $900 to over $1000 dollars. Something that I was very happy to have been able to do, before I left, was I was able to talk to some students from AUE who came to Ball State. As each day progresses ever so closer to the day I leave, my excitement about getting to study abroad in Japan keeps growing. All I can do for now, since I have all of my things packed and ready to go, is to try to patiently wait and look forward to the fun adventures waiting for me.
