    On Saturday morning I went to the pre-departure session for my exchange program. As I sat there listening to Sani (who went to Lund University last fall) talk, I felt like flying to Lund was actually happening sooner than I thought.  Right now it seems like there is still four months time before pre-departure, but as I learned about the things that I get to experience at Lund, including the places I must go, the food I must eat, the people I must interact with, I can't help but realize that no matter how prepared I might seem to be right now for leaving, when the time actually comes, I'll still be in a panic mode as I get to travel abroad by myself for the very first time. No mom, no friends, just on my own with my suitcase and a free spirit.

    I talked to a couple of other exchange students at the pre-departure session, including Amadon who is going to Vienna, and Elijah who is going to Austria.  Its so fascinating learning about other people's dreams and why they are traveling abroad.  Its so amazing being able to learn about other people's experiences and how your experiences can be of interest to others at the same time.  I never thought anything I ever experienced would be worth sharing with others until now. 

    Well, maybe I always knew.  Its just that I haven't fully acknowledged the fact when people in the past have hurt me by not wanting to listen.

    This week I'll be waiting to hear back from a company to see if they will hire me for an HR internship.  I had an interview with them last week but I guess it didn't go as well as I would want it to be?  But nevertheless I'm already glad that I had the opportunity to be interviewed by them and I hope that something good will stem out of it. =]
