Pre-Departure

I have been so excited for so long that I am going to study abroad in at Uppsala University in Uppsala, Sweden.Tomorrow, the 15 of January, I will embark on my journey. I will land in Stockholm in the early morning of the 16th, go through orientation, and begin classes on Monday the 19th.

I stumbled upon this little gem of a Swedish word that describes perfectly how I feel: 

Resfeber: The restless race of the traveller's heart before the journey begins, when anxiety and anticipation are tangled together; a travel fever that can manifest as an illness 

Hear the pronunciation here: https://www.howtopronounce.com/swedish/resfeber/ 

While I have manager to avoid getting sick in my long pre-departure phase, I am both ready and nervous. This is my first time living abroad and there is so much to learn. It will be a wonderful growing experience. 

That's about all I have for now. I will be writing every day so feel free to
follow the blog and keep up with my adventures as I journey in and in and throughout Sweden.
