Counting Down

Rambo in my suitcase
Sawatdee ka! I am counting down the days until I depart for Chiang Mai... twelve to be exact! Packing has turned into an overwhelming process so I just had some help getting it started! I have to make sure my luggage meets requirements for all three airlines I will be flying on.

I am looking forward to living and attending school in Thailand so I can learn about an entirely different culture first hand. I hope to meet many great people and become more in touch with myself in the process. I will be taking four classes through Payap University and one online through Fairleigh Dickinson. I will also be writing a field research paper throughout the semester for Lexia which is the program I applied through. Through Payap I will be taking Thai Studies, Thai Language, Arts of Southeast Asia, and Intercultural Understanding and through FDU I will be taking Professional Communication. Through this blog I hope to update you on what is going on throughout my trip. I will post many pictures and hope to hear from you all!

Love,
Ashley
