All The Feels

HOLY CRAP ON A CRACKER!!

So today, I woke up, went and got some breakfast, went to class, handed in a paper, checked my email... BAM!! EMAIL FROM UCR!!!
It was my official acceptance to the university for exchange.
I KNOW!
You see, you get accepted by Glendon into the exchange program, but then the university must review your application and then accept you themselves to allow you entrance into the university.
It was only a few pages attached to the email, reviewing info about my address, email, things like this.
And then the holy grail of information: DATES!
As of now, it is only FOUR LITTLE MONTHS until I'll be headed to Europe. I know that may seem like a lot, in the past I would say its a lot of time, but when you think about what the countdown is to, its actually extremely short.

I have been in contact with Julie Watson, a fellow Glendonite who attended UCR for a year in the past. She has been SO helpful, giving me information about things I wouldn't normally have thought about. Things such as the importance of rain boots, the inability to comprehend the amount of bicycles until you actually get there and see it.  From the perspective of a 20  year old female Canadian who has never been to Europe, any information I can get is good information.
I feel like the more I'm learning, the better prepared I will be.

Even just knowing that school starts in August (INTRO WEEK STARTS AUGUST 18TH!!! AHHH!!) and Ends on May 13th makes me feel more grounded in the year to come. I know the days. I'm not totally lost in the adventure that is Netherland-ian education.

How am I feeling?
ALL the feels.
And I guess that's a good thing, since I'll be there soon.
