Settling in :)

It is my 5th day here but it feels like I have been here weeks. My are full of exploring the city, meeting people and doing school activities. this week is introduction week so we are choseing classes and getting settled in before we actually star school the 1st. In the mornings I usually eat some figs from the fig tree outside of the residence and then I just enjoy the last bit of morning coolness before the heat of the day.

I am getting to know some other students and really enjoying my time here, I am also excited for classes to start. I am really excited about the varity of classes offend and the style of teaching which is more discution oriented and class sizes which are 5-17 students. I would write more but I just wrote a whole post that got deleted so I'm kinda ready to get off the computer. but I do have somr photos :)

In Mostar

The morning of the 24th I lugged my suitcase weighing exactly 23 kilos up the boardwalk at my home. After a 35 min flight to Anchorage, a ten hour flight to Frankfurt, a 2 hour flight to Sarajevo and a two hour drive to Mostar, I arrived at my new home. I was insisted to let the group of other students to carry my bag up and led to my room where a singe "Welcome Margaret to UWCiM" lying on my bed. From what I can see of the city out my window it is beautiful and reminds me allot of Cochabamba Bolivia. I love it here so far and I can't wait to start my first day. The next couple days will be an orientation and then I will start school the 1st.
Thank you everyone for your support <3

I'm ready

Everyone I see lately is asking me questions about the adventure I am about to embark on. "What language will you speak?" "Are you scared?" "Are classes taught in English?" "What are the politics like there right now?" "Will you be able to ski?" "Do you have a host family?" but the question I am asked most is "Are you ready?". I'm not ready. My things are still thrown about and I haven't started packing there is still a long list of things I have to buy, do and pack. But inside I'm ready. I don't speak Bosnian Croatian or Serbian, I am scared, I know very little about the politics, I don't know it I will be able to do the things I currently enjoy doing. but I am ready to go out there and give it my best. I am ready to find the answers to all my own questions.
