Okay, well... Hello everyone!
Soo this is my first post in my first blog ever. Very exciting! I feel like a lot of exciting things have been happening lately namely (drum roll).... becoming the George J Mitchell Scholarship recipient :-D Yaaayyy! Terribly exciting news which has lead me here to my first post. I thought that with this I should state my goals for this blog, introduce myself etc etc. Well the basics my name is Lacy McMoarn I am currently 20 turning 21 in November specifically the 8th, my current location is Lyman Maine (specifically my couch), I attend Southern Maine Community College and as of right now I have one more semester to go before graduating with an associates degree in business administration. After that semester, in thanks to the George J Mitchell Scholarship, I will be attending the Cork Institute of Technology in Cork Ireland for the spring semester from January to May which is why I started this blog.
Studying abroad is exciting in itself but what makes it even more exciting is that it is my very fist time even leaving the country! With my building excitement I am already trying to plan for my trip. So far I cannot seem to find the type of study abroad blog I was looking for. So I thought to myself whats the best way to not only encourage study aboard programs, spread knowledge about the George J Mitchell Peace Scholarship, and also help future and current study aboard students with my experience? Yes, a blog. Through this blog I hope not only document my activities in Ireland but also my feelings during the whole process, planning, and tips that other students or travelers can hopefully learn from and use in their own experiences. I think this is enough for now :)
