First Day Back!

Today was my first day back to school and I loved it! I learned about two really cool opportunities available to me through TRU. First is a one month trip to Australia or New Zealand. This involves two weeks of volunteer work in either community development or conservation, and two weeks of traveling the country learning about the different ecosystems and cultures. HOW COOL is that? Second requires some background knowledge... A while back I posted about going to Japan, and although I haven't given up on going there altogether, I am not going to study there. Simply because in my Tourism program I don't have a lot of room for courses that don't meet the required courses and the Japanese universities affiliated with TRU as of yet don't offer Tourism. SO I have been looking into places I CAN go and I found the most fabulous one ever! GREECE! The Island of Crete to be specific. This university (called Trinity) is a Tourism Management School built in and around a 5 star resort! The dorms are deluxe suites in the hotel and you are minutes from the beach! I am more that 110% stoked about this AND both my parents think it's a fabulous idea that will give me LOTS of opportunities later on in my Tourism career. So I am hoping that tomorrow will be as great as today was!
