Just some information ...

Hey guys! So this is my first official post on this blog. It's not going to be anything extravagant for today, just some information on what the blog is going to be about and what's going to happen with it. I hope to continue with a relaxed/casual style of blogging, nothing too formal. Some weeks may be more detailed than others and may have some more information/stories but I will try to keep ye updated with all the goings on while I'm here.

I plan to try and post on here once a week with all the events of the week gone passed. Hopefully this will be on a Monday or a Tuesday, it all depends on how my timetable for college works out and when I'll be able to get the time to update it. I may even alternate between Mondays and Tuesdays, once I get settled in college, hopefully I will be able to have a routine.

While I'm here I am studying Wildlife Biology, similar to my Zoology course in University College Cork. However, something I much prefer about the University of Montana is we are able to pick which classes we want to do. This way, I feel, it's going to be more enjoyable as I'm handpicking particular classes I am more interested in and not having to do some which I would like less.

I'm hoping by reading this blog, it will help other college students, like myself, in their decision to study abroad for a semester wherever it may be. I didn't just wake up and decide I was going to go on this exchange. It took a lot of discussions between my friends and family and endless amounts of research and planning.

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog! I hope you find it interesting and you'll try to keep up-to-date with my posts as I post them.
