It hasn't hit me just yet...

So a few months ago, I got an e-mail from a professor who would be leading the 11th studio summer trip to Vienna. He had seen some of my work and thought I would gain extremely from this trip. As an artist there is nothing more than wanting to constantly improve and gain, so I was sold. I attended the very next interest meeting, heard what the students from the past trips had to say, talked to my parents about going and in 2 days time I had sent in my deposit money and had signed my name down, I was going.

In 4 days I will be on a plane, all by myself, not knowing exactly what to expect once I arrive in London. Me, the person who gets lost the minute she steps foot outside of town, even with crystal clear directions and a map in her hand. How exactly am I going to find my way around London and make it in time for my flight to Vienna? I have absolutely no clue and yet I don't feel the least bit anxious... probably cuz it hasn't hit me just yet that I will be living the next 5 weeks of my life in Vienna. I am excited to say the least and feel extremely fortunate to get such an opportunity to experience, live and breath all the architecture, craft and design Vienna has to offer.

I already have high expectations of this trip. Having looked through the information packets a dozen times, phrases such as "Vienna studio will change your life...to live in Vienna is a gift of a lifetime" and "what you get out of Vienna is a direct reflection of your mental, physical, and spiritual state. Have them all in humming order. Then you can take full advantage and transform," have a tendency to repeat endlessly in your head. So I am starting this blog to do exactly that, have everything in humming order so that I may take full advantage of this trip. Cheesy? Yes very much so, but here I am giving it a go.

I've already started packing, well you could say I've started, but really I haven't given it any thought. I keep packing and unpacking everything every time I have to find an outfit to go out in, so for now its on hold. There are still a ton of things  I need to go out and buy for the trip, a dress for the opera, comfortable pair of shoes, presents for my Viennese family, and a copy of Beethoven's 7th symphony. But instead of planning to go and actually purchase these essential items, I have just secured a lunch date to Honey pig tomorrow with one of my closest friends. All I can think of for now is how delicious its going to be devouring succulent Korean food...yum. The packing will just have to wait until all the good-bye's are said and done.



I can't wait to share this amazing trip with you guys. I hope this will be a great way to stay in touch with friends and family and let them know what exactly I've been up to! Thanks so much for the support. Until next time!
