As I got on a plane leaving for Finland – it really hit me just how long I will be out of the country. While I will be traveling through the UK and Finland exploring the amazing children’s theater there for two months, I go directly to Italy after for a semester abroad. Do you know how much can happen in sixth months? A family three months pregnant when I leave will have brought a new life to earth by the time I get back. I left in ninety degree weather, and (knowing Chicago) I will come back to wind chills of -45 degrees. Birds will have migrated, we could discover a cure for cancer, new life forms could be discovered! But, I digress. Ultimately, I have always wished to explore Europe’s theatre scene and what better way to do that than with grant from a University!
