First things first!

Hello World! 

My name is Jenny, I'm a 23 years young German and with this blog I want share the experiences I'll make in my semester abroad. In the end of august I hope to travel to Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA and spent the fall term 2014 at the University of Tulsa (TU). 

I decided to blog about my upcoming adventure for a few reasons. The main reason is that I want to document the things that I'll experience because I want to have something that will remind me of my time there. 

Now you might wonder: Why blog then? Scrapbooking or a diary would do the trick too! Well I've found blogging very intriguing for some time now but never really knew how to start or what to write about. So I want to take this opportunity and find out if blogging is something I will enjoy and more importantly if people like to read what I write.

Another reason is that I hope this blog will be helpful for other students who want to spend their semester abroad in Tulsa. The University of Tulsa is the partner University of the University of Siegen where I currently study which is why quiet a number of students spend their semester abroad there. Being in this position I'm curious about the place I'm leaving to. Hopefully with this blog I will be able to satisfy the curiosity 

I'm already super excited for my semester abroad and to share my adventure with you. I even started a new pinboard on pinterest for blogging since I really don't know anything about blogs, except how to read one. If you have any tips for me (or whatever else is on your mind), I would be happy to hear from you! 

Thank you for reading my first post! :) 

With excitement and happiness from Germany,

Jenny <3
