Introduction!

Hello everyone!

I am one of the two lucky Baylor graduates who received a Fulbright research grant this year. I will be studying Health Gerontology at the University of Jyväskylä in Central Finland. Like most student grants, mine will begin on September 1st. I'm leaving mid- to late-August. I'm very excited about going, but it seems that there is so much that I need to do before I leave! I signed up to take the MCAT less than a week before I leave, so (after procrastinating for a month and a half), I am studying like mad (or at least I am trying to do so). Plus, there are so many things that I need to do to prepare for my grant! At the top of my list is reading the Finnish Fulbright Center's 100-ish page manual about what I need to do to prepare for my grant. Oh yeah - and learning Finnish.

I am excellent at time management, if you couldn't tell.
