The Day Dreaming Begins

Hello All,

My name is Rhea Reimer and I am officially destined for the picteresque hills of South West Wales vis a vis the amazing Camosun College Exchange program. Studying at Trinity University in Caramarthen has really only recently become a dream of mine. The chance to study abroad, however, has long been one of those murky midnight movies. I must admit, though, I am still a little beyond excitement. This is not to say I am not excited ( you should have seen the glorious victory dance when I learned of my acceptance) I am just that excited that it is hard to completely comprehend. I have already spent many a bus ride and not so stimulating a lecture conjuring up my upcoming adventure but no matter the imagination I just can't fully grasp the amazing enormity of this opportunity.

I've made a home at Camosun over the last couple of years. I know all of the buildings, bus routes and expectations, paired with a solid group of friends I have created somewhat of a routine for myself. (although we all know what a conundrum routine is in the working student world) To imagine what it will be like to start all over, not just at another school, but in another country, is somewhat ungraspable and thus perfect fodder for wild and mysterious daydream entertainment.

I imagine many a thing but nothing will compare to the actuality of the experience. I relish the moment of arrival when my preconceived notions and landscapes will melt away into total reality. Come the New Year Trinity University will be a dreamscape realized. I can't wait to share what that reality will look like.
