Introduction

My name is Julia Upchurch, and I will be leaving the University of South Carolina to spend a semester at the University of Wisconsin-Stout. To catalog my adventure, the National Student Exchange has recommended that I keep a blog about it. So here goes:

I honestly have no idea what to expect before I head off. I've never traveled alone before, and I've certainly never seen more than five inches of snow. Fortunately, my mother has bought me a great deal of sweaters and long underwear, as well as having knitted me scores of caps and scarfs. Now I just hope that I don't lose any of my warm clothes in baggage check.
