Pregame

My name is Mitchell.

In September I will be, in order:

1. Quitting my first ever summer job
2. Packing my backpack and a suitcase
3. Traveling by plane for the first time
4. Leaving the great state of Minnesota for the seventh time
5. Leaving the United States for the first time
6. Begin attending the University of Worcester, England, for nine months

As you can see, it will be a very busy time in my life.

This is me:

Last September, I packed my belongings for the first time and came to the University of Minnesota, Duluth, and this year, I've decided to take it even further.

So what do I expect to get from a year across the pond?

I don't know yet. I guess I'll find out.
